Chapter 7 Strategizing and Clearing
On Huangmen Mountain, when Ximen Qing woke up, there was a crescent moon in the night sky. Ximenqing didn't stop, and woke everyone up at the moment to discuss the matter of rushing overnight.
Facing the four heroes of Huangmen Mountain, Ximen Qing made a salute and said: "The four elder brothers don't blame Ximen Qing for being anxious, now Brother Gongming is in trouble, the younger brother is not able to eat, he can't sleep, he can't say it, and he has to work hard for everyone." When Brother Gongming is rescued, the younger brother personally holds the wine pot and gives the four brothers a farewell! ”
The four heroes of Huangmen Mountain didn't even dare to say it, everyone looked at each other, and sighed in their hearts, and they all said that the righteousness of the three strange sons came first, and the brothers were the most affectionate. In the past, I was only skeptical, but when I saw it today, I realized that it was indeed worthy of its name. In order to save the tiger heroes, he repaid his grievances with virtue, poured 100,000 yuan of family wealth, and traveled thousands of miles to Tokyo; Today, for the sake of Yuncheng and the life of the rain, he wore the stars and the moon, braved the heat and the cold, and was afraid that he would be a little late - such a heroic figure, there is really only one person in the world!
At that moment, Ou Peng respectfully helped Ximen Qing to sit down on the tiger skin chair in the Huangmen Mountain Gathering Hall, and said angrily: "Yesterday, the brothers have already said, from now on, listen to Brother Siquan's order!" As soon as the man said, he whipped the horse, and today he asked his brother to give an order, and the brothers went to the soup without frowning! ”
Ximen Qing bowed his hands and said, "It's urgent!" I don't care about anything that will not suppress the reputation of the Lord, brothers, forgive me for the sin of messing around! ”
Before the words fell, everyone in the hall and the hall shouted in unison, expressing their willingness to listen to the command. Ximen Qing said: "Little brother is bold, I want to ask Jiang Jing and Tao Zongwang to ride lightly, be my guide, and take a shortcut to Jiangzhou." ”
Ou Peng and Ma Lin were anxious when they heard this, so they came out and said: "Brother Siquan, the younger brothers also have the heart to serve, why don't you wait for me?" ”
Ximenqing said with a smile: "The two elder brothers don't know anything. In order to save Brother Gongming, I Liangshan dispatched many large and small leaders, and I, Ximenqing, am just a pioneer. In order not to attract the attention of the government, everyone walked in teams, and on the mountain road of Huangmen Mountain, there must be a lot of excitement in these days! Therefore, the younger brother wants to ask Ou Peng and Ma Lin to pick up my brother Liangshan here, and then send the little minions as a guide to lead them to Jieyang Town, Jiangzhou. ”
Jiang Jing groaned: "I and other brothers, and Liangshan friends are all meeting for the first time, and I want to ask Brother Ximenqing to leave any tokens, so as not to have a misunderstanding, but it is not beautiful!" ”
Ximenqing nodded and said, "Brother Jiang Jing is worthy of being a god operator, and he thinks about everything thoughtfully. Just now I have written a text message, and then left my double knife as a record, my brothers Liangshan have seen it, and there is no reason not to believe it! ”
After thinking about it, he said: "Among my brothers in Liangshan, there are many people with hot tempers, who rushed to the road overnight to save Brother Gongming, but I am afraid that everyone will hold countless bird gas in their stomachs. If some of them have any eyebrows and low eyebrows during the meeting, I hope that Ou Peng and Brother Ma Lin will look at the face of the younger brother, forgive them, and when Brother Gongming is rescued, the younger brother will take them to bear the blame for the wronged brothers! ”
As he spoke, Ximen Qing left his seat and bowed to the four leaders of Huangmen Mountain first.
Ou Peng and the others hurriedly grabbed and held on, and they all said: "Brother Ximenqing has killed us!" Since there is such an order, in the coming day, the brothers in Guishan will spit in our faces under the recklessness of the brothers, and it will be just a spit on their own hands! Although my brother can rest assured, he will never be able to rescue Song Gongming! ”
Ximen Qing was overjoyed and said: "In this case, the little brother has nothing to worry about, so he will leave!" ”
At the moment, Ximenqing took Jiao Ting, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Chen Xiaofei, with Jiang Jing and Tao Zongwang as guides, and went to Jiangzhou to take a shortcut.
Ou Peng said: "Third brother, the eldest husband is alive, and it is better to be able to work with people like Brother Siquan for a day than to be with such mediocre people for a hundred years!" Today, Brother Siquan has handed over such important matters to our brothers, if we do it badly, will we still have the face to walk in the green forest in the future? ”
Ma Lin also said: "What the eldest brother said is true! These days, my little brother lives on the road at the foot of the mountain! If you miss Liangshan's friends and ride alone, the younger brother will not have the face to see Brother Siquan, so he will be wiped to death! ”
Ou Peng nodded heavily and said, "That's exactly what you said!" ”
The two of them were ruthless, brought Ximenqing's letter and double knives, and ordered the little minions to set up a tent on the road, and waited with wide eyes to answer the Liangshan people, not to mention.
Speaking of Ximenqing and his entourage, under the leadership of Jiang Jing and Tao Zongwang, they took a shortcut to Jiangzhou, went all the way to the dust, and arrived under a high ridge early. Jiang Jing said: "Okay! After this Jieyang Ridge, it is the Xunyang River, but it is a waterway to Jiangzhou, and it is not far away! ”
Ximen Qing said: "I just hope that we are not too late to come, and we will not miss the lives of Brother Gongming and Dean Dai!" ”
Tao Zongwang said: "Since ancient times, it has been said that Ji people have their own heaven to help each other. There are auspicious people like Brother Ximenqing, if God doesn't help him, then is there any reason for heaven? Brother Ximen Qing and relax! Everyone smiled and crossed the ridge together.
