The next day, Song Jiang had just had breakfast, when he saw the minions who were standing guard on the top sentry tower come in and reported: "The owner of the village, you see that the officials of Chai have returned." ”

Song Jiang hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”

The minion soldier said, "I'm walking along the foot of the mountain towards Dazhai." ”

Song Jiang said happily: "Okay, you quickly go and tell the military advisor and let him inform the leaders to gather in front of the Zhongyi Hall." With that, he walked towards the Loyal Hall.

Soon, all the leaders came to the Loyal Hall.

Song Jiang stood on the steps and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, the heroes of the surprise attack on Jeju Mansion are back. Everyone went out of Dazhai with me to greet their triumph. After saying that, he jumped down the steps and led the brothers to the door of Dazhai.

As soon as Chai Jin, Wu Song, Mu Hong, Lei Heng and others stepped up the steps, Song Jiang shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and sound the gong." Played. Suddenly, the gongs and drums on the top of the mountain were noisy, and the suona horns were blown, and the men, women and children of the entire Liangshan gathered in the square in front of the Zhongyi Hall to welcome the return of the heroes.

The little whirlwind Chai Jin hurriedly walked in front of Song Jiang and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Gongming, how can Chai Jin and the others be able to do it, the brothers of the working family are so grandly greeted." ”

Song Jiang laughed and said: "The brothers of the family have worked hard and made great contributions to the cottage, and they deserve such courtesy." Come on, let's have a drink in the hall. As he spoke, he looked down the mountain and said, "Chai Daguan, why didn't you see the two brothers Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian." ”

The little whirlwind Chai Jin, the walker Wu Song, the unobstructed Mu Hong, and the winged tiger Lei Heng looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Song Jiang's face changed greatly, and he grabbed Chai Jin's sleeve and glared: "Chai Jin!" Did the two brothers Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian encounter any accidents? ”

Chai Jin shook his head and said, "Brother Gongming, don't worry, the two of them are just going to do something halfway, and they will come back later." ”

Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, put down Chai Jin's sleeves and said, "It's really scared to kill Song Jiang." If these two brothers have a good one, how can Song Jiang explain to the brothers. It's fine that the two of them are okay. ”

Then Song Jiang beckoned to everyone and said: "Brothers, everyone come to Zhongyi Hall and drink a bowl of wine to celebrate the merits, one is to welcome the triumphant return of Chai Jin and other brothers, and the other is to celebrate our Liangshan breaking the siege of the imperial army on our two roads. ”

One hundred and six leaders came to the Zhongyi Hall and sat down, and began a celebration feast of drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces.

Because, more than 50,000 imperial troops led by Zhang Shuye besieged Shuibo Liangshan for more than 60 days.

For more than two months, everyone has not been able to sleep and eat properly, let alone drink happily together.

Now that the soldiers and horses of the court have already retreated, how can they not have a good time, the brothers drank happily, everyone danced happily, this celebration banquet was drunk for nearly a day, and in the afternoon, it was only scattered one by one.

The little whirlwind Chai Jin stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Jiang waving his hand.

Song Jiang walked over, took Chai Jin's hand and said, "Chai Daguan, follow me to the residence and sit down, Song Jiang has something to say to you." ”

Chai Jin knew that Song Jiang was going to ask Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian why they didn't go back to the mountain with everyone, so he had to follow Song Jiang to his residence.

After entering the room, Song Jiang personally poured a cup of tea for Chai Jin and said, "Big official, sit down and have a cup of tea, Song Jiang has something to tell you." ”

Chai Jin sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Gongming, you can say anything you want." ”

Song Jiang looked at Chai Jin and said, "Great official, you tell me the truth, why didn't Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian go back to the mountain with the four of you." ”

Chai Jin said: "Brother Gongming, this matter has passed, so let's not talk about it." ”

Song Jiang said: "What is considered to be in the past, then Lu Zhishen do you know where he went, do you know when he will return to the mountain." ”

Chai Jin said: "Actually, this matter is all to blame for making the great monk unhappy, and he ran to another place to relax when he was angry, so I had to send Shi Qian to find him, and the two of them may be on the way back at this time." ”

Song Jiang shook his head and said: "Others don't know, I don't know what the flower monk Lu Zhishen is like, what can make him unhappy?" ”

Chai Jin said: "Brother Gongming, Lu Zhishen is not to blame for this, he is also out of a bodhisattva's heart. So I told me about Jeju Prefecture.

