Chapter 26 Zhu Gui
Wang Yue's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds during this time, practicing Taoist exercises and bone forging techniques, and with Lin Chong, a great master, on the side, it is difficult to improve.
Originally, he was not Lin Chong's opponent, but now he was able to block Lin Chong's dozens of moves. Given time, it will not be difficult to reach Lin Chong's point.
But he said that Cao Zheng's life had greatly improved with the help of Wang Yue. After the improvement of life, the scale of the hotel has also expanded a lot, and a few people have been hired, and they often sponsor the down-and-out people passing by, and gradually have a certain reputation.
On this day, a sturdy man came to Cao Zheng's hotel, this man wore a deep-brimmed warm hat, a leather jacket, leather boots, and a beard, and his appearance was very ordinary, and he was the kind of person who could not be recognized at a glance in the crowd.
As soon as this person sat down, he immediately called wine and meat, and Cao Zheng saw that he looked like a character in the rivers and lakes, so he personally brought the wine and meat.
When this person saw Cao Zheng, he actually said: "Shopkeeper, it's too boring to eat wine and drink meat alone, why don't you accompany me for a few drinks, and the wine money is mine?" ”
Cao Zheng smiled: "Okay." ”
At the moment, he sat with this man to eat wine and drink meat, and drank a lot, and this man revealed his identity and said: "Don't hide it, it's Liangshan Bo Zhu Gui below." ”
Cao Zheng was shocked in his heart and said, "Could it be that he is the leader of Zhu Guizhu who is known as the Dry Land Sudden Law?" ”
The man nodded and said, "It's just that." ”
You must know that Zhu Gui is not an unknown figure in the Water Margin, he is in charge of Liang Shanbo's intelligence work, which is a very important position. In addition to searching for intelligence, he also has an important job, which is to recruit heroes from all walks of life.
Unexpectedly, he came to Cao Zheng today, Cao Zheng said: "Leader Zhu, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”
Zhu Guidao: "I came to invite Cao Zhuangshi to Shuibo Liangshan, and after the strong man arrived in Liangshan, he sat on the fifth chair, what do you think?" ”
This......
Cao Zheng was there all of a sudden, if it was in the past, the family life was difficult, maybe he really followed Zhu Gui to Liangshan.
But now that he has received Wang Yue's funding, his life is getting better and better, the scale of the tavern is getting bigger and bigger, and he also has a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes, and now he is reluctant to go to Liangshanbo.
Zhu Gui saw Cao Zheng's hesitant expression and said, "I heard that Cao Zhuangshi is the apprentice of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Bianliang City, and he must be strong in martial arts, so why should he be trapped in this small place of Huangnigang?" Why don't you go to Liangshanbo with me and do something big together? ”
Cao Zheng thought for a while, but still shook his head, and said: "Forget it, forget it, I stayed well in Huangnigang, I received Leader Zhu's wishes, but now I really don't want to go." ”
Cao Zheng insisted, and Zhu Gui had no choice but to leave at the moment.
Why did you ask Zhu Gui to ask Cao Zheng to go to Liangshan, it turned out that it was because the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed Liangshanbo, and the people in Liangshanbo were difficult to resist, so they came to recruit heroes from all walks of life.
In the Water Margin, Lin Chong went to Liangshan early, Lin Chong's martial arts are strong, and he is also very proficient in marching formations.
But now Lin Chong has not gone to Liangshan, there are only four leaders in Liangshan, Wang Lun, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui is good at exploring intelligence, and Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan are all very ordinary characters, and they are only slightly stronger than ordinary minions, and they can't stop the officials and soldiers at all, and many people have been killed and injured.
Moreover, Wang Lun is a little jealous and jealous, and often excludes the other three leaders, which makes Liang Shanbo very disunited.
Zhu Gui saw that Liangshanbo was declining, and he had no choice but to go everywhere to recruit heroes, wanting heroes from all walks of life to go to Liangshan.
Water Margin, Zhu Gui was the first person who insisted that Lin Chong go to Liangshan, and later Chao Gai and others came to Liangshan, and he was also the first to accept it sincerely.
