Chapter Twenty-Four: Wisdom Pulls the Heartstrings

Ximen Qing sat on the fifth golden chair, Liu Tang sat in the sixth place, and the three heroes of the Ruan family sat in the seventh, eighth, and nine positions respectively, which were all expected by everyone and there was no doubt about it. But who should sit in the tenth place?

Lin Chong stood up and arched his hand: "Brothers, listen to what Lin said." This time Qinghe collected grain, and I, Lin Chong, found several good talents. As he spoke, he pointed to Lu Fang Guo Sheng and continued, "The two brothers Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, martial arts do not need to be said to be extremely haode, and the most rare thing is that both of them have studied the book of war, and they have experience in attacking, defending, and defending ambush battle formations. Lin Chong recommended the two brothers Lu and Guo to sit in the tenth and eleventh places, and they will definitely be able to magnify our Liangshan military might! ”

The heroes first believed in Lin Chong's vision, and secondly, they knew that Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were Ximen Qing's sworn brothers, and this face was to be sold, so they all nodded, and Lu Fang Guo Sheng sat on the tenth and eleventh golden chairs under the shoulders of the three heroes of the Ruan family.

Ximen Qing encouraged Lu Fang and Guo Sheng a few words, and then said: "The next seat, but we Liangshan old people want to sit down!" Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui, the three elder brothers, single-handedly created Liangshan Dazhai and laid the cornerstone of our brothers' gathering of righteousness today. ”

Chao Gai everyone nodded: "Brother Ximenqing is right!" ”

After Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui sat down thankfully, Jiao Ting sat in the fifteenth place, and it is said that the sixteenth place must be sat by Bai Sheng, but Ximenqing said loudly: "Brothers, I, Ximenqing, am going to be virtuous today!" As he spoke, he pulled Chen Xiaofei over with one hand.

Chen Xiaofei had been standing behind Ximen Qing to watch the excitement, but he was suddenly pulled into the public by him, and he seemed at a loss for a while.

Ximen Qing took Chen Xiaofei's hand and said loudly: "Today, I want to introduce a righteous and good man to all the brothers!" As he spoke, he told him how Chen Xiaofei visited the Governor's Mansion at night, how he was beaten by Jiang Menshen and was injured internally, and how he cut his arms and drained blood to deliver letters at night, and the heroes of Liangshan were all moved.

After finishing speaking, Ximenqing's eyes swept around the Juyi Hall, and said loudly: "Brothers, Brother Chen Xiaofei's awe-inspiring and righteous body, can he still sit on the sixteenth golden chair?" ”

The brothers roared and cheered: "Sit down!" Sit down! ”

Chen Xiaofei's face was flushed, and he said coyly: "The elder brothers of all families spare the younger brother!" The little brother is just a little snitch, the pheasant has no song (name) straw shoes and no number, where is the qualification to sit on our Liangshan golden chair? Not the son of man! Not the son of man! ”

Chao Gai daxiao said: "Brother Chen Xiaofei, don't be too humble! If a righteous man like you can't sit on the chair of our Liangshan, who else deserves to sit on it? ”

Ximen Qing also smiled: "Brother Xiaofei, don't say that you have no ability. I heard Zhang Qing say when I was on the cross slope, you have a beautiful name called 'Twelve Beacon Smoke', right? ”

The heroes in the Juyi Hall were curious when they heard this, and they all asked: "What does Brother Chen Xiaofei mean by the 'Twelve Beacon Smoke'?" ”

Ximen Qing said: "At the beginning of the gathering of heroes in the green forest on Henan Road, everyone gambled on wine and competed for whose light skills were the first. In one day, from early morning to sunset, they stole twelve corrupt officials and local tyrants and shoddy gentry in one go. The heroes on Henan Road were convinced, so they gave him the nickname of 'Twelve Beacon Smoke'. In the future, if there is someone like Chen Xiaofei's brother to preside over our Liangshan military intelligence reconnaissance, are you still afraid that you will miss a major event? ”

All the heroes applauded when they heard this, and Wu Yong smiled and said: "Brother Chen Xiaofei still has such a ability!" After today, Brother Xiaofei will train a group of capable horses for us Liangshan, and the responsibility of the eyes and ears of the cottage is none other than you! ”

Under the difficulty of graciousness, Chen Xiaofei had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in the sixteenth place.

After Chen Xiaofei, it was Bai Sheng. Since then, a total of 17 leaders have sat down. After the seating was agreed, a feast was held in the Juyi Hall, and the heroes cheered and celebrated, and ate a feast for several days.

During this period, naturally Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi brought a group of gambling brothers to find Ximen Qing to put it right, and everyone shook it. Ximen Qingqi said: "Isn't this dice? How did it become a dump again? ”

The brothers said, "Throwing out the dice is not throwing the dice into the ball?" Ximen Qing was stunned.

Since this is the case, Ximenqing was not polite, so he threw it up. He has practiced money darts, the strength of his fingers is accurate, only a few bets, and he found the feeling, ten is to win seven or eight, the winning surface is also extremely high, and with the practice of the technique, the odds of winning are getting higher and higher, betting to zuihou, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi lost with blue faces and white lips, and couldn't wait to roll in the ground.

After this battle, the gambling ghost of Liangshan changed color when he heard Ximen Qing, and he no longer dared to provoke easily. Ximenqing had to sigh: "Alas! This is invincible loneliness! ”

Under loneliness, he had to seek comfort in the arms of the beauty. Holding Yueniang and looking at the scenery of Liangshan, Ximenqing couldn't help but ask: "Yueniang, do you regret it?" ”

Yueniang pillowed her head on his shoulder and asked softly, "What do you regret?" ”

Ximen Qing said: "I regret marrying such a thief as me!" ”

Yueniang shook his hand and said slowly: "I said it earlier!" Where you are, I will go. ”

Ximen Qing exhaled and hugged her tightly, although the weather was cold, but his heart was warm.

Although the rare love between children lasted for a few days, Ximenqing did not miss the big event at all. Chen Xiaofei selected a group of smart and capable minions from Liangshan's minions, dressed up as all kinds of people, etc., and went around to listen to the news.

Ximenqing took people to the county town at the foot of Liangshan again, and ordered the post station there to copy one more copy of the newspaper every day and send it to Liangshan.

Searching around, Ximenqing raised carrier pigeons again, but then he found that the sky of the Great Song Dynasty is really not suitable for the development of carrier pigeons, there are harrier eagles everywhere, and the pigeons are still full when they are released every morning, and when they come back at night, they are losing their troops, Ximenqing shook his head, it seems that the carrier pigeon is thousands of miles away, it is really unrealistic.

One day, Ximen Qing was feeding pigeons with Yueniang, and suddenly Ju An came to report, saying that Chao Tianwang was invited, Ximen Qing hurried to the Juyi Hall to take a look, but saw Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng sitting in the hall, all with sad faces.

Ximen Qingjin entered the hall, everyone sat down, and Chao Gai told him about the dilemma he was facing. It turned out that Liangshan Dazhai since the addition of grain and grass, the people who came did not refuse to recruit troops and buy horses, as a result, sitting under the empty mountain, the food could not make ends meet, Wu used to take precautions, but it was so worried. This is exactly what it is:

Since ancient times, the only way to save the car has been to save the car, and the number of poisons has never been counted and the food has been starved. But I don't know how Ximenqing will resolve the dilemma, and listen to the next decomposition.
