Chapter 164: Three Knots in the Mountains

learned that Kong Sheng was a scholar in Jiangnan, and was recommended by the imperial court and canonized as the county order of Songcheng County in Suiyang; also learned that Kong Sheng knew that Suiyang was a place of war, but he was still willing to give up the comfortable life in Jiangnan to go to the country, not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of life and death, Lei Tingjin greatly admired Kong Sheng.

Lei Tingjin is a straightforward person, and he is not very old, a few years older than Kong Sheng, and he is the same age as Mu Changfeng.

After a brief greeting, Kong Sheng and Mu Changfeng realized that Lei Tingjin had been living in seclusion in this mountain wilderness after escorting his mother out of Yongqiu on the orders of his father. On that day, the An Lushan rebels intended to launch a large-scale attack on Yongqiu, and Lei Wanchun, who was determined to die to die for the country, ordered his third son and his wife to live in seclusion to avoid trouble, while he and his other two sons stayed in the army to serve.

The three of them sat on the ground and talked enthusiastically until late at night, without a trace of tiredness, and felt quite attached to each other.

In Lei Tingjin's view, Kong Sheng, as a scholar and literati, is also an official of the imperial court whose official rank is higher than that of his father, but he does not have those sour and rotten gas and the so-called official frame, and he has a deep affection for him in his heart; And Mu Changfeng is a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and it is not difficult to communicate with a person like Lei Tingjin who practices martial arts. As for Kong Sheng, he is so exquisite, as long as he has a heart, his communication with anyone will be like a spring breeze.

Talking about it, Mu Changfeng patted the sword on his waist and laughed loudly: "Childe, the two of us met Brother Lei in the mountains, and when we fell in love, it was also fate. From a certain point of view, how about the three of us follow the example of the ancients and come to a mountain triad? ”

Kong Sheng was stunned, and his eyes flashed.

Mu Changfeng looked at him eagerly, and he had been with Kong Sheng for a long time. He also accompanied Kong Sheng from the north and south of the river. Along the way, we will share blessings and misfortunes. In various turmoil and life-and-death crises, a deep friendship has been established. He has long wanted to be a brother of the opposite sex with Kong Sheng, but considering that Kong Sheng is an official, and he is born in the rivers and lakes, Kong Sheng may not be willing to really call him a brother.

Now that he encountered Thunder in the mountains, Mu Changfeng took the initiative to mention the matter on a whim.

Kong Sheng's mind flashed, and he guessed Mu Changfeng's intentions. He has been with Mu Changfeng for so long and has known each other, so he can naturally trust it; It's just a relationship with this thunder. In a hurry, it seems a little ...... But Kong Sheng thought about it again, if he didn't agree happily, it would inevitably make Mu Changfeng have a problem in his heart and destroy the original tacit and intimate relationship between the two, and Lei Wanchun's son must not be a traitor, in this case, what about swearing? !

Kong Sheng smiled loudly: "Brother Mu, I just have this intention, but I don't know what Brother Lei wants?" ”

Lei Tingjin laughed: "Lei is a rough person. is a reckless man who practices martial arts, since the two of them can afford a certain family. A certain family is not pretentious! It's better to burn incense and worship to the sky all night and become brothers of the opposite sex! ”

Lei Tingjin is a straight and bold person, just do what he says, he immediately carried the case to the courtyard, and simply put a pot of dried meat and a few Hu cakes, lit an incense candle, and then smiled at Kong Sheng and Mu Changfeng: "Two, the incense case is on the table, at this moment, the moon and stars are scarce, and the three of us swear to the sky and become brothers!" ”

For the Tang people, bowing is not only a formality, but also a solemn ritual. Although the ritual was simple and crude due to the constraints of conditions and the rush of time, in the eyes of Mu Changfeng and Thunder Jin, this was also very serious and grand.

The moonlight is bright and the sky is full of stars. The bitter cold wind whistled from the dark mountain forest, and when it reached the foot of the mountain, it began to turn into a whirlwind, tearing and sweeping the yellow leaves along the foothills, dancing in the night sky.

Kong Sheng's expression was solemn, he took the lead in front of the case, bowed deeply, and chanted in his mouth: "In the south of the lower Jiangnan Kong Sheng, with Mu Changfeng and Lei Tingjin, although they have different surnames, they are brothers, and they work together to save the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! ”

Kong Sheng copied the "lines" of Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although the plot has changed and the artistic conception is different, but the connotation of the oath is the same.

Kong Sheng worships the sky, worships the earth, and then retreats.

Lei Wanchun immediately stepped forward and also bowed: "In the Lower Hebei Thunder Enter, with Kong Sheng and Mu Changfeng, although they have different surnames, they are brothers, and they work together to save the poor and help the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! ”

After Lei Wanchun finished speaking, under the agitation of his feelings, he actually took out a dagger from his waist, cut his wrist, dripped red blood, and fell into the bowl of wine that sacrificed to the sky.

Mu Changfeng also stepped forward solemnly, and also repeated the words of the oath with the same worship, and also followed Lei Wanchun's example, cut his fingers, and dripped two drops of blood. Kong Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had no choice but to step forward and follow the example of the two of them, and poured a few drops of his own blood into the wine bowl.

