Chapter 10 Fighting Gaotang Prefecture Again
The big man grabbed up, looked at Ximenqing, shook his head and said, "Look at your weak writing, you dare to speak out." If I scold you twice, but I have no resentment; If you are struck twice, lest it cost you your lifeβI ask you, do you know what it means to be a good man? Dare to speak in front of the Sprinkler family? β
Ximen Qing saw that although this man was angry, he could still hold his reason and reason, and nodded secretly in his heart: "This person can be handed over." He smiled at the moment: "Although I don't know what a really good man is, I know that there is a golden gunner Xu Ning in Kaifeng Mansion, who makes a good hook and sickle in one hand, and it is not right to step down immediately - although your iron melon hammer is a little mysterious, but can you deserve the hook and sickle of the golden gunner?" β
When the people in Wugang Town heard this, they all made a noise, instigating the big man to teach this stranger a lesson-"This guy is so bold, he dares to come and destroy the prestige of Wugang Town!" β
Who knew that the big man listened to Ximenqing's words, but he was disgusted and happy, and bowed deeply to Ximenqing, and said respectfully: "It turned out that the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family." Your Excellency, do you know that the golden gunner Xu Ning you are talking about is the villain's aunt and brother? The villain is rude, offended the son, don't blame! Hugh! β
The people around him suddenly stared at each other: "There is such a clever thing in the world?" Ximen Qing also went with the flow, putting on an expression of disbelief. But when he saw the big man, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Since this son knows my aunt and brother, can he tell me about my brother's recent situation?" My two brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and they miss them very much. β
Ximenqing looked at his eyes, nodded and said, "What's so difficult about this?" - It's just that the street is not a place to talk. β
The big man said: "It's the villain who is rude!" Ask Childe to sit on the ground in the villain's house. β
Under the courteous treatment of the big man, Ximen Qing pulled Gongsun Sheng and entered the blacksmith shop next to him. When the people around saw that there was no more excitement to watch, they all dispersed.
Entering the blacksmith shop, Gongsun Sheng saw that the house was full of anvils, hammers, stoves, tongs, and chisels, and his heart moved: "Yes! The Siquan brothers must have seen that this man had good martial arts and could strike iron, so they wanted to recruit him to join the cottage! Alas! The Siquan brothers have worked hard for the great cause of Liangshan! β
Thinking of this, he sat down at random and watched Ximen Qing strategize.
But he saw the big man and said: "The villain's surname is Tang, his name is Long, and his father was originally the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture. In recent years, his father died in office, and the villain had no money to bribe the eunuchs who supervised the army, so it was not worth the attack, so he had to live in the rivers and lakes. The heroes on the rivers and lakes saw that the villain was good at making guns and sticks, and he was covered with pockmarks, so he called the villain a 'money leopard'. My aunt's brother Xu Ning, the golden gunner, is the closest to Hu Cong Zhuban Zhizhong in front of the Kyoto Palace, and is in the ninth golden gun class, but I don't know if he has been good in the past few years? β
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Brother Tang Long, I can't hide it from you, the reason why I know the Golden Gunner Xu Ning is because I have a dear brother, he met Brother Ling a lot when he was in Beijing, the two of them competed in martial arts, respected and loved each other, so they often praised in my ears - it's a pity that I am not blessed, but I have never seen the face of the Golden Gunner Xu Ning." β
Tang Long listened, although there was disappointment in his eyes, the respectful look on his face still did not change, and he asked again: "Since your friend can have a deep friendship with my brother and compete with each other in martial arts, I think he is also a good manβdon't you dare to ask his surname?" β
Ximenqing nodded secretly, glanced at Tang Long, and said with a smile: "My elder brother is also very famous-he was the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, and he was nicknamed Lin Chong, the head of the leopard!" β
Tang Long was taken aback when he heard this, and lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it Lin Chong, the head of the leopard of Liangshan?" β
Ximen Qing nodded leisurely: "Exactly!" β
Tang Long was surprised and delighted, and asked, "May I ask the honorable name of this elder brother and the Taoist chief." β
Ximen Qing pointed to Gongsun Sheng and said: "Back then, Huang Nigang robbed Cai Jing's old thief 100,000 Birthday Gang, and there is a credit to this Taoist chief - he is Gongsun Sheng, a Qingdao man called Yunlong by the people of the rivers and lakes!" β
