Shi Jin said: "Let's go, see that you are also under house arrest for a few days, follow me out for a walk!" ”

Hu Sanniang asked, "Where to go?" ”

Shi Jin said: "Li Jiazhuang! Li Daguan sent troops to the rescue as soon as something happened to the Hu family, so I have to thank you for it! ”

Shi Jin didn't even bother to tell the Hu family a report, and went out directly with Hu Sanniang.

When he came to Lijiazhuang, Du Xing heard that Shi had come in, and hurriedly walked out and invited Shi Jin and his party into the village.

"The master of Shi Zhai will sit down for a while, and the small one will go and invite the big officials to come out!"

Soon after Du Xing entered, Li Ying walked out.

As soon as they met, Shi Jin immediately stood up and clenched his fists and said: "Li Daguan is really a person who keeps his promises, and he rushed to the rescue as soon as he heard that there was something wrong with Hujiazhuang. If it weren't for Li Daguan, I was afraid that my lady would inevitably be imprisoned, Shi Jin is here to thank you! ”

Li Ying saw that he hurriedly held Shi Jin to prevent him from bowing, and said: "I, Li Jiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, have an alliance covenant, which is originally a matter of duty. The master of Shi Zhai is polite! ”

Shi Jin said: "Yes, Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang have an alliance covenant, and it is not Shi Jin's turn to say anything." It's just that Hu Sanniang is my mother, so I naturally want to thank her! ”

As soon as Li Ying heard it, he understood what Shi Jin meant, after Hujiazhuang, it will be Hujiazhuang, and after Hu Sanniang, he will be a member of the Shi family.

Li Yingbu said: "I don't know when I will be able to drink the happy wine of the master of Shi Zhai!" ”

Shi Jin laughed and said, "It's coming! Soon! ”

"Then congratulations to Master Shizhai! Congratulations to Mrs. Hu! Li Ying arched his hand and said to Shi Jin and Hu Sanniang.

Du Xing was also busy congratulating Shi Jin and Hu Sanniang.

Hearing the congratulations of these two people, Hu Sanniang's face was slightly red, and she appeared as a little girl.

After Shi Jin and Li Ying sat down again, Shi Jin looked at Li Ying and said, "Shi Jin came here today because he has something important to tell Li Daguan!" ”

"Oh, what's the matter!"

"A few days ago, our army has captured Qingzhou City and Xucheng one after another!"

"What?" Hearing that Shi Jin led troops to conquer Qingzhou City and Xu City, Li Ying and Du Xing were stunned. "This, this, Lord Shi Zhai is too bold! Is Lord Shi Zhai preparing to rebel? ”

Seeing Li Ying's worried and frightened look, Shi Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry about Li Daguan, we retreated within a few days after capturing two cities. There was no indiscriminate killing of innocents. ”

Hearing that Shi Jin withdrew with people, he did not forcibly occupy the city. This means that Shi Jin and they don't want to rebel, but that's how it is.

It's nothing to be the king of the mountain, and there are many bandits everywhere who do this.

This local government has always been able to suppress it.

can't be suppressed, as long as the thieves don't make too much trouble, these officials will try their best to suppress the matter for their own political achievements and not report it!

When his term of office is up, the troubles will be thrown to the next one. At that time, even if he will flood in the future, it will have nothing to do with him!

But if you attack a city, it's a different story.

This is all a blatant declaration of war against the imperial court!

Local officials simply can't hold it down.

Li Ying frowned and said, "Attacking the city is a big crime. The court will not let you go! ”

"Well, yes! That's why I will inform you and remind Li Daguan to be careful! ”

Li Yingke is not the second ancestor of Hu Cheng, he led troops to assist Hujiazhuang that day, and when he saw that it was an officer and soldier, he knew that this matter was troublesome.

Now hearing Shi Jin say this, Li Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Shi Zhai has hurt our Li family!" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Hujiazhuang has decided to move the family to Liangshan. What are the plans of Li Daguan? ”

Hearing that the Hu family was going to move to Liangshan, Li Ying's face became even more bitter.

