Chapter 1: The Wedge

The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSmoke willow painting bridge, wind curtain green curtain, uneven 100,000 homes. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel. Hu Ying Luo Qi, competing for luxury.

The heavy lake is stacked on top of Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.

Liu Yongyique's "Looking at the Sea Tide" writes about the glitzy beauty of heaven on earth.

In August of the third year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty (1121 AD), Song Jiang led the army to the north after the expedition of Fangla, because Zhang Shu's night army and horses were in Hangzhou City, and the 36 people who survived the catastrophe in Liangshan were stationed in Liuhe Tower under the leadership of Song Jiang, and all the generals rested in Liuhe Temple. The vanguard made Song Jiang and Lu Junyi enter the city sooner or later to listen to the order.

On August 15th, the Qiantang River three more tide letter thundered, Lu Zhishen was in response to the elder Zhizhen to give "listen to the tide and round, see the letter and be silent", that night in the Liuhe Temple to sit down. After the flower monk passed away, the Dahui Zen master who presided over the Liuhe Temple personally went to the fire, the monks chanted and repented, burned the niche, and after the Liuhe Tower Mountain, collected the bones and buried them in the tower courtyard.

August 22 is the seventh day after Lu Zhishen's death. Yan Qing got up early in the morning, finished serving at Lu Junyi's side, and said: Tell the master that today is the seventh day of Master Nalu, and Xiao Yi wants to go to pay tribute again.

Lu Junyi didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Well, it's time to go." I have to go to Hangzhou City with Brother Gongming every day to listen to orders, but I can't go, you can send some incense and candle money to the temple to worship. ”

Yan Qing said goodbye to Lu Junyi, and went straight to the tower behind the Liuhe Temple, and at a glance, Lin Chong and Wu Song, who had a broken arm, were already burning incense under the tower where Lu Zhishen was placed. There are also several monks sitting on the ground and chanting sutras.

At this time, I saw Chai Jin, Li Ying, Zhu Tong, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Yang Xiong, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master, Fan Rui, the Demon King of the Mixed World, Lei Lingzhen, Du Xing, Song Qing, the unicorn dragon Zou Run, Cai Qing, Yang Lin, the golden leopard, Mu Chun, the Xiaosha Mu Chun, the Jiao Tong Wei out of the hole, the mirage Tong Meng, Shi Qian and others came to worship the incense one after another.

After Li Kui finished worshipping, he didn't care about everyone, grabbed Yan Qing and shouted: Brother Xiaoyi, I haven't seen you for a few days, where are you going to mess around? Nor did he bring an iron ox.

Yan Qing's wrist shook slightly, and she shook off Li Kui's rough hand: "You stop talking nonsense, and wait until the memorial ceremony of the brothers is over." ”

"Hmph, since we went to Jiangnan, how many brothers are gone? Now that the master has also gone, I'm afraid that if he returns to the imperial court, this worship is indispensable! Li Kui's voice was louder.

Lin Chong and Wu Song glanced at each other when they heard Li Kui's words, and then fell silent. Chai Jin and Li Ying had a hint of surprise on their faces. The corner of Zhu Wu's mouth showed a slight mocking smile.

"Iron Bull, you are talking nonsense! The master is full of merit, and he sits and leaves. It is the right thing to do. Who taught you what you just said? Don't talk about it later. Yan Qing quickly stopped it.

At this time, the red sun rose into the sky, and Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong, Sun Lishi and Shi Ran came.

Hu Yanzhuo and the three of them saluted and said: "General Guan Sheng originally wanted to come, but he didn't expect to get a cold last night, so today he asked me to salute Master Lu on his behalf, but he asked all the brothers to forgive me. ”

Yan Qing's heart brightened when she heard this. That Guan Sheng is arrogant by nature, and he is a military general and a high-ranking official, so he never looks down on most of the brothers in Liangshan. It's common sense that you don't come today.

