After learning his fate from Luo Zhenren, Ximenqing had no waves on the surface, but in fact, he was terrified in his heart.

These days, he has thought a lot, what he has been thinking, no one knows, only Yueniang, who is his bedside, found that his husband's eyes suddenly became much deeper. She knew that he must have changed again, like a carp that had jumped over the dragon gate, the heavenly fire burned his worried tail and turned him into a real flying dragon - but no matter how Ximenqing changed, he was still her husband.

Yueniang hopes that she can help him, but she knows that the only thing a woman can do in this man-dominated shijie is to comfort him with her own tenderness, brush away the dirt on his clothes, and the fatigue on his heart.

But today, Yueniang suddenly found that she could do more. Because Ximen Qing smiled and said to her, "Yueniang, you have to do me a favor." ”

Yueniang was stunned and asked, "What do you help?" How can it help? ”

"I want you like this, like this." Ximenqing said and took out a roll of paper full of words and pointed to it. The more Yueniang listened, the more shocked she became, and hesitated: "Official, can I do it?" ”

There was nine points of surprise in the tone of the daughter's family, but there was also a faint excitement.

Ximenqing held her hand: "Yueniang, you can do it!" ”

Just this one sentence, it is enough. Yueniang nodded without hesitation, took the scroll of paper, and went to do it herself.

Ximen Qing was attracted by the information sent by the scouts - Shouzhang County Order, Xinmaoke's champion Lang Jiangnan, sent a secret letter to Liangshan Cottage, although the letter was scribbled but powerful through the back of the paper, and the tone was not at all the quiet and stable style of a scholar.

The letter said that the imperial court had issued an urgent official document, asking the local prefectures and counties to cooperate with the Huyanzhuo Ministry to suppress the bandits, and instructed the people of Liangshan to be careful. The Zuihou letter reads: "...... What this court can't give to the people, Liangshan gives! I just want to see that the people can have such a little hope, so that they feel that they can survive this day, or survive. Therefore, I, the champion, have collaborated with bandits, and I have really leaked the secrets of the imperial court, and I have collaborated with bandits! Haha, am I doing it wrong? Can anyone tell me? ……”

Ximenqing can fully understand the pain of Jiang Zhuangyuan when he wrote the letter. When he came to visit Liangshan when he took office, it may be said that it is a way to protect himself for officials, and today's officials and bandits in the world are nothing; But this time, he risked losing his head to send a letter to the cottage, obviously in his heart he had abandoned the court that he had to be loyal to, and the pain of the collapse of this ideal, Ximenqing had also experienced it in his previous life.

Exhaling softly, Ximen Qingxin said, "Jiang Zhuangyuan, good luck." Although some things crumbled, new houses were built on the rubble. ”

In the days that followed, military reports came one after another, and the encirclement and suppression led by Hu Yanzhuo got closer and closer to Liangshan. The team sent by Ximen Qing to evacuate the people around Liangshan has already returned, and most of them have successfully completed their tasks. But there are also some old residents who are difficult to leave their homeland, and there is no way for these old men and old ladies who are stubborn with their lives, and the minions of Liangshan have no way at all.

Ximenqing can't help it. Fortunately, the Huyan soldiers marched all the way to suppress, but the military discipline was strict, and the autumn did not commit any crimes, and the heroes of Liangshan all looked down on them, but at the same time they were a little excited - the troops with such strict military discipline must have a very good combat effectiveness, and they met in the killing field in the coming day, which was Liangshan's hard opponent.

However, the man never cares about himself, and he laughs at the enemy, and there are 100 battlefields in the enemy, and he is willing to be green with the weeds everywhere. To be able to face to face with the legendary Huyan soldiers, it is what the heroes want!

The knife and gun are good together, and Mo is bitter because of life and death. The man's pride is really like iron, and there is also a fate to meet in the killing field - Liangshan's morale is high. Whether it is the leader or the minions, they all stretch their necks and look forward to the arrival of the Huyan soldiers.

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally this day the horse flew up the mountain - "Report!" All the leaders, Hu Yanzhuo's front vanguard has arrived in front of the mountain, led by the general Yum General Han Tao! ”

There was a sudden stir in the hall of righteousness. Li Kui was the first to jump up, and the big axe in his left and right hands touched the "dangdang" mountain sound: "Brother Siquan!" The Iron Bull is willing to rush to the front! ”

Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang wanted to give his father-in-law a long face, and hurried out of the queue and said: "Brother Tie Niu! The Huyan soldiers in the vanguard are all cavalry, you are fighting on foot, how can you get close to them? It's better to give this head to the younger brother for the time being! ”

Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming saw that Lin Chong had made meritorious contributions under Gaotang Prefecture, and he was so envious in his heart, he had the opportunity to face the enemy today, where could he hold it? Regardless of the fierce competition between Li Kui and Lu Fangzheng, he took care of himself and said: "Marshal Qiyu, as the saying goes, the first battle wins, the battle wins, in order to ensure everything, please send the last general to fight!" If there is any negligence, be willing to be a military order! ”

Huang Xin of Zhensanshan flashed out early next to him, and Xiangshang bowed and said: "The young general is willing to be the deputy general of General Qin, and make meritorious contributions to the outpost to kill the enemy!" ”

Ximenqing smiled and watched everyone fight for me, not letting each other go, before the roof was blown away by everyone's shouting, gently patted the wake-up wood, "snapped", although the sound was not high, but the hall was silent when it was neutral, everyone turned their heads one by one, and stared at Ximenqing's lips with hope.

