However, he said that after Chen Taiwei got Yangsan's reply from Yangsan in Jeju Prefecture, he immediately chose a date to teach people to spread Yangsan and make preparations as soon as possible. Uncle Zhang grabbed someone from Liangshan there at night, and instructed him under the corridor: "You can forward this letter to your superiors when you go back, and cut it into sections." The man answered, Uncle Zhang gave a reward of five taels of silver at night, and the man went by himself.

Uncle Zhang walked down the corridor at night, but saw Chen Xizhen there and said: "It's too hard-working, but I'm afraid that the lady won't appreciate it." ”

Uncle Zhang sighed at night: "But do your best, and everyone obeys the destiny of heaven." If this woman can lead the Liangshan Qunhao to return to the imperial court, it is a matter of great luck for my Great Song Dynasty. This trip to the imperial court to recruit peace, the Taishi and the Taiwei sent two people, obviously they are uneasy and kind, and those who are courtiers should be dealt with impartially. We must not cut off the road to obedience of Liangshan because of personal grievances, otherwise it will be of no benefit to the country. ”

Chen Xizhen frowned and said, "Taishou has ever thought about what if this woman's ambition is more than that?" ”

Uncle Zhang said categorically: "If she really has a heart of disobedience, I vow to fight her to the end!" ”

He also said that after Sanniang got Mrs. Chen's reply, he smiled faintly, and said that Lu Junyi, Huang Wenbing and others said: "When the angels of the people come, they are guests from afar, and they should not be neglected." At that moment, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng were ready to go down the mountain to greet them. He also ordered Lu Junyi and Lin Chong to transfer all troops and horses, and prepared to line up in the cottage to welcome the angels. Then ordered Huang Wenbing to prepare for the wine feast and so on.

After the arrangement was completed, the messenger had the opportunity to deliver Uncle Zhang's letter to him. Sanniang unfolded the letter and read it, but remained silent, and threw the letter in the brazier and burned it. Lu Junyi and Huang Wenbing were slightly surprised, Huang Wenbing didn't dare to ask, but Lu Junyi asked, "What does Mrs. Zhang say?" ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "There is nothing new, that is, to persuade me to take into account the overall situation, for the sake of the brothers, to be recruited by the imperial court, and to submit to the Song court, to the effect of this." Sanniang actually concealed the last few words of Uncle Zhang, that is: "If the lady wants to become a hegemon with a daughter, it is really a chicken Si Chen, an idiot dream." The heroes of the world, who can serve a woman? ”

Lu Junyi and the others did not suspect him, so they went to handle it themselves. Sanniang muttered to herself there: "If it really comes to the day when the flag is raised, will it really be as Uncle Zhang said?" At least now there will be no disagreement up and down Liangshan, but what about outside Liangshan? How much do I have to pay to get to the top of the table? After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't make up my mind, so I had to laugh it off first.

In a blink of an eye, the appointed date arrived, and when Taiwei Chen was on the way that day, Zhang Gan did it, Li Yuhou did not ride a horse, but walked in front of the horse, and followed the people behind him, He only had two or three hundred, and the officers of Jeju had about a dozen horses, and they were arranged in front to guide the people and horses. The dragon and phoenix carried the imperial wine in the shoulder, and the horse rider carried the edict box. There are also fifty or sixty people in Jeju Prison, all of whom have to go to Yangsanbonae, hoping to find a small wealth.

Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng led the three hundred rings of the horse army, and they all greeted them halfway.

When everyone saw the Liangshan military horses, they were all startled. I saw that the three hundred ring-armored horse soldiers were all in thin fish scale armor, covered with hideous ghost armor on their faces, wearing phoenix-winged helmets on their heads, and all white feathers and ears were helmets. The war horses under the crotch are all majestic, covered by ring armor and horse harness, and everyone holds a leopard tail halberd, and the cold light on it shines brightly. I saw these three hundred horsemen, lined up on both sides of the official road, standing in a row, painting halberds like forests, horses like dragons, people like tigers, and the spirit of slaughter rose to the sky.

Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan were both dressed as scribes and stood on the road to greet them, while Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were both fully armored, holding halberds, protecting Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan. After seeing Taiwei Chen and his entourage, Pei Xuan stepped forward and said loudly: "Liangshan first-class joined the army Pei Xuan, first-class counseled Xiao Rang, and the generals Lu Fang and Guo Sheng greeted the angels of the court. ”

When Taiwei Chen and the others saw it, they were relieved to see that although this group of people and horses were all in armor, they were polite and courteous. Before Taiwei Chen could speak, Zhang Ganban asked, "Who is your lady?" When the emperor's edict arrives, how can he not come to pick it up in person? What a deception! You are a damned person, how can you stand the court's recruitment? Please go back. ”

Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others were all furious, Pei Xuan said coldly with a straight face: "My lady is waiting in the village, if you want to go, you will go, if you don't go, please go back!" Li Yuhou also said angrily: "What a Liangshan, even the people who came to greet him are so rude, if you don't go, you won't go, you gang of grass cowards will not be recruited, and you will not worry about your gang of thieves flying to the sky." ”

Taiwei Chen was stumped suddenly, he was ordered to recruit An, but now he didn't see the main master, so he went back, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to make a difference. At the moment, he coughed lightly and said: "The two of you are angry for the time being, I think that the people in the countryside and villages don't know the etiquette, since she sent someone to pick them up, she will go up the mountain first." If you get to the mountain, you are still rude, and it is not too late to return. The two of them were speechless.

At that moment, Pei Xuan, Xiao Rang, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng led the three hundred rings of the horse army to open the way, and everyone came to the water's edge with them, and Liang Shanbo had three warships on it, one loaded with horses, one loaded with Pei Xuan and other people, and one asked the captain to get off the boat, and followed a person to wait, and first put the edict and wine on the bow of the boat. That boat was the "Living Yama" Ruan Xiaoqi's supervision.

On that day, Ruan Xiaoqi sat on the tip of the boat, and assigned 30 sailors and soldiers to the boat, everyone criticized the soft war, and the family carried a waist knife, majestic and murderous. When Captain Chen first disembarked, he sat in the middle as if no one was around.

Ruan Xiaoqi beckoned everyone, moved the boat, and the sailors on both sides sang in unison. Li Yuhou scolded: "Village donkey, the nobles are here, and they are all unscrupulous!" The sailor watched him and sang. Li Yuhou picked up the rattan and came to hit the sailors on both sides, and everyone was not afraid, they all pressed their waist knives with their hands and glared angrily. That Li Yuhou was taken aback by everyone's complexion, and he didn't dare to fight the rattan in his hand.

Ruan Xiaoqi stepped forward and replied: "We sing by ourselves, what do you do." Li Yuhou said: "How dare you reply to me, the thief who can't kill the inexhaustible?" Ruan Xiaoqi sneered: "What are you?" Scold again, I'll teach you to eat knife noodles once! That Li Yuhou had never walked through the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know what the knife noodles were, so he just said: "Grandpa doesn't eat your noodles!" ”

As he was talking, he heard a shout from left and right: "The ship is leaking!" It turned out that Ruan Xiaoqi had accumulated two cabins of water in advance, and when he saw that he was disrespectful, he did something to scare him for a while. As early as when Li Yuhou made a disrespectful speech, Ruan Xiaoqi gestured, taught the left and right to pull out the railing, and the water rolled up to the cabin early, and when he called for help, there was more than a foot of water in the boat.

Chen Taiwei and the others didn't know the nature of water, and when they saw the water rolling in, they turned pale with horror. Then Li Yuhou said in a trembling voice: "This boat is leaking, hurry up and call the left and right boats to pick up people." Ruan Xiaoqi sneered: "We are all inexhaustible thieves, how about returning to the West with you today?" That cadre was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he pulled Li Yuhou to accompany him again and again, Ruan Xiaoqi saw that the two were soft, so he whistled, and the two boats behind him galloped to pick it up.