"Oops", Tang Long bowed to Gongsun Shengna: "The villain has been famous for a long time!" Gongsun Sheng hurriedly clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is so lustful when you hear your name, if you know that the person around you is Ximen Qingshi, the son of the Three Wonders of the mighty rivers and lakes, what should you do?" β
When Tang Long heard this, he was even more surprised, turned over and bowed his head and said: "The younger brother is reckless, he dares to speak disrespectfully to his brother, and offended his brother Huwei, he deserves death!" β
Ximenqing hurriedly pulled it up and said with a smile: "It was I who offended first, how can I blame Brother Tanglong?" But if you don't want to go, brother, I'll be cheeky and give you a chance to atone for your sins. β
At this time, Tang Long's face was flushed with excitement, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Brother, please speak!" The little brother has everything! β
Ximen Qing said: "You are striking iron here, and you have buried the hero!" Today is also the fate of heaven, so that we can meet, why don't brothers follow me to Liangshan and do a career together? β
When Tang Long heard this, his blood boiled, and he said in his heart: "What is Brother Ximenqing's identity in the rivers and lakes?" When I first saw it today, I was promised the word 'hero'! He treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman! Therefore, he was even less suspicious, bowed down, and said loudly: "Dare not die for my brother!" β
Ximenqing hurriedly pulled it up and said with great joy: "Today Liangshan, another tiger general!" β
Tang Long people were in good spirits on happy occasions, so they turned over the cabinets and collected a bunch of scraps of copper coins, and wanted to invite Ximen Qing and Gongsun Sheng to dinner. Ximen Qing was secretly sad when he saw it, and thought in his heart: "In this world, how many people work hard, but they can't even mix food and clothing, and they have to suffer from ubiquitous exploitation and oppression!" β
He shook his head with emotion and said, "Brother Tanglong, you don't have to lay it out. Now Chai Jinchai is a big official who has been framed by corrupt officials Gao Lian, and the interception is in Gaotang Prefecture, which is the time to save people like fighting fires. Will you abandon this blacksmith shop now and come with us? β
Tang Long didn't say anything, and in the blink of an eye, he tied up a package and said categorically: "I am willing to lead the horse and fall into the stirrups with my brother!" β
Ximenqing nodded: "Okay!" What is lost today is only the chain, but in the future it will be the whole shijie. β
Gongsun Sheng heard this, and glanced at Ximen Qing, but Tang Long was stunned and said, "What does my brother mean by this?" β
Ximenqing smiled: "It's just, let's go on the road!" β
So, a group of three people went out. Here is not far from Gaotang Prefecture, not long to go, then met the 100 horse army of Lu Fang Guo Sheng patrol, everyone saw Ximen Qing, all were happy, now vacant three horses, Ximen Qing, Gongsun Sheng, Tang Long all on the horse, Wangliang Mountain Dazhai to come. As soon as he entered the walled gate, Lu Yi shouted: "Brother Ximen Qing invites Gongsun Shengjun to be here!" "One spread ten to hundreds, and after a while, the whole camp thundered.
At this time, the big tent of the Chinese army had already been alarmed, and Song Jiang took the lead and led everyone to pick it up. After meeting and speaking, Ximen Qing asked, "How is the war going recently?" β
Song Jiang's face was colorful, and he said with a smile: "Gao Lian, who dared to come to rob the camp, but he happened to fall for Mr. Jialiang's plan, stealing chickens and rice." β
Wu Yong shook the spare folding fan and said humbly: "Carving insect skills, smiling and generous." β
Ximen Qing smiled and said to Gongsun Sheng: "At the beginning of today, I will ask the Taoist chief to rest and recuperate, tomorrow we will get up from the village, go to Gaotang Prefecture to break through Gaolian, and save firewood, how about the officials?" β
Gongsun Sheng said: "Brother Yi." So a feast was set up in the camp, and the people dispersed with joy.
At dawn on the second day, the people of Liangshan made a comeback to Gaotang Prefecture, and kept calling Gao Lian to come out to accept his life.
When Gao Lian robbed the village the night before, he was ambushed by Wu Yong, and was shot by Yang Lin, a golden leopard, in the face. Fortunately, most of the corrupt officials in the world have practiced the magic skills of gold face and iron skin, the cheeks are invulnerable, the fire cannon is difficult to hurt, and they are cheap and have the method of the left way to protect themselves, so although the arrow penetrated more than four inches, it failed to pierce the calluses and hurt the flesh and blood, just drilled a hole in the epidermis and covered up with a plaster. But after all, it was a shock at the critical point, which made Gao Lian's heart palpitate for a long time, so he did not take the initiative to fight.
Hearing that Liangshan people were coming again today, Gao Lian sneered: "I didn't look for him, but he came to look for me, but didn't he fall into the net?" At the next order, Guo Jing led more than 200 neat divine soldiersβmore than a dozen of them were lost during the robberyβand the three armies of Gaotang Prefecture to the school field.
