Early the next morning, the rumbling drum sounded outside the Juyi Hall, after the three-way drum sounded, the big and small leaders on Liangshan had already arrived, Wang Yue sat on the tiger skin gold chair at the top, and on the left and right were Lin Chong, the head of the leopard head of the three armies, and the military division Lu General.

Further down is the flower monk Lu Zhishen, Baoguang Rulai Deng Yuanjue, mountaineering leopard Li Tianyan and others, a total of twenty-four heroes, Xuanhe stood next to him and passed his name one by one, and confirmed that all of them had arrived at Qi before Wang Yue returned to his life.

Wang Yue nodded, looking at the talent in the hall, his heart suddenly became arrogant, he cleared his throat at the moment, and said loudly: "Brothers, my Liangshan has today's prosperity, all thanks to the efforts of all good brothers, today is also a memorable day, my Liangshan Lecture Martial Arts Hall officially recruits students today, and all the brothers will go with me to the Lecture Martial Arts Hall to prepare for the opening ceremony." ”

"Yes." The leaders in the Hall of Justice responded in unison.

Everyone surrounded Wang Yue out of the Juyi Hall, and came to the lecture hall in the back mountain, on the huge school ground, there were more than 800 students of the first phase of the lecture hall, these people were the elite of the Liangshan Righteous Army, and the vice principal Zhang Jiaotou had already been waiting on the platform.

As soon as Zhang Jiaotou saw Wang Yue and the others coming, he walked two steps quickly, came to Wang Yue's approach, saluted a military salute of the Liangshan Righteous Army, and said loudly: "Wang Yue, the first phase of the Liangshan Lecture Martial Arts Hall has finished lining up, please instruct." ”

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, and said, "It's hard to teach the head of the sect." After speaking, everyone came to the point platform, Wang Yue was now in the center, and the other leaders were lined up on both sides, standing in turn.

Wang Yue looked around, looked at the straight students standing under the stage, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Brothers, today is the day when the first batch of students of our Liangshan Lecture Martial Arts Hall will start, and you are the first batch of students to enter the Lecture Martial Arts Hall and receive training from instructors. ”

"My Liangshan Righteous Army must not only have the momentum of moving forward bravely, the brave who meet on a narrow road, exquisite martial arts, but also have rich military experience and battle skills, you are the future mainstay of the Liangshan Righteous Army."

…………

Wang Yue stood on the stage and spoke freely for half an hour, and the more than 800 students under the stage still did not move, standing straight, and Wang Yue, who was watching, nodded again and again, it seems that the training of the Liangshan army has been effective this year.

After Wang Yue announced the disbandment, everyone returned to the Juyi Hall, and as soon as the leaders sat down, a small colonel walked in from the outside, came to the middle, knelt on the ground with his robe, hugged his fist towards Wang Yue, and said: "Report to my brother, a group of people have come down from the mountain, and they want to join Liangshan, and the leader is a Taoist priest, who is said to be the elder brother's junior brother." ”

Wang Yue frowned after hearing this, and had some doubts in his heart, he was a master, and he died after seeing him, that is, the old man he saved back then, and later passed on his martial arts secrets in a dream, where is there a junior disciple who came, and then Wang Yue said: "Please go up the mountain and come to the Juyi Hall." ”

"Yes." The little colonel walked up, got up, turned and walked out of the hall, and went down the hill.

After the junior colonel left, General Lu, the military advisor next to him, asked, "Brother, where did you come from?" The affairs of Wang Yue's family are also clear to Lu Jiang, but I have never heard that Wang Yue has a junior brother.

Wang Yue didn't know, shook his head at the moment, and said, "I'm also wondering, when that group of people comes to this righteous hall, I'll know." ”

After a while, four people walked in from outside the Juyi Hall, led by a Taoist priest with two heads, loose double buns, wearing a collar of Bashan short brown robes, a multicolored silk silk around the waist, and a pine bronze sword on his back. The white flesh feet are lined with multi-eared hemp shoes, and the cotton bag holds a turtle shell fan in his hand. figure-eight eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes; With a square mouth, a tribe of beards, and fairy wind bones, it seems that he is not an ordinary person.

