Song Jiang led the remnants of the defeated army, ran all the way, and finally returned to Qingzhou at noon the next day, statistics showed that there were less than 2,000 people who came back with him, and the rest were folded in Linqu County, fortunately, there was no loss of several brothers under his hands, otherwise Song Jiang finally recruited all the heroes who came to Wang Yue to be reimbursed.

Returned to Dulonggang and didn't say anything overnight, and the next day, the two got up very early, Wang Yue was still thunderous and couldn't move in the courtyard to play Tai Chi, and practiced boxing and halberd, and then washed and ate.

Wang Yue just finished eating, he saw Lu Jiang running in from outside, his face was full of joy, his eyes were full of bloodshots, he looked like he hadn't slept all night, Lu Jiang held a blank paper in his hand, walked in quickly, saw Wang Yue, and said excitedly: "Brother, good news, yesterday's thorough investigation and statistics showed that the materials we seized this time can be said to be a bumper harvest, with these, our Liangshan this year's grain and grass materials are enough." ”

Wang Yue smiled, not too surprised, and said: "As I expected, Song Jiang has the support of the prefect of Qingzhou, Qingzhou is an important town on Jingdong East Road, and it has been a gathering place for merchants since ancient times. ”

Defeat Song Jiang until the end of the year, there is still half a month to go is the Spring Festival Chinese New Year's Eve, Liangshan is prosperous this year, there are many talents, the whole Liangshan is full of lights, lively, Wang Yue also sent a medical team, in the Liangshan Hotel at the mouth of the Li family for seven consecutive days, food and medicine, each village Liangshan sent a Liangshan own fat pig, the surrounding hundreds of people are grateful for the good men of Liangshan and Wang Yue's kindness.

On this day, Wang Yue beat drums and gathered generals in the Juyi Hall, discussing the year-end summary of the cottage, that is, the changes in Liangshan this year, and it was almost over, when a small school ran in from the outside, hugged his fist towards Wang Yue, and said: "Brother Qiyu, seven or eight miles away from the village, and a group of people who went to Tokyo to take the lantern from Laizhou to listen to the general's order outside the gate."

Wang Yue knew that there was a lantern festival in Bianliang, Tokyo on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and Emperor Huizong of Song wanted to have fun with the people, that is, to use a reason to collect money from all over the place, and Wang Yue said at the moment: "Don't embarrass them, let them come up."

The little colonel answered, and then turned around and walked out of the Juyi Hall, and after a while, a group of people came in, two poor people, seven or eight craftsmen, and the one headed by the poor man hugged his fists and said: "I have seen Wang Yue, all good men, the villain is a Laizhou Chengcha Gong, and these are all lampsmiths." For example, Tokyo landed in Honshu, and there were three lights, and two more were added this year, which are Yuzha exquisite Jiuhua lanterns. ”

Wang Yue heard that it was a palace lamp, and he had never seen it, so he asked people to move the palace lamp to the hall, and the lantern craftsman hung up the jade gate lamp, installed the four-sided knotted belt, and counted nine hundred and eighty-one lamps up and down, hung up from the Zhongyi Hall, and hung it down to the ground, which was very good-looking.

Everyone was dazzled, and Wang Yue saw this lamp for the first time, and he couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancient working people.

At that moment, Wang Yue said to the two messengers: "I should have left you, but I am afraid of teaching you to endure hardships and not be stable, so I will leave only this lantern here, and the rest of you will be dismissed." Twenty taels of silver. When the two messengers heard this, they were grateful, and they bowed again, thanked them, and went down the mountain.

After those people left, Wang Yue said: "On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the emperor Lao'er of Bianliang, Tokyo, wants to have fun with the people, how can my Liangshan good man not join in the excitement of such a grand event."

As soon as Wang Yue opened his mouth, Ruan Xiaoqi, Mi Sheng, and Li Tianyou applauded vigorously, saying that they would follow Wang Yue to Bianliang, Tokyo to see the excitement, and also see the world by the way.

Lu Jiang next to him was in a cold sweat when he heard it, thinking that this village owner was really "not doing his job", thinking that one out was one out, and immediately got up and arched his hand towards Wang Yueyi and said: "Brother, Liangshan can't be left without an owner for a day, my brother is prosperous in Liangshan, and he can't be trapped alone."

Wang Yue waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "The military advisor is serious, I will go to the Lantern Festival to see the prosperous scene of the world's largest metropolis, and I will bring a few brothers to go together, pretending to be a merchant who comes and goes, and be careful that there is no big thing in a low-key manner."

As soon as General Lu heard that Wang Yue insisted on going, he didn't stop him, so he had to say: "Since my brother insists on going, please bring more brothers and go early and return early."

"Hahaha, don't worry, there won't be any big mess." Wang Yue said with a smile.

As soon as Ruan Xiaoqi heard that he was going to Tokyo to play, he couldn't bear it anymore, and as soon as Wang Yue's words fell, he hurriedly got up and said: "Brother has to take me Xiaoqi this time, Liangshan has not had anything to do with our navy in several battles, and I have to bring Ruan Xiaoqi when I go down the mountain this time."

"Brother, I'm going too." Mi Sheng was shy, shook his head and stood up, and said with a big grin.

None of the people in the righteous hall wanted to follow Wang Yue to Tokyo to see the excitement, and they all pulled their throats and asked to go down the mountain.

Wang Yue pressed his hand, signaled quiet, and then looked at the people in the hall and said: "Then please Ruan Xiaoqi, Mi Sheng, Shi Qian, Xuanhe, and Zhang San Li Si lead the personal guards of twenty wolf teeth and ten people to go together, and the other brothers strictly guard the cottage and perform their duties, and when I am not there, Lu Junshi, Lin Jiaotou and Lu Tizhi will jointly take charge of the affairs of Liangshan."

"Yes, follow my brother's orders." The people stood up and answered.

After assigning the task, Wang Yue and others packed up and went down the mountain, took the road to the journey, wiped Jeju, passed through Tengzhou, took Danzhou, and came to Caozhou, looked outside the Wanshou Gate in Tokyo, and found an inn to live in, because the city posted the portraits of Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, and the city was heavily guarded near the Spring Festival, and he was afraid of any accidents if he lived in the city.

When they arrived at the inn, everyone had a big meal, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, after eating and drinking, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the sky is dark, but the Bianliang City in Tokyo is very lively, all kinds of lights in the city reflect the whole night as if it were day, and the hundreds of people who enjoy the lights on the street are rubbing shoulders one after another, dense and dense, and it is very lively.

Wang Yue and the others got up early, dressed up briefly, and then walked out of the inn and walked to the city, Wang Yue walked in front, Xuan He, Ruan Xiaoqi, Shi Qian, Mi Sheng, Zhang San, Li Si followed behind, and the other guards were secretly protecting around.

Today, Wang Yue is wearing a white robe of the moon, a jade belt around his waist, a white mink fur coat on the outside, a folding fan of ivory bone in his hand, and a handsome face, the son of a rich and noble family, is suave, provoking the young women and girls on the road to throw flattering eyes at him, and some of them are bold enough to stuff their personal handkerchiefs into Wang Yue's hands, which has just entered the city for less than half an hour, Wang Yue's hands are stuffed with handkerchiefs sent by the girl, and he is embarrassed to take it, and he is afraid of hurting the hearts of the girls. Embarrassed.