Gao Lian people and horses were all together, put a trumpet cannon, and led the team out of the city to shoot the position, but saw the people and horses of Liangshan on the opposite side, and their spirit was very different from that of the previous confrontation. Gao Lianxin said: "One blow, and then three exhaustions - this is the dying struggle of Liangshan Caokou!" β
At the moment, he shouted: "The soldiers of the three armies, which one dares to go into battle and kill the generals, and take a break in the spirit of the people?" β
Before the words fell, the generals who surrounded him on the left and right all took three steps back from their horses. It turned out that these people had already been killed by Lin Chong, and they were frightened by the indiscriminate arrows when Gao Lian fled for his life, and it was just a good fight to fight with the wind, who was willing to step forward and die for him?
Although it is cold, Gao Lian is not angry, after all, above the officialdom, having milk is a mother, being rich is a father, and having power is a mother, he has seen a lot of this kind of world. Gao Lian stretched out his hand and took out the Tai'a sword, and said in his heart: "It is better to ask for others than for yourself." With a loud shout, the soap carving flag in front of the divine army waved, and the sky was full of black qi and bones.
Who knew that this time the old trick was repeated, but it didn't work. I saw that in the Liangshan array, a golden light rose to the sky, the golden light and Xi were not dazzling, but they grew in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was extremely heavenly. As soon as the black air in the sky met the golden light, it suddenly melted into the scorching sun like ice and snow, and disappeared without a trace. Before Gao Lian could react, he heard a thunderclap like a crack in the nine heavens, and the golden light and black qi all returned to nothingness.
Gao Lian was furious, slapped his horse and rushed to the front of the battle, and scolded: "It's so Diaomin, dare to break my spell?!" "Take off the bronze medal of the beast from the saddle and swing your sword in combo. The first blow, the sky is dark; The second blow, the wind roars and the stone roars; When it came to the third blow, a yellow sand rolled out of the divine army, and all of a sudden the ears were full of the roar of fierce beasts, only to see jackals, tigers and leopards, monsters and poisonous insects, one by one wearing official clothes and hats, shaking their heads and cutting their tails, spitting letters and grinding their teeth, and rushing towards the Liangshan array.
Song Jiang said "ah also", and he turned the horse's head first and ran. Seeing that Liangshan's formation was about to loosen, Ximen Qingyun Dantian shouted like a thunderbolt: "Those who are in vain in the battle are killed!" "The size of the three armies are all a dignified, all of them are the heart of life and death, when they are holding their weapons, they hear a thunderous sound, shocked a hundred miles, the yellow sand is scattered in the thunder, the strange wind is not visible, Gongsun Sheng is holding a pine pattern Guding sword, standing majestically in front of the formation, the jackals, tigers, leopards, monsters, and poisonous insects at the feet are horizontal, and they are all hinged on white paper.
Gao Lian was taken aback when he saw Gongsun Sheng: "This person's popularity is extraordinary, and he is a true immortal on Zhenpeng Island!" At that moment, he put the sword back into the sheath, and made a joke on the horseback: "This Taoist brother is polite in this room!" But I don't know where my brother came from? Why are you against me? β
Gongsun Sheng returned the salute and said: "Gongsun Sheng, who is poor and enters the clouds, heard that there is evil in Gaotang Prefecture, so he came." Gao Lian, I see that although you are the left way, but there are also some Taoism, if you are pure and have few desires, you will be successful in the future, why bother to be greedy for red dust, in this world to make a fortune? If you don't look back, the retribution will be today, and it is a pity that you were smart for a while, and decades of hard work have come to naught! β
Gao Lian was furious when he heard this, and said, "Gongsun Sheng! In the cultivation realm, I have also heard your name, and I know that you have some ability to refine the red dust. But if you want to deceive people with this, you have miscalculated, do you have the fruit of the Tao, and I have no supernatural powers? You keep saying what is right, but it is funny! In today's world, loyalty and goodness are ruined, treacherous people are rampant, the righteous path should be destroyed, and the devil's path should be prosperous! I was born cheaply, it is to follow the trend, even if you have the way, if you want to go against the trend, isn't it a mantis arm blocking the car, self-seeking boring? If you listen to my kind words and persuasion, leave here quickly, and go back to the mountains to cultivate, it will be your cheapest - if you still dare to be wordy, I will turn your face and make it difficult for you to complete the moon! β
Gongsun Sheng listened to daxiao: "Gao Lian, how much Taoism do you have, and you dare to talk about the general trend of the world?" Today, you have to see what you have to make the poor road month difficult to complete! β
If two cultivators disagree, they must show their own magical powers. This is exactly what it is:
Since ancient times, good and evil have been divided, and now the devil is determined to win or lose. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