If the imperial army presses the border, it will be difficult for Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang to resist the alliance. Now that this Hujiazhuang is gone, it will be even more difficult for the weak Li Jiazhuang to resist!

Li Ying, who had figured out the joint, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Master Shi Zhai, Li Ying also wants to move his family to Liangshan, and please take it in!" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "It is a blessing for us to be able to gather righteousness with Li Daguan. It's too late for us to welcome! ”

"Since Lord Shi Zhai is willing to take us in, I will ask someone to clean it up. Follow the master of the village up the mountain together! ”

"Good!"

After staying in Dulonggang for two days, Shi Jin was about to lead the people of Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang back, when Liangshan's secret agents sent someone to send a message.

After Shi Jin heard this, he said to Luan Yanyu: "Brother Luan, I want to trouble you to escort the people of the two families back to Liangshan." Just got the news. Murong Yanda really arrested Qin Ming, and he was going to be escorted to Beijing for interrogation two days later. I'll take someone to rescue him and invite him up the mountain!" ”

Luan Yanyu said, "Okay, big brother! ”

After Shi Jin told Hu Sanniang and Li Ying, he rushed to rescue Qin Ming with thirty cavalry.

On the official road of Qingzhou, Qin Ming was slowly walking towards the Jingshi with shackles under the escort of two tolerances.

At the fourth watch of this day, the two tolerances called Qin Ming up and hurried away.

When the confession was extorted, Qin Ming's legs were beaten open and rotten. It's early May and it's hot. The wounds were full of pus.

Every time Qin Ming took a step, his legs hurt to death, and he couldn't walk fast at all.

Where will those two tolerances care Qin Ming was in charge of the Qingzhou Command Division before, holding a water and fire stick and constantly urging behind.

But whenever Qin Ming walked a little slower, the two tolerances hit Qin Ming's thigh wound with a stick, "Hurry up, don't grind, dare to walk slower, see if I don't kill you!" ”

Qin Ming was arrogant, even if the pain of being beaten was terrible, he insisted on not shouting out.

In this way, the wound was bleeding, and Qin Ming walked nearly twenty miles that day.

The sky is dark, except for a pine forest not far ahead, there is no village in front of it, and there is no shop in the back.

One of the men shouted, "It's all because you're walking so slowly, delaying the hour." Spend the night here tonight and set off tomorrow morning. ”

The three of them walked into the pine forest, wrapped their luggage, and put it all under the tree.

Qin Ming endured the pain and walked so far, tired and sleepy. As soon as he sat down against the trunk of the tree, Qin Ming's eyelids fought.

The two of them saw that Qin Ming was sleepy, as if he was asleep.

They looked around, but there was no one around. They took out a thick rope from the package, grabbed each other's ends, and immediately circled around the trunk a few times, tying Qin Ming tightly to the trunk.

The chest and abdomen were tightly bound, Qin Ming was immediately awakened, and when he saw that he was tied to the trunk of the tree, he hurriedly shouted, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The two men picked up the water and fire sticks, looked at Qin Ming and shouted, "It's not that we want to harm you, it's the Lord Zhizhou who told the little one to end up with you on the road." You are going to die, so why bother to suffer more. The two of us can go back soon, too! You don't want to blame the two of us, it's just an order from Lord Zhizhou, and the little ones don't dare to disobey! In front of the king of Hades, if you want to avenge your grievances, remember to find Lord Zhizhou! ”

The two tolerances immediately lifted the water and fire sticks and smashed them towards Qin Ming's head!

It's too late, it's too soon.

As soon as the two tolerance sticks were raised, only two swishing sounds were heard, and two sharp arrows flew one left and one right, passing directly through the chests of the two tolerances.

They watched as the arrows on their chests were still dripping with blood, and the loss of strength on their bodies disappeared, and soon their eyes darkened, and their bodies fell limp.