The two boats were about to come together, and everyone rescued Captain Chen to cross the boat. And each of them shook the boat away, and there came the edict of the imperial wine. The two clippers went first.

After Taiwei Chen and the others left, Ruan Xiaoqi called the sailor, scooped up the water in the cabin, wiped the cloth, but called the sailor: "This trip is on the order of my sister-in-law, I am afraid that these officers and soldiers will be poisoned in the wine, you bring a bottle of imperial wine, I will taste it first." ”

A sailor went to Danzhong to take out a bottle of wine, untied the head, and handed it to Ruan Xiaoqi. Ruan Xiaoqi took it and smelled the fragrant fragrance, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Such a fragrance, I'm afraid it's really poisonous, I can't make one, taste some first." "There are no bowls and bottles, so I drink them all.

Ruan Xiaoqi ate a bottle and said: "There is some taste, but this bottle is not poisonous, I am afraid that other ones are poisonous." "One bottle is there to help, and another bottle is taken, and another bottle is drunk. I ate so slippery that I ate four bottles in a row.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "There are still six bottles that have not been tried, how can they be good?" All the sailors knew that Ruan Xiaoqi was joking at this time, and they all smiled and said, "I am willing to test the poison myself." Then he gave the six bottles of royal wine to the sailors and all the sailors to eat.

After eating very happily, Ruan Xiaoqi frowned and said, "I drank his wine, but I didn't compensate him." The sailor said, "There is a barrel of liquor at the tip of the ship." Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Take the scoop of water with me, and take some wine to compensate him." But he loaded ten bottles of village mash water liquor, tied the original head, and then put it in the dragon and phoenix, and flew like a rocking boat, rushed to the golden beach, but it was good to go ashore.

However, it was said that Chen Taiwei and others went ashore first, and they saw Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, Huang Wenbing and others all there to greet them, but there were no incense lanterns and candles, no gold drums, and no cottage drum music.

Zhang Ganban and Li Yuhou were furious when they saw it, and shouted: "The imperial decree is coming, why don't you see your lady come to pick it up in person?" There is no incense case lamp and candle to receive the order? ”

Lu Junyi said with a smile: "Angel Wang Han, we are all rural villagers, and we are not allowed to receive the imperial decree once in our lives, where do we know these rules?" ”

Gongsun Sheng also smiled: "If the angel dislikes me for not waiting for the etiquette, I will go back today, and I will wait for the number of etiquette to be prepared another day, and the angel will come again?" ”

Mrs. Chen's face turned dark, how could he come back another day? When he waved his hand, he said: "No need, those who don't know are not guilty, so I will first introduce Liang Shanhu Lady to listen to the order." ”

Lu Junyi arched his hand and said: "Then ask the angel to go up the mountain, and Hu Niangzi will wait in the Juxian Hall on the mountain." ”

At the moment, when Ruan Xiaoqi arrived on the ship, everyone took the imperial decree and wine, and invited Taiwei Chen to sit in a soft sedan chair, but Zhang Ganban and Li Yuhou did not make arrangements, and the two said anxiously: "How can I go up the mountain?" ”

Lu Junyi glanced at him twice, and asked Taiwei Chen, "I don't know who these two are?" Looking at the shelf, it is bigger than Captain Chen. ”

Chen Taiwei smiled awkwardly and said: "The two are Cai Taishi, Zhang Ganban under Gao Taiwei's mansion, and Li Yuhou. ”

Lu Junyi said coldly when he heard this: "The two little officials under the door, I don't know how old they are, do they pretend to stink." I have to wait for words, greet Captain Chen, you two want to go up the mountain, just walk up, and wait here if you don't get up! Ignoring the two, he led Mrs. Chen's sedan chair and left. The two men and women were furious, but they couldn't, so they had to follow and walk all the way up the mountain. (To be continued.) )