Next to him was a tall white man, six feet five or six long, with a white face, three teeth and a thin black mustache, and a very thin waist and broad shoulders. Behind a tall white man are two ugly men, one is not like a person and seven is like a ghost, the ugly one can't be uglier anymore, more than seven feet tall, with a numb face, a big nose, one eye big and one small, quite big head with a few locks of hair sparsely left, the body is burly, hunched back; The other man is eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face is like a grinding plate, his eyebrows are completely empty, his face is full of horizontal meat, his strange eyes are round, his lion nose is square, he is wearing coarse cloth clothes on his upper body, and his lower body is a crotch and trousers, and his waist is tied with a plate belt, which is very vicious.

These four people are Sun Sheng, the dragon of Izumo from Tokyo, Xu Ning, the golden gunner, Tang Long, the money leopard, and Jiao Ting, the faceless four people.

Without waiting for Wang Yue to ask, Lin Chong next to him exclaimed in surprise, stood up suddenly, and pointed at the tall and white man, that is, the golden gunner Xu Ning, and said, "Brother Xu Ning, do you still recognize me?" How did my brother get to this Liangshan without being in Tokyo? ”

Xu Ning also recognized Lin Chong at this time, and immediately hugged his fist towards Lin Chong, sighed and said: "Alas, how can the younger brother not recognize the elder brother, the younger brother is a long story when he is here." ”

Wang Yue didn't recognize these four people, and when he saw Lin Chong knowing him, he asked, "Didn't Sect Leader Lin recognize these four heroes?" ”

Lin Chong said: "The other three little brothers don't recognize it, but this tall man is the little brother's best friend in Tokyo, and he is also a figure with a head and face in Tokyo. ”

It's good that Wang Yue didn't listen, he was shocked when he heard it, this golden gunner Xu Ning is definitely a good general in the Water Margin, he is not like Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming is as brave and unparalleled as he is, but leading troops to fight, training military horses, is definitely the best choice, and it is rare to sum it up in four words.

Xu Ning, a one-handed golden gun and hook and sickle spear is unique in the world, and was originally the head of the Beijing Golden Gun Class. After Song Jiang was defeated by Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses, he frowned, and later because of the money leopard Tang Long's recommendation of his uncle and cousin Xu Ning to break the chain of horses, De Lu will use a plan to let Shi Qian steal the armor to earn Xu Ning to go to Liangshan. Later, Xu Ning taught the heroes of Liangshan to use the hook and sickle to defeat Hu Yanzhuo and made great contributions. He is one of the eight tiger horsemen and pioneers of the cottage horse army. During the conquest of Fang La, in order to save Hao Siwen at the North Gate of Hangzhou, he was shot to death by a poisoned arrow.

Although Xu Ning is not a peerless general, he is definitely a rare general, Wang Yue did not expect that this golden gunner would defect to Liangshan, it seems that his arrival has also changed the course of history.

"The name of the golden gunner Xu Ning, Wang Yue has also heard of it for a long time, he has been friends for a long time, he has long wanted to visit, and he has never had the opportunity, but he didn't expect to ask the head of the sect to come to this Liangshan today to meet me, it is really providence? I don't know the names of these three heroes? Wang Yue laughed and said.

Xu Ning's face was frightened, he didn't expect that he was such a small leader, only in Tokyo City, there are not a thousand but also eight hundred, the world-famous Shandong Xiao Meng tasted Wang Yue actually heard his name, and immediately hugged his fist towards Wang Yue's group of heroes in the righteous hall and said: "In Xia Xu Ning, because he was killed by traitors in Tokyo, he was desperate, so he went to Liangshan." ”

As soon as Xu Ning's words fell, Gongsun Sheng next to him, twisting his beard in his hand, recited a trumpet and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, Gongsun Sheng of the Poor Dao has seen senior brother. ”

Wang Yue was taken aback, Xu Ning didn't expect it, this time he didn't expect this Taoist priest to be Gongsun Sheng of Zhuyun Dragon, and said at the moment: "Gongsun Dao Chang is famous in the rivers and lakes, Wang Yue has long wanted to get acquainted, but why did the Taoist call me a senior brother, and where did this start?" ”

Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly, and immediately told Wang Yue about his uncle, that is, Xuanhe's master, the Zhangshan Daoist.

When Gongsun Sheng finished speaking, Wang Yue suddenly realized that Zhangshan Dao was so big, and he became Luo Zhenren's nephew and Gongsun Sheng's senior brother.

Then the money leopard Tang Long and the faceless Jiao Ting also made introductions, so happy that Wang Yue's mouth couldn't close, these four people are all talents, and now there is a shortage of people everywhere in Liangshan, with these four people joining in, it is easy to solve the urgent need.