When Qin Ming saw that the two of them were going to take his own lives, he regretted it for a while, he knew that he should have stayed in Liangshan in the first place, even if he was a thief, it would be better than dying in vain here, and he would have to carry the stain of greed for life and fear of death, and take refuge in the bandits.

Qin Ming closed his eyes and accepted his fate!

I heard the abnormality, and when I opened my eyes, I only saw the two tolerances with arrows stuck in their backs, and they fell to the ground and died!

Qin Ming raised his head, only to see dozens of people dismounted in the distance and running towards this side.

When they got closer, Qin Ming saw clearly that it was Shi Jin, the head of the Liangshan thief, the nine-patterned dragon.

Shi Jinyi ran over and hurriedly said, "Shi came in late, it's going to make General Qin suffer!" ”

After speaking, Shi Jin put the good bow back into the bow bag, took out his matching knife, and cut off the shackles and iron locks on Qin Ming's body with one sword.

Two wooden plywoods fell to the ground, Qin Ming recovered his hands and stood up with his hands on the trunk, looking at Shi Jin, his heart was not satisfied.

I will fall to such a point, and it is because of this guy.

But now that someone has saved his life, Qin Ming is not an ungrateful person, and he arched his hand to Shi Jin and said: "Thank you Lord Shi Zhai for saving me!" ”

Shi Jin looked at Qin Ming's leg wounds and scolded: "I should have killed Murong Zhizhou that day, but I didn't expect that my heart would be soft for a while, so that General Qin would suffer." This damn it, Qin Ming worked hard for the imperial court, and he was at the forefront of the battle. Even if he is arrested, he still refuses to surrender, and he is really a loyal minister. I didn't expect that Murong Yanda dog official to treat you like this. I feel aggrieved for General Qin! ”

Qin Ming looked at Shi Jin as if he had been complaining for himself, but in fact, he had been talking about how ruthless and unrighteous the imperial court was.

Qin Ming said impatiently: "Master Shizhai, I heard that you took my family away. What happened to you? ”

"Oh, General Qin, you misunderstood me. I didn't catch your family, yes please. I invite your family to Liangshan as a guest. General Qin, you must know that Murong Yanda is a despicable villain, after you were defeated and captured, I knew that Murong Yanda would never let you go. You are bent on going back again, I am afraid that Murong Yanda will use your family to threaten you. Therefore, after I conquered Qingzhou City, for the safety of your family, I sent a fake message and invited your family to the mountain! General Qin, rest assured, your family is safe on the mountain, and you can go up the mountain to meet them at any time! ”

Qin Ming sneered: "Bringing my family to Liangshan and saying that it was for me, Lord Shi Zhai is really benevolent!" ”

Speaking of the words benevolence and righteousness, Qin Ming accentuated his tone.

Shi Jin said with a thick face, "It's a trivial matter, General Qin doesn't need to be thanked." ”

"You!" Qin Ming gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard it.

Shi Jin pointed to the two corpses on the ground and said, "General Qin, look at these two guys lying on the ground. These two tolerances are thought to be because Murong Yanda was afraid that you would talk nonsense after you went to Jingshi, so he wanted to end you up halfway. At that time, it doesn't matter if you are afraid to abscond, or that you were rescued by an accomplice of bandits, you will not be able to defend yourself. Isn't it? ”

Qin Ming suddenly fell silent when he heard this.

Shi Jin looked at Qin Ming squarely and said, "I admired Qin Ming's bravery, so I wanted to recruit you." But I'm not the kind of person who likes to coerce people. Now that General Qin has been rescued, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go up the mountain, I will ask someone to send your family down the mountain to reunite with you. It's just that what are you going to do in the future? Go back to Qingzhou and turn yourself in? Do you think Murong Yanda will let you go? ”

When Qin Ming heard what he wanted to say, he finally shut up.

The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, and treated military generals harshly.

Unless a civil official has committed the great crime of rebellion, no matter what crime he has committed, he will be demoted and disgraced, and the most important point is exile. No beheading, no punishment.

When the generals make mistakes, they are beaten hard and killed.