But I heard Ximen Qing say lightly: "Huyan soldiers come bravely, their sharpness is flourishing, and the art of war is cloudy: 'Avoid its sharpness, hit its lazy return, and this person who controls qi is also.'" 'And when Han Tao's men and horses lose their sharpness, they will discuss the battle. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but after all, they didn't dare to disobey the marshal's order, so they had to shut down and go to watch the enemy's sentry again.

After a long time, Tanma flew into the hall again: "Report——! All the leaders, Han Tao's men and horses are already tired, and they are retreating ten miles to bury the pot for rice at this time! ”

Li Kui jumped up when he heard this: "Brother Siquan, the cavalry got off the horse, it's not bullshit!" Let the Iron Bull take the little ones over and cut them all down! ”

Ximenqing put down the military book in his hand, but said: "Brother Tieniu, heroes don't meditate." You take advantage of other people's meals to beg for cheapness, even if you win, when it spreads to the rivers and lakes, you will also eat the laughter of all the heroes. Or be patient, wait for these Huyan soldiers to eat and drink enough, and then fight it out in a dignified manner! ”

Everyone in the hall listened and looked at each other, but Li Kui said happily: "What Brother Siquan said is true!" He sat down again with the big axe.

Lin Chong, Wu Yong and other fine people all looked at Ximenqing, but they saw that Ximenqing was sitting on the seat and just flipping through the book, with a flat expression on his face, which seemed unfathomable.

After another half an hour, Li Kui finally couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up and said: "Brother Siquan, it's been a long time, don't say it's rice, it's just a cow, and those guys have eaten it!" Tie Niu asked his brother to give an order, let me go to war! ”

Ximen Qing made a fuss and "sigh", and blamed: "Brother Tieniu, why don't you say anything else, but say that the guy ate a cow?" You are an iron ox, and now the ox has been eaten by the guys, which is much worse than the army. For the sake of safety, there will be no troops today—let's disperse! ”

Everyone listened to it, and they were all incredulous. Seeing that everyone had strange faces, Ximen Qing smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Where is the military and political secretary?" ”

The iron-faced face Pei Xuan responded to the voice: "The subordinates are here!" ”

Ximen Qing said awe-inspiringly: "Brother Pei Xuan, and pass on my general order, if there is a soldier who goes down the mountain without permission, even if he wins, he will be killed!" ”

Pei Xuan shouted: "Order!" Then he turned and withdrew. There are iron-faced eyes watching, which one eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he doesn't dare to go down the mountain without permission.

When he looked at Ximen Qingshi again, he had already put up his military book and transferred to the back hall. The people in the hall were left behind, one by one, Zhang Fei pierced the needle - staring at each other with big eyes.

Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Chai Jin were at the top, and then he pulled Wu Yong's sleeve and asked quietly: "Military Division, what does Ximen Siquan mean by this?" ”

Wu Yong shook his head in astonishment and said, "I don't know. But I don't know ...... Chai officials? ”

Chai Jin smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Mo asked me, what Zhiduoxing doesn't know yet, how can the younger brother figure it out?" ”

Wu Yong sighed: "It's a pity that Brother Chao Gai is not in the hall, otherwise, please ask Brother Chao Gai to ask, Brother Siquan will definitely not be able to refute his face." ”

Song Jiang asked, "Where is Brother Chao Gai?" ”

This Chai Jin was clear, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Chao Gai has been drinking and arguing with Mr. Yiqing, Senior Brother Wuxi, and Xiao Rangxiucai on the Houshan Water Pavilion in the past few days, and the younger brother has also listened to a few words, but he has also benefited a lot. ”

Song Jiang and Wu Yong were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Song Jiang asked: "Brother Chao Gai and Mr. Gongsun Sheng, Master Wuzhi hit it off at first sight, but when did Xiao Xiucai also be pulled in?" ”

Chai Jin smiled: "But they are talking about metaphysics. Mr. Yiqing said that Buddhism is based on emptiness, and if it is enlightened, it will go straight to the other side; Taoism takes refining and cultivation as the truth, and if it is the pivotal point, it will be established as a saint; The Confucian "Zhou Yi" has the solution of exhaustive reason, exhaustion, and fate, and the "Lu Yu" has the saying of no, meaning, must, and solid self, which is the theory that Confucius comprehended the mystery of life. Therefore, Mr. Yiqing concluded that although the religion is divided into three, the Tao is one. ”

