Erlong Mountain is not far from Qingfeng Village, and if you take a carriage, you can reach it in one day.

Wu Song and Sanniang set off early in the morning, and when they arrived at the small turtle mountain next to Qingfeng Village, it was already evening, looking at the increasingly dim road, Wu Song hurriedly urged the coachman to let him rush to Qingfeng Village before dark.

Sanniang in Wu Song's arms was also eager, she probably missed her sister Erniang, Wu Song comforted her softly, and her face also showed a little longing.

With the sudden stop of the carriage, Wu Song and the two of them leaned forward in the carriage, Wu Song hurriedly protected Sanniang in his arms, and asked a little angrily, "Coachman, what's wrong?" ”

The curtain was lifted, and the honest old coachman leaned in and said curtly, "I'm sorry, guest officer, I can only drive you here, there are officers and soldiers in front, I don't have the courage to provoke them." ”

During the Huizong period, the officials were like wolves and tigers, and it was indeed not something that ordinary people could afford to provoke, so Wu Song thought for a while, and then got off the car happily, and before leaving, he also rewarded him with an extra ingot of silver.

After getting out of the car, Wu Song moved his legs and feet, stretched out his arm that was a little numb by Sanniang's pillow, and then went on the road with Shi Jin Sanniang.

Not far away, is the famous Qingfeng village in Qingzhou city, this village really lives up to its reputation, at a glance, covers an area of dozens of acres of the village, is full of all kinds of city towers, drum towers and turrets.

The birch-cut trunks stand on the periphery of Qingfeng Village, which is seven or eight meters high, and they constitute the most basic defense of the village.

Although the sky was dark at this time, the soldiers patrolling the stockade and the sentinels watching the wind on the tower could be faintly seen, just like a military town. No wonder it can stand between Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain, and it also assists Qingzhou City to suppress thieves every year.

Wu Song moved his gaze to his eyes, and he found that more than ten meters in front of him, several soldiers were standing there with spears in their hands, staring at them tightly, obviously noticing the three of them.

Wu Song is not afraid, he is now a black-and-white all-encompassing, black-and-white character who is not afraid of the underworld and the white, so he held Sanniang in his left hand and the Longquan knife in his right hand, and strode towards the place where the two soldiers were standing, and Shi Jin followed closely behind.

"Stop." The two soldiers blocked their spears, and shouted at Wu Song with arrogant eyes, "It's night, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Qingfeng Village, don't you know?" ”

Wu Song smiled, didn't take the conversation, he took out a sign from his waist, put it in front of the eyes of the two soldiers, and said coldly, "You can see clearly who you are blocking." ”

This brand is the certificate of his Huazhou capital.

As soon as the two soldiers saw this card, their faces changed wildly, and they hurriedly put down the spears in their hands, and bowed to the ground, "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with Dutong." ”

"Don't take it as an example, now, you don't give way quickly." Wu Song took back the sign and said arrogantly.

"This is natural, but forgive the villain for saying more, they are all surnamed Wu?" The long-faced soldier on the left stood up and asked cautiously.

"Is there a second capital in Huazhou? If you don't give way, don't blame me for being rude. Wu Song thought that this soldier was close again, so he threatened angrily.

"My lord, please listen to my explanation, it's not that the villain intends to obstruct it, but Hua Zhizhai has an order, if you see a person surnamed Wu coming to Qingfeng Village, you must immediately inform him that his friend is all right, and ask him to come to Zhizhai Mansion quickly, and he will set up a banquet to entertain adults."

"Hua Rong?" Wu Song thought in his heart, "He is a good friend of Song Jiang, and he must not harm himself." ”

Having made up their minds in their hearts, Wu Song and the three of them, led by a few soldiers, went to Hua Rong's Zhizhai Mansion in Qingfeng Village. Along the way, Wu Song casually asked a few words about the situation of Qingfeng Village, but unexpectedly, the accompanying soldiers were extremely enthusiastic, chattering in Wu Song's ear, although he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he also learned a lot of information from it.

The predecessor of Qingfeng Village is Qingfeng Town, which is one of the top two economic towns in Qingzhou, with a population of tens of thousands, the medicinal materials and silk business in the town are busy, and the merchants from the south to the north are endless.

But in recent years, Peach Blossom Mountain, Erlong Mountain and other places thieves have swarmed, Qingfeng Town this piece of fat they will naturally not let go, in order to safeguard the interests of some landlords in the town, Qingzhou Murong Prefect set up Qingfeng Village here, with Liu Gao as the Wenzhi Village, Huarong as the Wuzhi Village, and transformed Qingfeng Town into a military town, and over time, Qingfeng Town has also become Qingfeng Village.

The residents of the town are also happy to live under the protection of the army, and Hua Rong is very strict in governing the army, and the soldiers in the town have not done anything to corrupt military discipline, so Qingfeng Village is also prosperous and abnormal.

On the way to go, Wu Song found a variety of restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street, brothels and gambling houses, although it was evening at this time, the lights were bright, people came and went, it was like a prosperous scene in troubled times, which made Wu Song can't help but feel a little emotional, in ancient times, whether it was a rule or a troubled time, those landlords and old wealth would never suffer.