Qin Ming was also a little disheartened by the imperial court in his heart. I, Qin Ming, are loyal to the court, but the court treats me like a pig and a dog. If you want me to be in charge of Qin Ming's dignified Qingzhou Command Division, then Murong Yanda can arrest him if he wants, fight if he wants, and kill him if he wants to.

What's the point of what I'm doing!

Although it is not happy with Shi Jin's approach, it also shows that people value themselves.

Anyway, it is impossible to return to Qingzhou now, and his family is still on Liangshan.

Qin Ming sighed and said, "Although Lord Shi Zhai has good intentions to keep Qin Ming, he is disloyal and unrighteous to Qin Ming!" ”

Shi Jin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, the king is unkind, and the minister is disloyal. It's the court that is unkind, how can you blame General Qin for being disloyal. ”

When Qin Ming heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Qin Ming is willing to go up the mountain and return to the master of Shi Zhai, please take it in!" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Qin is willing to go up the mountain, it's too late for me to be happy, how dare I push it out!" ”

Qin Ming's feet were injured, he couldn't walk, and he couldn't ride a horse.

Shi Jin asked his subordinates to find a carriage, and three quilts were put on the carriage, so that Qin Ming lay on the carriage, applied gold sore medicine to the wound, and hurried back to Liangshan.

After walking on the road for five days, the group finally returned to Liangshan.

Shi Jin invited Qin Ming's family out and met Qin Ming. He also asked An Daoquan to give Qin Ming a careful diagnosis and treatment.

As soon as he came back, Shi Jin didn't take care of Zhang Yan and Hu Sanniang, so he was busy arranging for Qin Ming's family, Hujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang to live, and distributing the materials that were snatched back from the attack on Qingzhou City and Xucheng.

When Shi Jin was busy with the group, Zhu Gui walked in and said, "Big brother, Chao Gai and Song Jiang ask to see you." ”

When Shi Jin heard that Chao Gai and Song Jiang were coming, he was very curious about how they would go to Liangshan, so he asked, "Do you know what they came up to the mountain for?" ”

Zhu Gui replied: "It seems that they are interceding for a few old acquaintances, and they have all come three or four times." Because the eldest brother said before that the captured officers and soldiers had to find a way to surrender, a few of us didn't dare to call the shots. So I had to ask them to come back at another day. Now when they heard that the eldest brother was back, they hurried up the mountain to ask for a meeting! ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Please let them in!" ”

Hearing that Chao Gai was coming up the mountain, Wu Yong was also very surprised and rushed to Zhongyi Hall.

As soon as Wu came with the front foot, Chao Gai and Shi Jin walked into the Zhongyi Hall, and several people met each other to salute each other, and sat down separately.

Shi Jin held the tea bowl and said, "I don't know what the two of you are talking about this time?" ”

After Chao Gai and Song Jiang looked at each other for a while, Chao Gai stood up and said, "Master Shi Zhai, the two of us came here to ask Lord Shi Zhai for a favor, and let go of two old acquaintances!" These two, Brother Wu Yong also knows. “

Wu Yong heard that he also knew him, and said in surprise: "Could it be the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng!" ”

At this time, Song Jiang also stood up and said: "It is these two, they are both good men who fight for righteousness and squander money. It's just that both of them are the heads of Yuncheng County and have the emperor's order, so they have to be enemies of the master of Shi Zhai. Please also ask Lord Shi Zhai to look at our feelings, the adults released a large number of these two brothers. We can't thank you enough! ”

Hearing that it was Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, these two people are Wu Yong's old acquaintances. Please also ask the eldest brother to sell a favor and let these two go! ”

Bearded man Zhu Tong! The winged tiger is thundering!

Hearing that there were these two people among the officers and soldiers he had captured, Shi Jin suddenly felt a sense of pity.

Although these two people do not have invincible skills, they also have a lot of skills.

If I knew that there were them, I should have personally recruited the two of them.

It's a pity that they are just the heads, but I am afraid that the small soldiers who recorded them do not take them seriously at all, so no one comes to tell them.

Do you want to let them go now?