After walking for a long time, when I ran to the foot of the ridge, I saw the wine flag in the green shadow, and the corner of the thatched eaves of the grass house was faintly exposed. Everyone rushed for half a day's journey, just when they were hungry and thirsty, they were all happy to see the hotel, and then they patted their horses to take a look, but they saw that the small hotel was backed by a cliff, the door was next to a strange tree, and there were grass houses in front of and behind - the most frustrating thing was that the hotel door was locked, and the weeds in front of the door were growing, and I don't know how many days it had been closed!
Ximenqing thought secretly in his heart: "This hotel should be the urging judge Li Li to be in charge, but I don't know where this Li Li has gone?" ”
Jiang Jing brushed the sweat on his head and said: "Dozens of miles ahead, is Jieyang Town, but it is a densely populated and prosperous place, everyone take a break from hard work, and if you have a few more distances, let's go to Jieyang Town to rest!" ”
Everyone responded to a sound, urged the horse to gallop, dozens of miles in a flash, found a big inn, only said that it was the guests of the northland horse sellers, first to hit the sharp, and there were still everyone to arrive, so they chartered a large cross courtyard, ate and drank enough to wash, and first sleep peacefully.
After resting his spirit, Ximen Qing gathered Jiao Ting, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Chen Xiaofei, Jiang Jing, and Tao Zongwang to discuss matters in the house.
Ximen Qing said: "When I was in Liangshan, I had already discussed with the brothers, and I wanted to meet in this Jieyang Town, and the current priorities were to prepare for the arrival of the brothers of Liangshan and Huangmen Mountain; the second is to investigate the safety of Brother Gongming and Brother Dai Zong in Jiangzhou City; If the Ji people have their own heaven to help each other, the lives of the two elder brothers are fine, and the third is to prepare a big ship and arrange for a robbery and anti-prison. At that time, this sailor needed to be meticulous, and if he didn't use it, he was afraid that he would miss a big thing! ”
Jiao Ting said: "Third brother, as long as the leader of our Liangshan Sanruan is here, plus those students in the martial arts hall are all accustomed to boats, what is this little Xunyang River?" Isn't the third brother too worried? ”
Guo Sheng said: "Big brother is not too worried. On the Xunyang River, the geography and hydrology of this day are different from our Liangshan, no matter how great the water skills of the Ruan Sanxiong are, when they arrive in this strange place, I am afraid that they still have to send a few dizziness first! That's why the eldest brother said that he should carefully care for the sailors who are familiar with the local hydrology and geography, but this is not stubborn! ”
Lu Fang nodded and praised: "That's right." When the troops are in battle, the geography and water are uncertain, and they will inevitably lose cleanly. The eldest brother is not too worried, but thinks long-term. ”
Jiao Ting heard this, and said ashamedly: "Alas, I'm a rough man, and I went to the martial arts hall in vain, and I don't know when I can catch up with the two instructor brothers!" ”
Everyone laughed, but Jiang Jing, who was watching from the sidelines, thought secretly: "No wonder Liangshan is famous, and generals like Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, where can they usually get a cottage?" ”
At this time, Chen Xiaofei entered the room and hugged his fists and said, "A few brothers, the younger brother has already inquired and understood." It turns out that there are two brothers in this Jieyang town, both of whom are great heroes - the elder brother is called Mu Hong, and the younger brother is called Mu Chun. Since we have come to this town as a horse seller, if we don't pay a visit to them, I'm afraid that we will show our flaws. ”
Jiang Jing listened and nodded secretly: "Brother Siquan's subordinates are really good talents, this Chen Xiaofei is just a light achievement, the most rare thing is to have such a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he is so thoughtful." ”
immediately got up and arched his hand: "Brother Siquan, the younger brother also heard that there are three tyrants in this Jiangzhou - up and down Jieyang Ridge, it is Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, and Li Liyi, the judge who urged the order; In Jieyang Town, Mu Hong and Mu Chun were not blocked; On the Xunyang River, it is the two brothers Zhang Heng and Lang Li Bai Jump Zhang Shun who dominate - inside and outside this Jiangzhou, they are private businessmen, illegal salt, and fish in the black market, all headed by these six people, and among them, Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, is the most proficient! ”
When Ximen Qing heard this, he nodded and smiled: "I'm worried that I have no place to find a trustworthy sailor, and Brother Xiaofei's words inspired my thinking." Since the Mu family brothers are also friends in the Tao, let's go to the door to pay a visit. The three tyrants in Jiangzhou, I have also heard of them on weekdays, and I happened to meet them today to see if they are all responsible heroes as rumored! He stood up as he spoke.
Everyone in the room stood up with Ximenqing. Chen Xiaofei said: "In this case, the younger brother will go to procure all kinds of water gifts, so as not to lose the number of courtesies." ”
Ximenqing heard it but said with a smile: "Brother Xiaofei is slow. If you see you according to the week, then where will the brothers and sons of the Mu family look at us horse dealers? Maybe just send a butler out and send our brother away, but not miss the big thing? Let's wait for my brother to make a little trick, discipline the Mu family brothers to be taken aback first, and then dare not underestimate our brothers! "This is exactly what it is:
Move mountains and catch the moon to impress the people who turn the river and the sea. But I didn't know that Ximen Qingji would be set up, and listen to the next decomposition.