But seeing that everyone had finished worshipping, Wu Song saluted everyone with one hand: "Thank you brothers for coming to salute." Now that I have become a monk in the monastery, I still have homework to do today, so I will go first to confess. After that, he actually went back to the temple first.

Yan Qing thought to herself: This Wu Ercheng is the same as Monk Hua, just drinking wine and eating meat. When did you do your monastic homework? It's just that I don't want Wu Song to be a straight man in the past, and he has learned to excuse himself.

Seeing that Wu Song left first, everyone was not very interested in gathering, and everyone said goodbye one by one. Chai Jin left with Li Ying and Dai Zong, the three of them kept whispering, and Du Xing followed behind the three of them with a vigilant look, his eyes sweeping around.

I don't know when, Shi Qian came to the prodigal son's side, winked at Yan Qing, and whispered: Brother Xiaoyi, this Master Lu is only forty years old, and he is strong and strong on weekdays, why did he suddenly pass away? How? β€œ

Yan Qing tilted her head: "Are you asking me this?" I couldn't help but glance at Li Kui on the other side again.

Li Kui didn't seem to hear the two of them talking, and said to himself: "It's boring, it's boring." Or I'll eat and drink, every one of you. Anyway, Brother Gongming goes to the city every day, and he can't care about me. After saying that, he sang a promise to Yan Qing, and ignored Shi Qian and left.

Seeing that there was no one else, Shi Qian said again: "Hehe, since I followed Brother Song to the imperial court, this expedition to the south and the north, the good brothers have gone to seven or eight out of ten." It's really not easy to be an official in the imperial court. ”

Yan Qing was the most clever among the people in Liangshan, and she didn't answer Shi Qian's words, and continued to listen to him: "Brother Xiaoyi, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, but stealing chickens and touching dogs, and the brothers on the mountain look down on me, it is rare that you never underestimate me." I'll be honest with you today, I'll take you to watch a good show in the evening, would you like to come? ”

Yan Qing's eyes swept over the time: "Could it be。。。。。。 ”

"Hehe, you guessed one or two, right? Seeing that he is about to return to Beijing, it is better to plan early. Okay, let's meet here in Tallinn tonight. Then he turned around and left. [Note 1]

At the second watch, Yan Qing dressed in black clothes and black pants and quietly slipped to the edge of Tallinn. At this time, he heard a gentle bird cry overhead, Yan Qing leaned against the tower wall and raised his eyes to see Shi Qian showing his head on the top of the tower, and pointed to Yan Qing at the last row of monks' rooms in Liuhe Temple, and his body was flying away. Yan Qing observed that there was indeed no one around, so she hurried over after Shi Qian.

When Yan Qing looked at Shi Qian's figure stopped outside a monk's room, and also approached, when the two of them were hidden in the boundless darkness outside, they didn't even alarm half of the insects and ants.

Yan Qing was still a little surprised in her heart, because this monk's room was where Lin Chong lived.

At this time, the door was open, and there was a green lamp in the room, and the freshly cut lamp was emitting a soft light. Lin Chong, the leader of the 800,000 forbidden army, sat on a stool and gently wiped the spearhead of his Zhangba snake spear with a cotton cloth. There were two other people standing in the room, one of them was tall and dressed in a head, and he had a broken arm, it was Wu Song!

The other man was dressed as usual, with his back to the door, and for a moment he couldn't see who it was.

"Two good believers! The second watch just arrived," Lin Chong said lightly, and didn't look up and rub the snake spear by himself.

"Sect Leader Lin, I, Wu Er, am not good at words. What do you want to tell me about this late night? "Wu Song is used to going straight.

"Brother, seeing that Master Lu and I have a deep relationship, I only ask you one 。。。。。。。" Lin Chong raised his eyes and glanced at the other person, and then said: "Now that the army has been calmed down, the army will return to Tokyo soon." Brother Wu, can you return to the dynasty with Song Gongming? ”

Yan Qing and Shi Qian have the most ears and eyes, and there is still a little distance from the monk's room, although the conversation in the house is small, but it can also be heard clearly. When Yan Qing heard this, she thought to herself: This Lin Chong seems to be a little out of line.

