Han Yu, a great writer of the Tang Dynasty, "Won the Lin Solution" cloud: "Lin is a corner and carries meat, and sets up weapons without harm." "You must be in the soil, auspicious and behind, do not follow the insects, do not trample the grass, the king has come out, and the phoenix, turtle and dragon are called the four spirits." Because the Qilin is one of the four spirits, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, called the Weiyang Palace as the Qilin Palace, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty must be called the Qilin Pavilion. Tang Gaozu Wude four years, take the west to hunt Linyi, in Juye Linzhou. Tang Gaozong called the era name Linde, and the Empress Wu was the province of Lintai. In the fourth year of the Tang Dezong calendar, the Lintai monument was erected in the Qilin Terrace. Ruilin Temple was built in Kirindae. Ruilin Temple was built magnificently, the scale was spectacular, according to local legends, the whole temple covered an area of more than 100 acres at that time, there were more than 100 monks, dozens of tenants. Near the temple, there are shops, stone mills, vegetable gardens, salt furrows, car mills, etc., and it is obviously a self-sufficient economic unit. In the south of Ruilin Temple, there is a small river, the name is Bali River, this river flows in the direction of east and west, the willows on the bank are in rows, the flowing water is murmuring, and the swimming fish can be counted. There is a ferry on the south bank of the river, that is, the "Juye County Chronicle" said "Fulin Gudu". Every time the sun is warm, the wind and the sun are warm, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scholars are businessmen, women and children, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come here for sightseeing.

The only thing you can see today is this earthen platform with wild grass and misery.

As soon as Luda came to the foot of the earthen platform, he heard someone shouting: "Stay, that kid on horseback, you stop me." With the sound of a voice, a big black man jumped out of the barren grass of the earthen platform. I saw that this big man was eight feet tall, and he was in his early twenties, his black face was covered with black stubble, as if he hadn't washed his face for several days, and he was wearing fat bloomers under his body, and two cloth straps that could no longer be seen to be of any color were tied at the hem of the trousers, and a belt of indistinguishable color was also tied around his waist. Leave the money to buy the road. I dare to burst out of my teeth between my teeth. Speaking of this, he slammed the two axes together and said, "Haha, kill or bury." ”

Luda saw that this kid was a female cat who fell down a mountain and a tree, and the tiger was facing the sky, and the first time he blocked the road and robbed the fool, he grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Friend, what is your name." ”

The kid didn't even think about it, "Are you asking me?" ”

Ruda nodded and said, "You see it's just the two of us here, I don't ask who you're asking?" ”

The kid swung his axe and puffed up his chest and said, "Okay, you have to sit tight." ”

Ruda deliberately teased him: "What are you doing when you sit tight?" ”

The kid glared and said, "Why?" I'm afraid I'll call out your name and scare you out of your horse. I threw you to death, and who do I ask for money? ”

Ruda laughed and said, "Okay, I'll sit tight, you can sign up!" ”

The kid handed over the double axe in his left hand and held it, patted his chest with his right hand and said, "Listen, my surname is Li, and my name is Tie Niu." The three characters together are called Li Tieniu, Li Tieniu is me, and I am Li Tieniu. Li Tieniu and I are inseparable. ”

Luda almost didn't laugh off his big teeth and said, "Friend Li Tieniu, what do you want to do if you block the road and don't let me pass?" ”

Li Tieniu said: "I said that the stupid big man right away, are you stupid or I stupid." Of course I asked for money to stop you, and I haven't eaten since morning. My mother said that people are iron, rice is steel, and I was hungry and panicked if I didn't eat one meal, and now I haven't eaten two meals. I'm so hungry that my eyes are glazed, so you hurry up and take out the money, so I can go to the city to buy food." ”

Ruda smiled and said, "Then what if I don't give you the money?" ”

Li Tieniu glared and said, "Why don't you give me the money." That's fine, I'll invite you to dinner. ”

Ruda said, "What are you asking me to eat?" ”

Li Tieniu waved his axe and said, "I invite you to eat the plate axe and chop the meat." As he spoke, he strode forward, and an axe slashed at Ruda, who stepped on his horse's right leg.

Ruda lifted the reins of his horse, and the snow lion jumped to the side to dodge it. Luda lifted his legs and flew off the horse and said, "Okay, I'll taste the taste of your plate axe chopping meat." ”

Li Tieniu smiled stupidly: "Hehe, stupid big man, then I'm welcome." ”

Ruda stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Then come on." ”

Li Tieniu said: "Okay, you want to find death." Then don't blame me for being vicious. An axe slashed at Luda's front door, Luda flashed sideways, but the shot was gently pushed on his back, Li Tieniu ran forward a few steps forward and lay on the ground with his head, the axe fell far away, making a mouth full of mud, Li Tieniu got up from the ground, raised his hand to wipe the mud on the corner of his mouth, and left without looking back.

Ruda walked over and picked up two axes from the ground, threw them over, and said, "Take your guy for dinner." ”

Li Tieniu turned around and took the axe and said, "Thank you, then I'm leaving." As he spoke, he turned his head and walked out, shook off his stride, jumped onto the dirt platform, and left.

Ruda shook his head and smiled, "There's such a stupid thief there." So saying, he jumped on his horse again.