Several soldiers led Wu Song and the others to the front of Huarong Mansion, and then sent one person to the Inner Mansion to report.

Wu Song and the three of them waited in front of the vermilion lacquer door for a long time, and they saw a group of people walking out, led by two people, one black and one white. Black is naturally Song Jiang, and the man with a white face and a tiger when he walks, it is not difficult for Wu Song to guess that he is Hua Rong.

Song Jiang trotted a few steps, and actually asked before Hua Rong, "Brother Wu, you are back, so I can rest assured." ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand to Sanniang and congratulated, "This is Miss Sanniang, my brother can save Hongyan, it's really gratifying." ”

At this time, Hua Rong also walked up, arched his hand, and said to Wu Song happily, "I have heard the name of Wu Song of Huazhou for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really a good man, come, brother, let's go into the living room to chat, I have prepared the best Yunshan Maofeng tea for the three of you, please." ”

Wu Song frowned, but quickly regained his smile, "Thank you Brother Song, Brother Huarong for your concern, two please." ”

With that, the group walked straight to the living room, followed by the rest.

The living room was brightly lit, Song Jiang Huarong was the main one, sitting on the upper seat, the guests were at their own convenience, Wu Song and the three of them sat at the bottom, and before the two of them could speak, Wu Song opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Song, since you are in this village, why don't you see the second prince and the second mother?" ”

Wu Song came to Qingfeng Village to see these people, and he has not seen any trace of them until now, so Wu Song's heart is naturally very anxious.

"This ...... This ......" Song Jiang seemed a little embarrassed, put down the hand that picked up the teacup again, and said in a slurring voice.

"Why-" Wu Song's eyes immediately became sharp, and there seemed to be a questioning look in his eyes.

Before Song Jiang could explain, Hua Rong on the side said indignantly, "Brother, don't misunderstand, this is to blame that Liu Gao, a few days ago he heard that the second prince came to my house, so he took the second prince to his house as the owner of Wenzhi Village, and the two red faces of the capital are now also in the Liu Mansion, I think he wants to tie up the second prince and the capital, he is really a villain." ”

Hua Rong and Liu Gao have always had a deep contradiction, Hua Rong thinks that Liu Gao is a civil official, has no talent and no virtue, and he only came to power by nepotism with the prefect of Murong, so he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, but Brother Wu, don't worry, the second prince and your two confidants are fine, but they all have to go to Liu's Mansion to see the three of them." Song Jiang was afraid that Wu Song would be angry, so he hurriedly agreed.

After listening to the words of the two, Wu Song felt a little relieved in his heart. He was about to speak, but Sanniang on the side shouted a little coquettishly, "Brother Wu Song, then let's go to that Liu Mansion quickly, I can't wait to see my sister." ”

Sanniang was originally from the green forest, and she didn't know anything about the rules, so her words were a little childish, Wu Song felt a little funny, but she still said with a straight face, "Today, Huazhizhai welcomes us to the house, how can we just go, since the second sister is fine, it's not too late for us to see it tomorrow." ”

"That's right, Hua has already arranged two bedrooms, and Du Tong and this young lady can live at any time, and it's not too late for the two of them to go to Liu's Mansion tomorrow." Hua Rong also persuaded on the side.

Shi Jin, Song Jiang and others also said the same.

Sanniang naturally listened to Wu Song for everything, she had no choice but to accept her little temperament, and planned to see her sister again tomorrow.

Just as everyone was tasting the Mao Feng tea in their hands, there was a notification from outside the living room that "Liu Zhizhai has arrived", Song Jiang and Hua Rong hurriedly stood up, their faces were angry, and Wu Song naturally knew what this Liu Zhizhai was here for.

He also stood up like everyone else, his eyes swept the door, and he saw a middle-aged man in his forties, with a white face and beard, and a somewhat cold look in his eyes, walking into the door.

As soon as he saw everyone, the coldness in his eyes disappeared immediately, and was replaced by a smile on his face, especially when he saw Wu Song sitting on it, somehow, Wu Song felt that his eyes were a little shining, as if he had seen a friend for many years.

"Huazhizhai, don't come unharmed." Liu Gao bowed to Hua Rong who was seated and said.

Hua Rong snorted coldly, and said angrily, "It was originally fine, as soon as Liu Zhizhai came, I was sick, Hua Mou is humble here, please go back to your Liu Mansion." ”

As soon as Hua Rong opened his mouth, he gave an eviction order.

When Liu Gao heard this, he was not angry, there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Hua Zhizhai is joking, since Liu is not welcome here, Liu is gone, but before leaving, can you let this Wudu of Huazhou go with me, several of his confidantes are all guests in Liu's house, and they also miss Dutong tightly." ”

Liu Gao's eyes were very vicious, he recognized Wu Song at a glance, and turned his gaze to Wu Song, which meant to ask Wu Song to express his position.

The second sister is in Liu's Mansion, Wu Song really wants to see them sooner, but he can't ignore Hua Rong's feelings, after all, they are kind enough to invite Wu Song as a guest, and he can't just leave.

Listening to Liu Gao's words, Wu Song had secretly cursed him dozens of times in his heart, but he still bowed to him politely, "This is Liu Gao and Liu Zhizhai." ”