"When I went back to Tokyo, did I kneel and lick Cai Jing and Gao Yu in order to seek Gou An? Or are you slowly tortured and toyed with by those bird traitors? Wu Songjian raised his eyebrows, and his eyes subconsciously widened!

"It's worthy of fighting the head of the tiger martial arts, so daring!" Another person in the room gave a thumbs up.

This man deliberately changed his voice! Yan Qing has never forgotten the ability to speak, and the person who spoke was clearly a leader in the cottage, and from the cracks in the doors and windows, he saw that this person was not masked in front of Lin Chong and Wu Song, and now he deliberately hid his voice. Could it be that this person already knew that someone was eavesdropping outside the house?

Yan Qing looked at Shi Qian's hideaway again, Shi Qian, who was thin and small, crouched in the dark and did not show any trace at all, and he was indeed a gentleman on the top of the beam.

I only heard that man praise Wu Song and then said to Lin Chong: "Sect Leader Lin, I know what you are worried about. Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Sun Li and others can return to Tokyo, but you can't go back! It's a death to go back! ”

Lin Chong was silent.

The man continued, "Now it's better to plan like Master Lu。。。。。。。 ”

Without waiting for the man to say more, Lin Chong suddenly raised his head, his eyes like lightning shooting at the man.

"Haha" The man smiled lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, Master Lu's actions can't be concealed even if he is childish." I guessed it in the next one.

"What did the advisor say?。。。。。。 I don't understand" "Lin Chong is a martial artist after all, he doesn't admit it, and he has betrayed himself between words.

Strategist? Judging from the height, it's not Wu Yong, is it Zhu Wu? Yan Qing thought to herself: Those who can live nine deaths are really not good at their peers.

"Since the elder brother already knows, why hide it anymore? Yes, the master is indeed a cheater. Wu Song said to Lin Chong in the first sentence, and admitted it directly to Zhu Wu in the second sentence.

Zhu Wu: "It's not bad. The thirty-six brothers who survived, this Master Lu must be hidden first! Thinking that the leader of the Fangla sect started an incident in the south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of thousands of sectarians and more than 2 million people (historical facts). Unexpectedly, he was captured by Zhishen, and this escorted back to the Song capital and the nine clans must not be taken seriously? The master is a man of temperament, and he was originally a person who hated the traitors and thieves in the court. Now in the imperial court, neither side of the Demon Sect (Manichaeism) can tolerate him! In other words, I will also make a quick decision and find a place where I don't know the ghost to spend the rest of my life. It's just that I left all the brothers behind, and I'm afraid that being alone will be less happy. ”

At this time, Lin Chong not only secretly complained to Wu Song in his heart, although they were all brothers on Liangshan, but who in the cottage knew the bottom of it? This Zhu Wu called Fang La the sect leader, and knew that Zhu Wu was not a member of the Demon Sect? Since the imperial court recruited An, the people of Liangshan beat Wang Qing and collected Tian Hu, and there was no disadvantage, and the leader was not damaged. Who knew that most of the brothers were killed! To say that no one in the cottage is secretly colluding with Fang La, only a fool can believe it!

Yan Qing, who was lying outside the house, was also secretly nervous when he heard this, to say that among the leaders of Liangshan, there were honest ones, some dirty ones, and even some who lost their conscience. But more are shrewd and extremely old. Zhu Wu spoke too bluntly tonight.

At this time, Yan Qing first subconsciously touched the small crossbow arrow on his back with his right hand, and then pulled out the short knife on his waist. Because he could hear the breath of three people outside the house. The distance is in the range of more than one zhang. There were two people on the roof, and one was supposed to be hanging under the eaves of the monk's house. But the time with me is silent, and there is no sound at all. Didn't the other three come early and did a great job, why didn't they hear a little footsteps?

