Chapter 29: Shuibo Liangshan
Ximen Qing four people rode their horses to stand on a gentle slope, looking at the right side, a boundless water moored in the noon sun shining a little bit, close to the shore of a large area of dense reeds, with the breeze swaying slightly, one or two big fish jumped up in the water from time to time, and splashed countless white water droplets when falling back to the water, dazzling.
Such a scene, how can there be half a point of northern style, it is just like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. In later generations, due to a series of reasons such as the diversion of the river and the reclamation of the lake, there was only a shallow depression left here, how could there be such a magnificent water area as it is now.
Sure enough, it is an excellent place to occupy the mountain as the king, if there is no strong sailor, even if there is an army of 100,000, it is difficult to level this 800 miles of Shuibo Liangshan that cannot be seen at a glance.
"Big official, someone is coming!"
As soon as the horses under him stood still, he stood upright on one leg on horseback like a monkey, holding one hand over his eyebrows, looking around, with his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, he was a Sun Xingren.
The gentle slope here is only two or three miles away from Zhu Gui's wild shop, and with Ximenqing's eyesight, he can only vaguely see a few people standing outside the store, but he can't see who it is.
"Who is it?"
"In addition to the two who came to the Lion Tower last time, there is also a man with a yellow beard and a white face."
The thief's eyes are very sharp, with Ximenqing's guess, this guy's eyesight is much stronger than the standard of later generations, and what is more specific is that at night, the eyesight of ordinary people will inevitably decline, but this guy is like a tanuki, but whenever there is a little light, he can see the surrounding scenery clearly, and he is delicate. This kind of night eye, there is no one in ten thousand, for the thief ancestor of Shi Qian, it is really like a tiger with wings.
Ximen Qing is familiar with "Water Margin", and after thinking about it for a while, he knows that the yellow-bearded and white-faced man is Zhu Gui, the "Dry Land Sudden Law".
The word Kulu is actually the crocodile of later generations, and these murderous creatures have disappeared in the north at this time, and only some southern waters can be seen occasionally, and as for later generations, they have migrated to the Indochina Peninsula and the jungle areas of Southeast Asia, which are closer to the equator. When the law is on the ground, it is slow, but in the water, it is extremely hidden and ferocious, and it is only a surprise shot, which can often kill the enemy in an instant.
In fact, Zhu Gui's move at the same time is somewhat similar, whether it was in the Wang Lun period or now Chao Gai, he is one who is ignored, and he sits at the bottom of the rankings. Even in the future, when the heavens and the earth gathered, Zhu Gui's seat was also around 100. Speaking of which, if Lin Chong went up the mountain, if Zhu Gui did not take care of him before and after, and spoke out to help him at the critical moment, Lin Jiaotou may not be able to stay on the mountain, and then Chao Gai and others went up the mountain, or even Li Kui, Dai Zong and others, all received his favor. It can be said that Zhu Guiqi is a good person who really considers the great cause of Liangshan but does not care about his own reputation, and among the many leaders in Liangshan who kill people like mustard and do not distinguish between good and evil, Zhu Gui's character can be called a model.
What is even more rare is that this person is a veteran figure of the Liangshan intelligence system, and the person who can fill this position is not a person with a meticulous heart and old eyes, and he is definitely a special talent.
"The big officials are guests from afar, please inside!"
The four of them spurred their horses to the outside of Zhu Gui's store, and Wu Yong led Ruan Xiaoer and Zhu Gui, the two cottage leaders, to meet them, and they were very enthusiastic.
"I'm tired of Leader Zhu's subordinates!"
There were still a few guys in Zhu Gui's shop, and after seeing Ximenqing and his party dismounting, they stepped forward to take the reins and lead the horses to the backyard stables.
Wu Yong and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Ximen Qing being so humble, the rumored Yanggu County tyrant didn't seem to be like this.
"Daguan, it's almost noon, Brother Chao has already led the brothers to wait in the cottage, how about we enter the water?"
"Guests are as they please, and we can take the opportunity to see the scenery of Liangshan Water!"
For Wu Yong's proposal, Ximen Qing responded with a smile, and then under the guidance of Zhu Gui, a group of seven or eight people walked through the back hall of the store, only to see a wooden road about four or five meters long extending straight into the water. With Zhu Gui's loud whistle, a few water birds were startled in the reeds not far away, but in three or five minutes, two small boats one after the other, rowed out of the water pool covered by the reeds, and leaned against this small pier.
Wu Yong and Ruan Xiaoer got on one of the boats with Ximen Qing, while Shi Qian and the Ma brothers got on the other.
After Ruan Xiaoer got on the boat, he took the oars casually and drove the minions who were rocking the oars down.
"The big official is seated, these brothers are fighting in this water pool, this boat is not slow!"
It turned out that the man who was rowing in another small boat was also the leader of the cottage, and it was Ruan Xiaowu, the "short-lived Erlang".
The three heroes of the soft family in Shijie Village are also famous figures in the Water Margin, and the old lady in the family gave birth to a total of seven, and as a result, three of their brothers became adults, and the remaining four all died. This kind of thing is common for today's poor families, even rich gentry like Ximenqing, due to the low level of medical care and hygiene, the infant mortality rate is quite high.
"Fifth brother, follow closely!"
There were only three on Ruan Xiaoer's side, one less than Ruan Xiaowu's side, so after Ruan Xiaoer greeted his brother, he slammed his arms and shook the oars at the stern, but in a moment, the boat flew into the reeds like an arrow from the string.
"Good ability!"
The two small boats cleaved the waves in the reeds, shuttling vertically and horizontally, extremely agile, as if the fish were swimming in the water, without half a point of stagnation and obstacle, which provoked Ximen Qing to applaud loudly.
Through more than ten miles of reeds, the foreground suddenly became wide, a wide and boundless water area appeared in front of me, and I saw a faint black shadow across the intersection of water and sky.
"Is that Liangshan?"
"Exactly!"
Wu Yong stroked an inch of beard under his forehead, and his face was quite proud.
Ximen Qing looked at Wu Yong like this, but he was very disdainful in his heart. Speaking of this fallen talent, there is also a little more talent for change. The matter of outwitting the birth gang, looking at the plan, is quite thorough, but in fact there are many flaws.
Huangnigang is located at the junction of Jeju and Dongpyeongfu, and for Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others, it is a nest grass, and the choice of this location is really a failure. I want to Chao Gai This person is a local Baozheng, and he is a private businessman who sits on the ground and shares the spoils, he is a well-known person in both black and white in Yuncheng County, and there is such a big event in the surrounding counties, even if Bai Sheng's guy is stubborn and does not confess, where can he escape from dislike.
What's even more unwise is that Chao Gai also personally led the team, and afterwards only divided the gold and silver, and did not have half a hand, if it were not for Song Jiang and Zhu Tong, I am afraid that this group of people would have entered the prison early. In the end, he was forced to be helpless, so he gave up his family and abandoned his business to go to Liangshan. As for the Shangliang Mountain, if there is no conflict between Lin Chong and Wang Lun first, the end of this group of people will definitely be even more miserable.
From beginning to end, in this matter, Wu Yong and the others were all moves, without the slightest foresight and reasonable plan, and finally were able to gain a foothold on Liangshan, which can only be said to be three points of strength and seven points of luck.
