When leaving the Daimyo's Mansion, Lu Junyi sent Yan Qing to secretly send a thousand yuan to the little second brother of Cuiyun Building, and then sighed: "In addition to eating and drinking at public expense, there is finally a banquet in the world for a table of 1,000 yuan!" ”

After coming to the Liangshan military camp today, he found that although Ximen Qing was very respectful to himself, the banquet for his party was very simple, which was very different from the bandit style of dividing gold and silver with large scales and eating wine and meat in large bowls in his impression.

Ximenqing raised his glass and said apologetically: "Everything in the army is simple, the generals and sergeants drink and eat together, we don't think it's bitter, but today we are snubbing Lu Yuanwai!" ”

Lu Junyi replied politely: "How dare you!" Lu Mou saved his life by the son of Sanqi and got rid of the cage of the Daimyo's Mansion, which is already a great luck, if he still dares to pursue poverty and luxury in his mouth, is he not afraid of being punished by the sky? ”

said politely, but in his heart he sighed: "Liangshan governs the army very strictly, and the generals who lead the troops can share weal and woe with the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness must be extremely strong." No wonder the Hebei people and horses trained by Liang Zhongshu will be defeated by Liang Shan, when 8,000 Liangshan people and horses came to the city, the 25,000 officers and soldiers in the city did not dare to move a little, it is no accident! ”

Suddenly thinking of something, I couldn't help but gloat a little: "Liang Zhongshu and Cai's mother-in-law are now trapped in the hands of Liangshan heroes, but there is no exquisite and neat diet in the Liangshan army, Liang Zhongshu is just fine, Cai's mother-in-law has always been pampered, and she can't stand the slightest grievance under the flying and domineering, and the days of these days must be like years, and it is very difficult!" ”

Ximenqing here is secretly surprised by his own simplicity because of his own ugliness: "In the Water Margin, Li Gujia is a pair of adulterers and evil women, and the adultery of the two people was exposed through Yan Qing's mouth, and Zuihou was slaughtered by Lu Junyi - I don't know what their fate will be after today?" ”

Other Liangshan heroes also showed favor to Lu Junyi. First, everyone is looking at Ximenqing's face, secondly, the name of "Shanxi Ximenqing, Hebei Jade Qilin" is too loud, and thirdly, everyone has seen Yan Qing's skills, and the apprentice is already like this, not to mention the master? Therefore, Liang Shan treated Lu Junyi very sincerely.

On the banquet, Ximen Qing struck while the iron was hot and said to Lu Junyi: "The world is not quiet, corruption is rampant, Lu Yuanwai is a good citizen like him, he is in prison, and traitors like Cai Jing's father and daughter are very arrogant!" I waited for the brothers in Liangshan to be talented, erected the banner of Tianxingdao, did not avoid the axe, and thought of eliminating harm for the world! If Lu Yuanwai does not despise each other today, please go to Liangshan to sit on the top spot, Liangshan has such a great talent as a foreign member, and he will definitely be like a tiger with wings! At that time, the staff shook their majesty, and let this decadent dynasty know the real ability of Hebei Jade Qilin! ”

The heroes in the audience listened and applauded. Who knew that Lu Junyi thanked him and said: "Although it is the son of Sanqi who carries love, but Lu has experienced this turmoil, he has become a frightened bird, and he is disheartened, and he only thinks about seclusion from then on, and he no longer wants to ask about the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes - Liangshan Ximenqing is not a person who is favored by the city, so Lu Moufang dares to speak freely, and the leader of Ximen is strange!" ”

Hearing Lu Junyi's sharp words, all the heroes refused Ximenqing's invitation without sparing, and they were all angry in their hearts, and they all focused their eyes on Ximenqing's face. As long as Ximenqing's face sank, everyone was ready to make a move - in front of the heroes of Liangshan, how many people could the Hebei Jade Qilin bluff?

Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, although Lu Junyi's refusal made him feel disappointed, but he was different from Wu Yong - Wu Yong is a bandit in his bones, he doesn't pay attention to things, whether you want to or not, first you will go up the mountain and then draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, so you can't help it; However, Ximenqing knows that the twisted melon is not sweet, and the people who were forced to go to Liangshan by the government and those who were forced to go to Liangshan by Liangshan have an essential difference in their enthusiasm to do things, especially for outstanding people like Lu Junyi, Ximenqing hopes to treat them with sincerity rather than coercion with force.

So Ximenqing just sighed, raised his glass and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, how can they force it?" It's just a pity that Lu Yuanwai is a masterful artist, but he wants to raise spring stones for self-entertainment, but he can't save the people of the world! ”

Lu Junyi listened to Ximen Qing's reasonableness, and his words were so polite, he couldn't help but secretly admire: "It is said that the righteous son of Sanqi is Bo Yuntian, and it is indeed worthy of his name." If I change to another person, I will inevitably say that I have forgotten the grace of saving my life and am a negative person. These three strange sons Ximen Qing are magnificent, and they are really the leading figures of the leaders! ”

Seeing that everyone in the military tent was a little cold, Yan Qing hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi made an oath to heaven at the beginning - if all the righteous people can help Xiao Yi rescue his master, Xiao Yi is willing to repay him with a grass title!" Today's master has escaped, Xiao Yi naturally wants to repay Liangshan, from then on, Ximen Qing's brother has orders, Xiao Yi went to the soup and fire, and he did not hesitate! ”

Lu Junyi listened silently and bowed his head silently. Although Yan Qing had told him about this matter before, he really didn't want Yan Qing, who was like father and son, to have a relationship with Liang Shan. Yes, Ximen Qing saved him, but gratitude and revenge are two different things-it's a pity, a good man in the rivers and lakes, the most particular is the word "letter", since Yan Qing has made an oath to the sky, then he can't help but fulfill his oath, no matter how unwilling Lu Junyi is, he can only watch and can't stop it.

After listening to Yan Qing's words, Ximen was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Wonderful! With the Yanqing brothers willing to follow the righteousness, Liangshan's momentum is even greater! But he thought in his heart: "Since Yanqing is here, can Lu Junyi still run?" ”

Who knew that Yan Qing said: "Ximen is a big official and is not called Miao - although Xiao Yi is willing to work for a big official, there are two conditions!" ”

Ximen Qing said angrily: "Brother Yanqing is willing to gather together, which is the blessing of Liangshan, Hugh said that there are only two conditions, that is, twenty and two hundred, and we also agreed!" ”

Yan Qing said: "Even if the Ximen officials say so, we still have to be villains first and then gentlemen, and say ugly things first." The first condition - is that the big officials are overwhelmed by the public and want to fight the daimyo's mansion, and it is the big officials who have used clever tricks to rescue my master, so Xiao Yi went to Liangshan, and only listened to the orders of the three strange sons, and no one can usually detain me! ”

Ximen Qing's face was not embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "What a Lang Zi Yanqing!" Sure enough, it's chic and uninhibited, depending on you! ”

Yan Qing said again: "The second condition - Xiao Yi went to Liangshan this time, just to repay the master's kindness, if he makes a great contribution and makes up for the kindness of the Ximen officials, the villain will retire and return to the master's side, but the big officials will not be able to stay difficult for me at that time!" ”

When everyone heard this, this is good, we have a kite on Liangshan, and as soon as the line is broken, he will fly. When he looked at Ximen Qing, he saw him nodding again and again, but said, "Just Brother Yanqing!" ”

Ximenqing is confident that his sincerity will be able to change his sincerity, and he is not afraid that the cooked duck will fly, so he agreed happily. After making a decision, he asked Lu Junyi: "May I ask Lu Yuanwai, the Yanqing brothers are willing to stay in Liangshan, but where do they go to seclusion?" ”

Lu Junyi sighed and said: "The traitor is in charge, the world is as black as a crow, where is there a pure land to live in?" and Xiao Yi thought about it, but there is a Shouzhang County at the foot of Liangshan, and there is an old man in the county, Lu wants to go to live next to him, so he is incognito, which is exactly what he wants! ”

