Chapter 8: Full of Complaints

After Chao Jie returned from Song Jiang, he came to Liu Tang's military camp, and a group of brothers who usually had a good relationship had already come at this time, and when they saw Chao Jie coming in, they all stood up with a smile to greet him, "San Lang is here, just waiting for you!" Get in! I have long heard that you have made meritorious contributions in this battle, so my brothers set you a table of wine to celebrate your achievements. ”

It was Liu Tang who spoke, he was about 1.8 meters shorter than Chao Jie, and his dark red hair seemed to be dyed, no wonder he was called a red-haired ghost. Liu Tang's appearance is relatively vicious, even in Liangshan, a place where fish and dragons are mixed with demons, it definitely doesn't look like a good class, no wonder Lei Heng just glanced at him and thought he was a bad person, and he should have been noticed no matter what he looked like in that era.

However, his attitude towards Chao Jie is unusually affectionate, not only with a smile on his face, but also with a caring and loving smile in his eyes, just like a big brother who cares about his brother, so that Chao Jie, who is unfamiliar with life when he first came here, can't help but be moved in his heart, thinking that he must accept this person into his camp in the future.

Several other people are not outsiders, and those who can sit with people like Liu Tang who have been nailed to the label are naturally all people on the same road, and the one with a dark face and a yellow beard is the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu, who is shirtless and only wears a pair of oil pants, revealing a dark and strong muscle; The one next to him who looks a little like him, and who is dressed like him, is the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, but this Ruan Xiaoqi is full of black moles, and he looks very cautious; There is also a long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, at first glance, he is not a serious person, that is one of the famous rice buckets in Liangshan, the white day rat Bai Sheng, several people are Chao Gai's good brothers back then, I heard that Liu Tang was going to entertain Chao Jie, so they all came over.

Chao Jie saw the salute one by one, but heard Xiao Wu say: "Your second brother is looking for the village today, so he can't come, he asked me to toast you on his behalf." ”

"Fifth brother, you guys are too polite, what am I, I don't need to be so grand." Chao Jie was very moved in his heart, and he also said good things on his lips.

Liu Tang sighed, "We all remember your credit, and everyone also sees it, which time didn't you fight back with real knives and guns?" It's a pity that Brother Chao didn't let you be the leader in order to convince the public, which led to today's situation. If you had been the leader then, no one would have targeted you like that now. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi has a fiery temper, and as soon as he heard Liu Tang's words, he immediately raised his eyebrows, "Fuck it!" With the merits of our brothers, why should he be a leader now? It's just that some people have some pickled thoughts in their hearts, which makes my brother so wronged. ”

Ruan Xiaowu knew what his brother was, so he gently pushed him, who knew that Ruan Xiaoqi turned around and glared at his brother suddenly, "Fifth brother, I will also say it if you push me." Brother Song is not doing things fairly, why did our brothers make so many merits but not be rewarded? I also just knew that in this battle, our brothers beheaded two commanders and killed thousands of enemies, but they only got a reward of 3,000 taels of silver, what the hell is this called! ”

"Old Seven, you don't have to go through your brains when you speak." Ruan Xiaowu was also a little unhappy, after all, now his group of people are messing around under others, if this word is spread to Song Jiang's ears, it will not be a good thing, "Is it up to Brother Song to decide whether to be the leader or not?" That's a hint from God, don't forget that each of our names is engraved on the stone tablet. ”

"his stele!" This can speak in vain, "Even I can see these methods as an idler, I don't believe you can't understand it?" It's just a trick. ”

"Forget it, brothers, I'm already very happy to have money, as for not being a leader or anything, I never thought about it, after all, I'm a junior, I..."