"The military advisor has something to say, it's not early. Wu Er has to get up early tomorrow" I don't know why, when Wu Song said this, he grabbed the snowflake iron ring knife hanging from his waist with one arm (**).

"Second Brother Wu doesn't need to be anxious, today I found Sect Leader Lin to meet here." Zhu Wu said: "Actually, since our brothers gathered in Liangshan, there is no day without being happy!" But after Haizhou was recruited by the imperial court (historical facts), Zhao Guanjia asked my brothers to cut this today and the Ming Dynasty to conquer that. Have you ever had a day of stability? Seeing the good brothers die one by one, how can we not think of a long-term way to keep safe?

Today's saints favor traitors, and heroes in the world are rising. If it weren't for being trapped on the seashore by Uncle Zhang at night (historical facts), I don't think Brother Song Jiang would have accepted the imperial court's recruitment. Seeing that the head of the Lin sect will never be able to return to Tokyo. It's better to make a plan for tonight. ”

Lin Chong continued: "Strategist, please elaborate." You and my brother rolled together in the sword and fire, and there was no need to see the outside. ”

Zhu Wu took a closer look at Wu Song and said, "Okay! Then I'll get straight to the point. I think I am waiting in Liangshan every day, drinking wine in a big bowl, and sharing money. Last year, in order to save Lu Yuan, he broke the Daimyo's Mansion and looted the whole city in just one night. beat Wang Qing and Tian Hu, and this time copied Fang La's nest, hehe, where are these countless goods? I heard that these goods were properly hidden by Brother Gongming, Chai Daguan, and Li Daguan。。。。。。 ”

Hearing this, Wu Song made a "swish", pulled out his ring knife and pointed at Zhu Wu: "Zhu Wu!" What do you mean? ”

Zhu Wu didn't move, but his words changed: "Wudutou has always had a good relationship with Brother Gongming, and I heard that Brother Song has arranged for Dutou to become a monk in this Liuhe Temple, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

"Wu Song is already a wasted man, and he is unwilling to enter Beijing for the Hajj. Brother Gongming naturally did not allow it. Zhu Wu, you finish your words! What do you mean today? ”

Zhu Wu smiled lightly: "Hahaha, aren't you Wu Erlang a smart person?" I'm afraid that this Liuhe Temple is also one of Brother Song's treasures, right? ”

Wu Song hurriedly said: "My Wu Er stood up to the sky, and now he has broken an arm." What is the use of asking for all this wealth? I didn't expect that you, Zhu Wu, were also greedy for money. It's fake to seek a way out for us tonight, and it's true to find out these belongings, right? ”

"Hahaha" Zhu Wu laughed again: "Where did my generation come from?" Rob the rich and help the poor, and do the right thing for heaven! Has this wealth robbed countless people and helped a few poor people? Walk for the sky? Gao Yu was captured that day, but did he ever cut this traitor in two? Brother Liang Shan got rid of which traitor in the court?

Now that I think about it, Song Gongming is just holding the tiger skin that is loyal to the Zhao Guan's family and acting for the heavens! However, I, Zhu Wu, did not change my ambition. Second Brother Wu, do you know that there is a strange book among the many possessions plundered in our Liangshan? And a set of ancient gods (weapons)? Get this strange book and this set of weapons, Wen can determine the country, and Wu can Anbang!

I, Zhu Wu, will not take all the money to heart. But this strange book and ancient artifact, I am determined to get it! ”

"Having said a lot, it turns out that you are still greedy for treasures. I, Wu Er, have never heard of this, and Brother Song has not entrusted me with these things. Didn't you ask about blindness? Besides, having such a treasure can really stabilize the country and get rid of traitors. Why didn't Brother Song Wu use the military division himself? Do you want to think to yourself? Wu Song replied.