Tang Long was born as a blacksmith and the son of the governor of Yan'an Prefecture. He spent his days working in Wugang Town, and later met Li Kui, so he joined Liangshan with him. Later, Xu Ning was recommended to create a hook and sickle gun, which made a great contribution to Liangshan's great breaking of the chain of horses. At the time of the great gathering of Liangshan, he ranked eighty-eighth, and was responsible for supervising the manufacture of weapons and iron armor. He died in Qingxi County during the expedition and was posthumously awarded the title of Yijielang.

Tang Long has fewer appearances in the original Water Margin work, and his image is weaker. The painter Niu Muye once had a hymn: "Loyalty and righteousness, illuminating the eight poles." The leopard is dead and leaves its skin. ”

Now many people believe that in order to make meritorious contributions, Tang Long took the initiative to deceive his cousin Xu Ning, who was an officer of the imperial court, to Liangshan and fell into the grass, and also robbed money under his pretence, which is a typical villain's behavior. His behavior of betraying his brother to seek glory is even worse than Lu Qian's betrayal of Fa Xiaolin Chong. But Wang Yue also knew that some parts of the novel should not be taken seriously, after all, now Wang Yue did not see anything unrighteous about this money leopard.

Whether he is good or bad, one thing must be admitted is that Tang Long has exquisite iron-striking skills, which greatly improved the equipment level of Liangshan, so that "there is a strong shield for defense, and an arrow and spear for attack", which independently supports the entire military industry of Liangshan. Although he has bad deeds, he has made great contributions to Liangshan and is an indispensable professional and technical talent in Liangshan.

There is also the faceless Jiao Ting, who was born in a sumo family, and later lived in the rivers and lakes. Because he got acquainted with Li Kui, he went to Liangshan to join the gang. When Liangshan was reunited, he ranked 98th, went to the evil star of the land, and served as a general of the infantry army. He died in Runzhou during the expedition and was posthumously awarded the title of Yoshitsuro.

After Wang Yue heard Tang Long Jiao Ting's introduction, he was overjoyed, and said at the moment: "God bless me Liangshan Shuibo to prosper, today there is my junior brother into the cloud Dragon Gongsun Sheng, the golden gunner Xu Ning Xu Jiaotou, the money leopard Tang Long, and the faceless Jiao Ting Three heroes joined the gang, and ordered the gang to kill chickens and slaughter cattle for a big feast, and wash the dust for the four brothers. ”

Hearing Wang Yue's words, all the heroes in the Juyi Hall applauded in unison, especially Mi Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Ruan Xiaoqi were even more happy.

Ding Yang Hong, the little cook in charge of the room, stood up at the moment, hugged his fist towards Wang Yue and everyone in the hall, with a smile on his face, and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will go and order, today there are four brothers who go up the mountain to join the gang, and I also cook in person, and entertain all the brothers in a good way." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Yang Hong cooks by himself, then I will have a good time, after all, Xiao Ding is not in vain." Wang Yue laughed and said.

"Hehe, the Sprinkle family ate Yang Hong's brother's dishes a few days ago, it is really delicious in the world, these days it is a spoilt for the Sprinkle family, the brother needs to fry more, lest it is not enough to sprinkle the family." Lu Zhishen sat next to him and echoed.

Everyone was inevitably laughing for a while, Yang Hong was also happy and his face was flushed, most of them were still excited, thinking that he had no power to tie the chicken, short stature, ugly appearance, since he was a child, he was ridiculed by others, and was looked down upon by others, where is it like today, and he is also a group of famous heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes, until he came to Liangshan Yang Hong did not know what it was to be free.

Gongsun Sheng, Xu Ning and the four of them are also envious and a little happy, on this Liangshan, all the heroes are righteous and angry, no different from a family, like brothers, how happy this should be, especially Xu Ning, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, is even more emotional, there is no deceit, there is no intrigue, some are just talking about the world, doing the right thing for heaven, this is what a hero should do.

After a while, the banquet in the Juyi hall was set down, everyone sat down, Gongsun Sheng was pulled to his side by Wang Yue, and asked about Luo Zhenren and Zhangshan Daochang, and the others were also looking for someone to drink and eat meat, Lu Zhishen Mi Sheng Where are the two of them, one of them held a big jar and gulped wine into his mouth.