"Fart juniors! Saburo, I'm just annoying you about this. I don't know what the reason is that Ruan Xiaoqi didn't say anything more this time, but sat back on the edge of the table with his head bored, grabbed the wine glass and toasted, and then scolded violently: "Today I said Zhao'an, tomorrow I said Zhao'an, and now I finally accept the bird Zhao'an, but what should we do?" I think one day all our brothers will be destroyed, and they will be at ease. ”

Although Liu Tang agreed with Ruan Xiaoqi's words in his heart, he was unwilling to put these things on the surface, so he waved his hand again and again, "Let's drink a bar, or drink a bar!" As the saying goes, life and death have life and wealth in the sky, and it is better to have fun in time while we are still alive. ”

Chao Jie also drank with them, and he almost threw up after taking a sip, what kind of play is this? It is said that rice wine does not have the aroma of rice wine, and that it is said that white wine does not have the strong aroma of white wine, which is similar to the degree of beer, but it is not as good as beer at all, and it is full of slag, and I don't know what it feels like to drink it in my mouth. But seeing that the other people were drinking, cup after cup, I was really embarrassed to say anything. I muttered in my heart, no wonder those people held the jar to drink when they watched the Water Margin, isn't this bullshit just water?

After a few drinks, Liu Tang suddenly remembered something and asked Chao Jie, "San Lang, I remember that Brother Chao once said when he was alive, you seem to have ordered a family business, you are now this age, should you also go to get married?" ”

"Huh?" This is really unexpected by Chao Jie, I didn't expect that I still have a family business, to be honest, the memory he carried down is not very complete, there are many just in a flash, how many things have happened from childhood to adulthood, and can you carefully write down every single thing? He didn't know about it.

As soon as he saw Chao Jie's reaction, Liu Tang knew that he must have forgotten about it, so he laughed, "I guess you have long forgotten about it, but it doesn't matter, my brothers will remember it for you, and when we take down Fang La this time, my brother will personally bring someone to bring your new daughter-in-law back." ”

"Brother Liu, you have also seen it, we have not stopped in the past few years, except for fighting a war is a war, how can you think about this? Besides, this time Fang La is not as good as those people before, I think we have met opponents, or don't think about these things, save the delay of other girls. "Who knows what Chao Jie is thinking in his stomach, what kind of play you set for me? I don't have the leisure to be blindly married by you, what I want to find is the white rich beauty that I can see, and the rest is no longer considered.

How do you know that as soon as the words came out, Bai Sheng, who was sitting on the side, said, "San Lang's words are not right, as the so-called man should marry and woman should marry, this is a matter of course, this kind of thing is not too late as soon as possible, I don't think it's better to wait to destroy Fang La, now let's send someone to bring the girl back." By the way, who is the girl, and what is the family doing? ”

Liu Tang also smiled, "I forgot too." Chao Yi, do you remember? ”

Chao Yi has been standing behind the table, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course I remember, that girl is from Bianliang called Chen Liqing, her father used to be Tishi, speaking of which, you are not outsiders, Chen Tishi's wife is our little master and aunt, so the two of them have been married since they were young." ”

Liu Tang laughed: "Isn't this okay?" We are not Liangshan thieves now, and we will talk to them tomorrow to see if Miss Chen can receive us here. ”

Chao Jie also felt that he had heard this name there, but he couldn't remember it, so he smiled slightly, "By the way, brothers, I still want your help?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Our ordnance was badly damaged in this battle, I want to ask you if you have any craftsmen under you, can you help me make something?"

Liu Tang sighed, "What should I do?" What's so hard about that! I have more than 100 craftsmen under my command who have used them for you, and Bai Sheng is still in charge of the craftsman's workshop, and he can also lend them to you. ”

Bai Sheng laughed, "Yes, why should San Lang be sad about this matter, just leave it to me what you want to do." ”

Chao Jie has been worried about this recently, and when he heard that this matter had been settled, he was naturally overjoyed, and just wanted to say thank you, but suddenly he heard a big man walking in outside, and as soon as he came in, he shouted loudly, "Are you still in the mood to drink here?" Don't you know that the catastrophe is imminent? ”