Ximenqing was curious when he heard this, and asked, "But I don't know which sage can enter the blue eyes of the jade unicorn in Hebei?" ”

Lu Junyi raised his glass and said loudly: "This gentleman is from Dongping Mansion, and his surname is Ma Ming!" ”

Ximen Qing lost his voice and said: "When is the horse stretching the horse? Isn't it first for Chengdu Pixian Cheng, and then as Xijing Fa Cao, where there are political voices, and then ten Gu thatched cottages, go to Cheng Yi to study, and now resign from the official to live in seclusion in Shouzhang County, Mr. Ma Shenma? ”

Lu Junyi nodded and said, "It turns out that the son of Sanqi also knows the name of my friend. ”

Ximen Qing sighed: "I have a fate in the lower division, it is the champion of Xinmao Ke Lang Jiangnan, and the mentor of Jiangnan is Mr. Ma Shen." Mr. Ma's deeds, when I heard about it, I sighed with emotion, I will yearn for it, I regret that Mr. Ma is high-spirited, and I regard Liangshan as nothing. ”

This Ma Shenma Shizhong, ten years older than Ximen Qing, was a jinshi in the fourth year of Shaosheng (1097). He is honest and talented, he doesn't like to run around, and every time he is transferred to an official position, he never chooses a convenient place. When he was the county governor of Pixian County, Chengdu, the county guard entrusted him to collect Chengdu's taxes. In the past, the people who collected taxes were tempted by the bribes of beautiful women and played perfunctory, but Ma Shen completely put an end to these drawbacks. The people scrambled to be the first to pay the taxes, so that some slept on the roads and waited for the dawn. Changping envoy Sun Qian traveled in the morning and asked them strangely, and the people were happy to say, this year is Ma County's acceptance of rent, and we are blessed to get out of trouble! So Sun Qian recommended Ma Shen to the imperial court.

In the early years of Chongning, Fan Zhixu, a powerful Zhongshu scholar, attacked Cheng Yi's doctrine as a heresy, and went down to Henan Mansion to chase Chengmen's disciples. Ma Shen was an official in Xijing at the time, and after hearing about this incident, he "committed a case against the wind" and wanted to study under Cheng Yimen. Cheng Yi didn't want to be involved with others, Ma Shen looked at the thatched house, but Cheng Yi didn't agree. Later, Ma Shen was ready to resign from the government to study in order to show his determination to study, but Cheng Yi was finally moved and accepted him. Since then, Ma Shen has been teaching in Chengyimen every day, rain or shine, and others have not heard about it, and finally learned the essence of "The Mean" and returned.

Ma Shen is pure in talent, has a reason for learning, has the courage to be righteous, and has a profound meaning, and is ashamed of his own name. When I was an official, I would sit up every morning, read "The Mean", and then start to get busy with business. Later, seeing that the officialdom was getting darker and darker, and the world was in chaos, Ma Shen was angry and secluded, and self-motivated said: "I am determined to do the way." If you take wealth as your heart, you will be burdened by wealth; If you think of your wife, you will be taken away by your wife, and the way is not feasible. He also said: "Confucius said: 'A man with a lofty spirit does not forget to be in the ravine, and a warrior does not forget to lose his yuan.'" 'Today and day the ravine is the place where I die. ”

Such a righteous and upright Geng Jie has talent and can apply what he has learned, Ximen Qing has always admired. It's a pity that Mr. Ma's eyes are high, and he can't look down on thieves like him.

replaced Li Kui, and cut down this birdman a long time ago; If you change Wu Yong, you will inevitably use tricks. But Ximenqing deeply respects this wild sage, and he has never lacked courtesy.

Today, when he heard that Lu Junyi had an old relationship with Mr. Ma Shenma, Ximen Qing was really surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but secretly rub his hands: "Lu Junyi, Ma Shizhong, you don't want to be high, one day, I want you all to jump into my Ximen Qing's bowl!" "This is exactly what it is:

Since ancient times, corrupt officials like corrupt officials, and they have always been good men and virtuous people. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