Lei Wanchun laughed, took two sea bowls, divided the bowl of wine with the blood of the three people added to the heavens into three parts, and took the lead in picking up one bowl and drinking it all: "Happy!" Drinking this blood wine, you and I are brothers in life and death! ”

Mu Changfeng smiled and handed a bowl of wine to Kong Sheng, and when he saw Kong Sheng killed, he drank it himself, then laughed, patted Kong Sheng's shoulder and said: "I am twenty-six this year, as the eldest brother, Lei Tingjin is twenty-five years old, as the second brother, you are the youngest, you are the third brother of the two of us!" Hahahaha! ”

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Third brother!"

Kong Sheng smiled and nodded, his deep gaze slowly fell on the dark mountains and forests undulating with the wind, and in the distance, occasionally one or two nocturnal birds made a mournful chirp, skimming the night sky.

Mu Changfeng and Lei Tingjin hugged their arms and talked intimately, and the hearty laughter of the two reached Kong Sheng's ears, but at this moment, Kong Sheng's thoughts drifted away with the cold wind.

Due to fate, he and Mu Changfeng and Lei Tingjin became brothers of the opposite sex, which may be the arrangement of fate in the dark.

Although most of the stories of Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are made up by the author, throughout the ages, especially in this towering Tang Dynasty that advocates chivalrous righteousness, it is also common for like-minded people to forge alliances. For Kong Sheng, the road ahead is difficult and difficult, and it is not a blessing to have arms like Mu Changfeng and Lei Tingjin to help.

Lei Tingjin's clear gaze fell on the wind-chasing BMW, and he couldn't help but praise again: "Third brother, your BMW is a real miracle horse, priceless, rare in the world, and enviable." ”

There is no one who practices martial arts who does not like BMW Liangju, just as scholars like to play calligraphy and painting.

Kong Sheng smiled: "This horse is a gift from Jiangnan Yang Envoy, named Chasing the Wind, we have traveled along the way, it is difficult and abnormal, this horse has saved my life twice." ”

Mu Changfeng smiled but did not speak.

Thunder Jinxuan was about to set his eyes on Kong Sheng's extended version of Fang Tian's halberd inserted behind the white horse chasing the wind, he only noticed the BMW, and did not pay attention to Kong Sheng's halberd, and at this moment, he was surprised after a little look: "This is the third brother's weapon?" The third brother and one scholar, are they also skilled in martial arts? ”

Mu Changfeng laughed: "Second brother, you don't know yet, our third brother is both civil and military, born with divine power, and is brave. In Pengcheng, he once resisted the more than 100 Modao guards of Li Chuan, the son of King Qiu, and was undefeated, but he had the nickname of Little Overlord, Sailu Bu, and 10,000 enemies! ”

"And the third brother's Fang Tian painting halberd weighs about two hundred and thirty-eight catties, which is beyond the use of ordinary people."

Lei Tingjin was shocked when he heard this, no matter how he thought about it, it was hard for him to believe that the handsome young man in front of him who was weak in literature was actually known as the little overlord and Sai Lu Bu...... What else is the enemy?

He strode over, grabbed Fang Tian's painting halberd, tried the weight, and couldn't help but gasp: "Third brother, this halberd is so heavy, I ask myself how much brute strength I have, but I also feel that it is difficult to grasp...... You...... How can you use such a weapon? ”

Kong Sheng smiled lightly, walked over, took Fang Tian's halberd from Lei Tingjin's hand, held it in his hand lightly, shook a halberd flower with a shake, and then raised his backhand above his head, dancing Fang Tian's halberd.

Lei Tingjin was dumbfounded. The so-called fame is better than meeting, although Mu Changfeng praised and introduced Kong Sheng's so-called "extraordinary bravery", but if it wasn't for seeing Kong Sheng dancing this super-heavy Fangtian painting halberd in person, it would be hard for Lei Tingjin to believe it.

But the facts are in front of you, and you can't help but believe it.

Lei Ting took a long breath, and his eyes were even clearer and brighter: "The third brother is really a natural genius, he can be literate and martial, so brave, in this troubled world, he will definitely be able to make contributions, and it will be no problem to be a marquis in the future!" ”

"A certain family originally didn't believe in the so-called courage of the overlord who pulled out the mountains and rivers, and thought that it was just an exaggeration by the world. But when I saw the third brother today, I knew that I was lonely and arrogant, and I was extremely ashamed. Lei Tingjin sighed with emotion, and looked at Kong Sheng's eyes differently from Fang Cai.

Thesis talents, whether it is Lei Tingjin or Mu Changfeng, they can't be compared with Kong Sheng at all, they are just a little literate and reckless, and they are not scholars;

In terms of force, Mu Changfeng is a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and charging into battle is not his forte. As the son of Lei Wanchun, Lei Tingjin has a family history, and has been immersed in the art of war and fighting boxing for ten years, which is even more beyond the reach of others. But if they fight against each other in the battle formation, it will be difficult for the two of them to compete head-on in front of Kong Sheng's absolute strength of the Ten Societies.

To be honest, for a fierce person like Lei Tingjin, who is quite confident in his own strength, Kong Sheng's transcendence in strength makes it easier for him to admire and even be in awe.

"The second brother has won the prize. The younger brother's martial arts are actually unbearable, and he has only learned a little fur, which is too far behind the two brothers, but fortunately, he still has a lot of strength, and he is barely a weak scholar who is powerless. Kong Sheng smiled modestly: "If I can only recite poems against the wind and snow, and come to the war-torn Henan, wouldn't I be killing myself?" ”

Lei Tingjin laughed: "What the third brother said is true! ”

The two looked at each other and laughed. (To be continued.) )