Wu Yong couldn't help but fold his palm and applaud: "Mr. Yiqing's words made people suddenly open their mouths!" ”

Song Jiang heard the clouds and mountains and fog, and he didn't know the mystery, but for the sake of his own face, he also nodded with Wu Yong: "Sure enough, it's Mr. Yiqing!" ”

Chai Jin said again: "Senior Brother Wu and Xiao Xiucai, but they are not under Mr. Yiqing. The two of them hold the Buddhist "Treatise on the Middle" and the Confucian "The Mean", sometimes asking each other difficult questions, sometimes confirming each other, witty words, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and the connection and communication between the two schools of Confucianism have subtle views. Brother Chao Gai and the younger brother were all drunk and obsessed when they heard it, if it weren't for Brother Chao Gai who was still worried about the war in front of the mountain, the younger brother would not have come out of this hall to report to God. hahaha......"

If it is to discuss the way of being a official, Song Jiang still has a few points of ink to spill, but when discussing philosophical issues at this time, where can he understand and understand thoroughly? Listening to Chai Jin talk about the battle in front of the mountain, he hurriedly climbed the pole: "Today's battle is related to my luck in Liangshan, Brother Chao Gai, as the owner of the village, still has the heart to talk about the mysteries?" This ......"

Hearing that Song Jiangqian's donkey skills were speechless for a while, Wu Yong immediately supported in a joking tone: "This is the tiger and wolf tun Yu Majesty talking about cause and effect!" ”

I think that at the beginning of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, the rebel general Hou Jing's army had already hit the Jingshi and besieged Taicheng, and he was still talking about karma with the monks, leaving this allusion of "Tiger and Wolf Tun in His Majesty Talking about Cause and Effect". was quoted by Wu Yong today, but it was an irony that when the soldiers were in danger, he turned a blind eye to the business.

Chai Jin is very knowledgeable, and naturally understands the meaning of Wu Yong's unfinished business, and at the moment daxiao said: "Brother Gongming and the military advisor have poor knowledge!" It is precisely because Brother Chao Gai still has the leisure to talk about the Tao when the enemy is in front of him, that he can see that the people of Liangshan are united and regard the invading enemy as nothing! But don't you remember Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who talked and laughed about Husha for you? ”

Xie An was the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the Battle of Weishui, and his nephew Xie Xuan took tens of thousands of horses to cut down hundreds of thousands of horses of the former Qin Fujian, and others were terrified, but he played chess there leisurely, and after the victory of the Battle of Weishui, Xie An's demeanor became a good story for the ages.

Although Song Jiang and Wu Yong blamed Chao Gai for his failure to perform his duties under the banner of Liangshan's luck, the true meaning still alluded to Liangshan's current coach Ximenqing. Although Chai Jin has a good relationship with Song Jiang, Ximenqing is his savior, and secondly, Ximenqing is still a layman disciple of Longtan Temple, and has a close relationship with the Chai family.

Wu Yong didn't want to debate with Chai Jin, Song Jiang didn't have the eloquence to debate with Chai Jin, and was smiling awkwardly, but saw Huarong and Qin Mingxiang coming from the direction of the back hall, and both of them had blank looks on their faces. Song Jiang greeted: "Brother Hua Rongxian, Brother Qin Mingxian, why is this the case?" ”

Hua Rong came over and said: "Brother Siquan's behavior today is quite strange, and there must be a deep meaning in it, so the two of us went to see Brother Siquan to discuss the matter of retreating from the enemy." Who knew that he was all in the way, not to mention that he was the younger brother, even Brother Lin Chong, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng had all eaten the closed-door soup - what kind of medicine was sold in Brother Siquan's gourd? ”

When Chai Jin heard this, he was full of curiosity, got up and said, "Is there such a thing?" But I'm going to go to the Four Springs Gate. ”

Song Jiang Wu Yong also said: "Go together!" ”

Ximenqing was not at home, but hid in the water village in front of the mountain under the pretext of hot weather. Chai Jin was still far away, and he heard the sound of silk and bamboo floating along the sound of water, pure and pleasant, mixed with Ximenqing's cheers: "Sing well!" ”

Everyone looked at each other. When he got on the boat and arrived at the side of the big boat in Deximenqing, there was a small servant who stopped him and did not let him go up. The little servant was full of mourning: "Everyone, you are good, my father has ordered, he is doing something, no one is allowed to disturb, if the little one lets people go, he will engage in the small military law!" The villain only has one head, please have mercy on the poor villain! ”

The tortoise installation is pitiful, and everyone claims to be heroes, of course, they can't embarrass this little guy, so they have to turn around. The boat went ashore, and all the other heroes were on the shore, Chai Jin, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong got off the boat, looked back at the lights on the boat where Ximen Qing was, and everyone muttered in their hearts: "What is Ximen Siquan doing?" How sneaky and mysterious it is? "This is exactly what it is:

The Iron Rider shattered dreams in a row, and the scheming turned the loyal soul. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