It's a pity that Zhu Gui's life is really bad, he is in charge of Liang Shanbo's intelligence work, how important it is, but he is extremely low. Whether Wang Lun is in power, or Chao Gai and Song Jiang are in power, he is behind the elders.
Wang Lun needless to say, as long as he is talented, he is ranked behind, when Lin Chong went up the mountain, he was still ranked behind Zhu Gui. Chao Gai is because Zhu Gui is Wang Lun's old ministry, so he doesn't value Zhu Gui. Song Jiang has his own group of descendants, and all the reuses are his own descendants, and Song Jiang regards Zhu Gui as Chao Gai's old department, and he doesn't take him seriously, and his ranking is getting lower and lower.
Zhu Gui's martial arts are actually very strong, he is known as "dry land law", the so-called law is the meaning of crocodile, how fierce the crocodile is, used to describe Zhu Gui, it can be seen that Zhu Gui's skills are good. The ranking of such a character is almost 100, and when Wang Yue watched the Water Margin in the past, he often cried out for Zhu Gui.
On this day, when he returned to Liangshanbo, Wang Lun blocked Zhu Gui and said, "Where have you been these days?" Why can't I see you? ”
Zhu Guidao: "I'll invite a few heroes and let them come to Liangshanbo to resist the officers and soldiers together." ”
Wang Lun said: "I don't know which heroes they are? ”
Zhu Guidao: "It's Chao Gai Chao Baozheng, the Heavenly King of Tota in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, and Cao Zhengsheng, the ghost of Huangnigang. ”
It turned out that Zhu Gui not only invited Cao Zheng, but also went to meet Chao Gai and others, wanting these people to go to Liangshan.
Wang Lun's face was not good, and he said, "Can anyone agree to come to Liangshanbo?" ”
Zhu Guidao: "I didn't agree." ”
Wang Lun said: "Don't invite others in the future, Liangshanbo is such a small place, the four of us are just right here, and we can't afford to raise other people here." ”
Zhu Gui frowned and said, "Why did the big leader say this?" Not to mention four people, even forty people, four hundred people came here without any problems. Liangshanbo is so vast, can't you support a few people? ”
Wang Lun snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Zhu Gui was speechless for a while, and now he regretted it a little, and said busily: "If you say something wrong, don't take it to heart the big leader." ”
When Zhu Gui left, Wang Lun looked at Zhu Gui's back, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Zhu Gui usually lives in a hotel south of Liangshanbo, and when he lay down that day, in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a strange noise.
He was engaged in intelligence work, and he had always been silent, but he immediately turned under the bed, and then saw countless knife lights slashing towards his bed.
"Good thief!" Zhu Gui snorted coldly, burst out, and threw a punch at an assassin, snatching the knife from the assassin's hand, and slashing at the rest of the assassins.
In a moment, several assassins were all cut down by him, and the ground was covered with blood.
Zhu Gui lit the lamp, and when he saw it, it turned out to be several of Wang Lun's cronies, and he was angry at the moment.
The next day, Zhu Gui came to the island, Wang Lun's eyes flickered and he was shocked when he saw Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui's expression was flat, but in his heart he hated Wang Lun to the extreme, thinking that it was really a good thing that Wang Lun had done.
This Wang Lun really disappointed him, he felt that he could no longer tolerate Wang Lun staying in Liangshan Shuibo, and he must find a real hero to replace Wang Lun.
He himself is engaged in intelligence work, and he is self-aware, and he knows that he is not the material to be a leader, so this hero has to come from the outside.
A few days ago, Chao Gai, Cao Zheng, Bai Sheng and others were invited, although Bai Sheng was a bit famous, but he was actually in the thief business, and such a person was naturally not enough to lead Liang Shanbo. Chao Gai is not bad, but Chao Gai is now working as a baozheng in Dongxi Village, which is the meaning of the village head, and the family has a big business, so it is estimated that it is difficult to persuade. Now it seems that it still has to fall on Cao Zheng.
So, after a few days, Zhu Gui went to find Cao Zheng again.