Luda hit his horse like a fly, and hurried to Yuncheng in front of him.

The day had just been wiped out and Luda rode into Yuncheng, which was relatively prosperous compared to Juye, and at this time, the shops on both sides of the street were their own shops with bright lanterns in front of them, and there were more pedestrians coming and going. Luda came to the yamen of Yuncheng County, located in the south of the city, took out a set of waist cards and shook them in front of the officials guarding the gate, and said, "Go and find your magistrate." ”

The official looked at the waist card and nodded, and said, "My lord, our county magistrate has been waiting for your old man to arrive in the yali for a long time." So saying, he ran inside.

After a while, I saw the official leading the magistrate and another person over,

The magistrate stepped forward and bowed: "Under Cao Zijing, I have been waiting for my adult for a long time. ”

Luda was slightly surprised and said, "How does the magistrate know that I am coming to you today?" ”

Zhixian said: "Three days ago, we received a message from the flying pigeons, saying that you General Lu is coming, so we have been waiting for it for the past three days!" ”

Luda said: "In this way, thank you to Lord Zhixian." ”

Cao Zijing said: "How dare you!" General Lu has worked hard all the way, so let's go to the yamen for a cup of tea to moisten my throat, and then we will go to the restaurant to pick up the wind for you. Then Cao Zijing turned around and said to a short and fat man with a dark face who followed him: "Hei Sanlang, you go to the Drunken Eight Immortals Restaurant to see how the wine and food are arranged." ”

Hei Saburo saluted Cao Zi and said, "Let's go down here." As he spoke, he walked out of the yamen quickly.

Cao Zijing, the magistrate of the county, invited Luda into the hall where the guests were entertained, and the official on duty who called him brought two cups of hot tea and said to Luda: "General, please use tea." ”

Luda took the tea and took a sip and said, "Lord Cao, the purpose of my trip, General Qiu Xiang told you in the letter!" ”

Cao Zijing, the magistrate, nodded and said, "It's all said." He asked me to have all the information I had for you. ”

Luda hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you Lord Cao." ”

Cao Zijing said: "You're welcome, who let us and General Qiu Xiang be small, and besides, this is all a matter of serving the court." ”

Luda said: "Who else knows about this matter in your Yuncheng County Ya?" ”

Cao Zijing said: "Except for me, only that Song Jiang knows." ”

Luda asked, "Who is Song Jiang?" What is it for? ”

Cao Zijing said: "Song Jiang is the Hei Saburo just now, he is in charge of copywriting in the county government. I'm going to send him to cooperate with you this time. ”

Luda said: "Looking at the appearance of Hei Saburo, can Si Sven be able to do it?" ”

Cao Zijing laughed and said: "Haha, General Lu, as the saying goes, people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't be beaten, don't look at this Song Jiangchang's appearance, he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes from Jeju to Tai'anzhou, and his martial arts are also good." ”

Ruda said: "Yes! ”

Cao Zijing said: "The most important thing is that he is more familiar with the area of Tai'an Prefecture and knows the customs there. So I think it's best to have him go with you. ”

Ruda said: "In that case, that's great. ”

At this time, Hei Saburo walked in from outside and said, "Two adults, the wine and food of the drunken eight immortals are ready, please!" ”

Cao Zijing stood up and said to Hei Saburo: "Come on, Song Jiang, I will introduce you to you, this is General Lu, the commander of the 180,000 forbidden infantry in the capital." ”

Song Jiang hurriedly saluted and said, "General Song will see General Lu." Long admiration! Long admiration! ”

Luda hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Song Jiang and said: "Please get up, please get up, just now the county magistrate has told me about your situation, and it will be a lot of trouble to go forward." ”

Song Jiang said: "What is the word labor there, it is natural to serve the country." General Lu, please. ”

The next morning, Cao Zijing, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, who said goodbye to Luda, and Song Jiang left Yuncheng and headed east.

The snow lion that Luda rode was snow-white and snow-white, and the Songjiang people were black, and they were even riding a black horse, and the two horses, one black and one white, were walking on the road, and it was impossible not to attract attention.

The two of them had just ridden out of the city not far away, and Song Jiang whispered: "It's not good, General Lu, we don't know who is following us." ”

Luda secretly admired Song Jiang's astuteness in his heart and said casually: "It's nothing, this kid has been following me since I came out of the giant field." Just let him follow. ”

Song Jiang said: "We just let him follow." ”

Ruda said: "What should I do then? ”

Song Jiang gestured with his hand on his neck and said, "Kill!" ”

Ruda shook his head and said, "At present, there are two kinds of people in this world, one is murderous and the other is killed. Song Jiang asked a little puzzled: "General, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ruda said: "Most of the people who kill are often killed. So I think it's best not to kill people easily. ”

Song Jiang said: "Is there an exception to that, is there anyone who can kill people forever and not be killed." ”

Luda said: "Yes, but there are too few such people, there are simply too few." ”

Song Jiang said: "You know how many people like this. ”

Ruda shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just know that I am such a person." ”

Song Jiang said: "How do you know that others don't kill you." ”

Ruda said: "Because now others don't want to kill me." ”

Song Jiang said: "Why? (To be continued.) )