Zhu Wu secretly thought: Where will Song Jiang understand that this treasure will be handed over to people? What's more, it's your upright Wu Erlang. Zhu Wu continued: "Second Brother Wu, Sect Leader Lin." Today, the wise people do not speak dark words. Song Gongming was trying to lure Qin Ming into joining the gang at that time, and designed Murong Prefect to kill Qin Ming's entire family.

Another example is the last words left by King Chao in order to resolve it. The plan forced Lu Yuanwai to go up the mountain, and did not hesitate to frame Lu Yuanwai himself first.

Another example is Song Jiang's follower, the black whirlwind like a beast does not even let go of a one-year-old child. He also eats human flesh raw and kills innocents indiscriminately.

From this point of view, Song Jiang and Wu Yong are just people who are hungry for profit. They are just a party to the disaster in Liangshan, and they are really above the court, but they are afraid that they are not much better than Cai Jing and Gao Yu? Expecting their generation to eliminate violence and help the good, and to set the country safe is tantamount to a fool's dream! ”

Hearing this, Wu Song grabbed the steel knife and the finger joints "gurgle", his eyes breathed fire, and he was about to poke at Zhu Wu when he saw it.

"Slow hands" Lin Chong's snake spear set up Wu Song's steel knife, and shouted urgently: "What Zhu Junshi said is not true. Wudutou, did Brother Gongming hide something in this Liuhe Temple? We are not greedy for goods. The fathers and elders of Jiangnan were not shallow because of the scourge of the flower and stone gang, and they took property and distributed it to the poor people. Qishu and divine soldiers let Zhu Junshi win, at least there is still time to hoe and rape to serve the country. How is it bad? ”

"Hahaha, it looks like you're colluding!" Wu Song laughed loudly. The majestic laughter even startled a flock of crows in the middle of the night, fluttering and flying.

Not good! This is about to make a move, Yan Qing, who was lying in the dark, leaned forward, his feet were full of strength, ready to pounce on the house at any time.

Wu Song: "Brother Gongming does have something to entrust to me. But it's not any possessions, strange books, or bullshit weapons. It's a pity, who is my Wu Er? Trusted to be faithful. Don't say it's not what you want, it's it! Your Grandpa Wu won't give it either! ”

At this time, I heard a shout from the rooftop: "Strategist, no need to talk nonsense." How big is Liuhe Temple? I also found it. ”

With a "coax", the roof tiles shattered, and the two people on the house each made their blades down.

In an instant, Lin Chong gave Wu Song a look, and the snake spear went up to catch the two people who rushed down from the roof. Wu Song stabbed Zhu Wu with a single finger and a lightning point. Zhu Wu's figure swayed slightly, dodging left and right in this narrow hut, and the tip of Wu Song's knife was always a few points off.

This Zhu Wu is actually a top master!

The five of them fought in the room, but in the blink of an eye, the tables, stools, and beds in the room were scattered, the tea was splashed, and the window lattices were shattered. The person hanging under the eaves saw that Wu Song couldn't cut Zhu Wu, and the short blade flew into the house with his hand, and shouted: "Wu Er, I'm here to help you!" "Take Zhu Wu directly.

Yan Qing saw that the fight intensified, and took a few steps forward to call for time shifting. The brother's righteousness cannot but be mentioned, although Shi Qian has made outstanding achievements, his fighting skills are limited. At this time, I still took the time to move first, and I saw that it alarmed everyone in the temple, so it was better not to wade into troubled waters.

Yan Qing is close to the time change, the time change is still motionless, strange thing! Yan Qing looked at it carefully, and when her thin figure was curled up in a ball, her mouth and nose were bleeding, and she was already stiff。。。。。

Note 1: The word "hehe" is used in the wedge. Su Dongpo wrote letters with friends, and used "hehe" a lot. In view of the influence of Dongpo scholars in the society at that time, the term was in the Northern Song Dynasty