Song Jiang sighed after hearing this and said, "Alas, you can't be blamed for this matter, nor can you blame Nalu Zhishen." If you don't burn the grain and grass, can Uncle Zhang retreat from the army, I'm afraid that Liangshan is still under siege. As for Lu Zhishen, he sees things too simply, he thinks about those people, and he is also a rare heart. ”

Chai Jin nodded and said, "Brother Gongming is right," and then said worriedly: "However, this great monk is angry, and I don't know if I can go back to Liangshan." ”

Song Jiang smiled and said: "Great official, you don't have to worry about this, with my understanding of Lu Zhishen, he is not the person who is in the twilight of Qin, don't worry, he will naturally return to the cottage when he has run enough outside." ”

Chai Jin nodded and said, "However, I think it's better to send some people to find this great monk, otherwise I will always be at ease." ”

Song Jiang said: "That's necessary, once that reckless monk gets drunk and goes crazy, I'm afraid that Brother Qian will be scolded at that time." ”

Besides, Lu Zhishen crashed open the city gate that night, and he didn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, just ran wildly all the way.

I don't know how far I've run, and I've been so tired that I can't run.

In the hazy night, I saw a forest on the side of the road, and I fell asleep when I got into it.

I don't know how long I slept, I heard the rooster crow, I got up on the ground, looked up, and saw a tall figure standing in front of me, Lu Zhishen was taken aback, took a step back and raised the Zen staff and slapped it hard, only to hear the sound of "dang", the Zen staff was shocked and bounced away, and his arms were numb.

Lu Zhishen looked at it, not only laughed, it turned out that the place where he slept last night turned out to be a cemetery, and what he smashed turned out to be a stone statue standing in front of the cemetery.

Lu Zhishen glanced at the stone Weng again and said to himself: "Straight mother, a big stone guy, it scared the Sprinkle family." So saying, he turned and walked out of the woods, and walked aimlessly along the mountain path.

As he was walking, he heard someone shouting behind him, "Master, stop, master, stop." ”

Lu Zhishen muttered in his mouth: "This is that pinch of birds, which are there early in the morning to call their souls." ”

When he looked back, he saw that the person was actually making a fuss about Shi Qian, so he said: "Shi Qian, you kid is not with Chai Jinnas, what are you doing here." ”

Shi Qian hugged his fists and saluted: "The good master learned that Shi Qian was ordered by the Chai Daguan to find the master to go back. ”

Lu Zhishen said angrily: "Love to go back, you kid go back by yourself, you go back and tell Chai Jinnasi, Sprinkle is gone." ”

Shi Qian hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lu Zhishen's fat monk's robe and said, "Master, you are alone, this is where you want to go." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "You don't have to worry about it, there are my family everywhere in the rivers and lakes, why bother guarding the broken temple in Liangshan." ”

Shi Qianyang begged: "Master, you can go back with your brother!" If you don't go back, how will Shi Qian explain to the Chai officials? ”

Lu Zhishen stomped his feet and said: "Confess a fart, whether the sprinkle family is dead or alive is a bird matter for him to enter, those wolf-hearted people have no good things." ”

Shi Qian said: "Master, you see that you have kicked the firewood official and vomited blood, and the anger should be gone, so let's go back." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "You deserve it, why didn't I kick him with that kick, kicking this person to death will be one less scourge in the world." ”

Shi Qian said with a smile: "Hehe, master, you can go back." ”

Lu Zhishen glared at him and said: "Shi Qian, the Sprinkle family said that you are not finished stealing chicken thieves, grinding and talking, and then you are rambling, be careful that I kick you away." ”

Shi Qian was so frightened that he hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Lu Zhishen's monk's robe and said, "Okay, I won't be verbose, master, if you go there." ”

Lu Zhishen scratched his head and said: "The lights are blind in the dark this night, I have run away and covered my head, and I don't know where this is." ”

Shi Qian said: "Master, don't go any further, if you go further, you will reach Tai'an Mansion." ”

Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "Hehe, the Sprinkle family is trying to go to the Tai'an Mansion to have a look, I heard that the Daiyue Temple there is a famous temple in the world, and I just happened to go there to pay homage to the Buddha's grandfather." Amitabha! As he spoke, he put the iron staff on his shoulder, shook off his stride and continued to walk forward. (To be continued.) )
