Chapter Seventy-Nine: Another Year of Triumph
Song Jiang was supposed to be captured by Wang Xiaohu, Li Kui and others, and after the fierce gods and evil were exhausted, he would be a good person. Who knew that a Ximen Qing was killed halfway, and Song Jiang secretly shouted: "Bitter!" This guy is doing bad things for me again! ”
But I saw Ximen Qing Pegasus coming to the front of the battle, and a group of Liangshan heroes followed closely, among which Lu Fang Guo Sheng was holding a bow and arrow, people were like tigers, horses were like dragons, and they were majestic.
Ximen Qing was condescending, pointed at the tip of Wang Xiaohu's nose with a horse whip and scolded loudly: "Zhujiazhuang violated the covenant and wantonly annexed the salt road, and I, Liangshan, have only now hanged the people for the crime of fighting and getting rid of the stubborn - who knows that until now, it has become the abyss of your maiden and plunder!" Our Liangshan's good reputation is ruined in the hands of dogs like you! ”
Wang Xiaohu was embarrassed in front of thousands of troops, and he wanted to be unconvinced, but when he saw that everyone behind Ximenqing was pressing their weapons, he felt empty: "Today they bully more and less, and Lao Tzu is a good man who does not suffer the loss in front of him." A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! ”
Ximen Qing reprimanded Wang Xiaohu, the two armies were silent in front of the formation, and Song Jiang's heart was like a thorn, so he glanced around.
Hua Rong, Li Jun and the others hesitated, and Dai Zong had no choice but to come out and say: "Brother Siquan is angry!" Hujiazhuang closed the door and did not fight, we had no choice but to make a radical method, wanting to scold them out, Wang Ying brother was a little lighter in his tongue, in fact, where was his original intention? With Brother Gongming here, how can he be so useless? ”
Ximen Qing sneered, ignored Dai Zong, Pegasus came to the downstairs of Hujiazhuang and shouted, "Please speak to Taigong Hu!" ”
Hu Cheng stepped forward: "My father can't stand the horror in front of the two armies, and now my Flying Tiger is in charge here-Sanqi Gongzi has something to say!" ”
Ximen Qing said: "Zhujiazhuang acted against the sky, and Hujiazhuang was just coerced by it, not the original intention. Now that Zhujiazhuang is flat, the clouds will disperse one day, our two families will collect their troops and turn the war into jade silk, what do you think? ”
Hu Sanniang shouted: "Sanqi Gongzi is a promise, I personally can trust it - but this matter is related to my life in Yizhuang, Ximenqing, do you dare to swear in public?" ”
Ximenqing stretched out his hand and pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow, raised it high, and said in a long voice: "Only punish the evil, regardless of coercion, I Liangshan people and horses, will never hurt the grass and trees on the Hujiazhuang, if you violate this oath, teach Ximenqing to have such an arrow!" "At that moment, divide the two hands, break the long arrow into two parts, and throw it into the ground.
The two armies saw that the difference between the two armies was clear, and there was a sudden thunder of joy on the Hujiazhuang.
Ximen Qing turned his horse back to the front of the formation and shouted: "Return to the army!" Song Jiang's men and horses were intimidated by his momentum, and without waiting for Song Jiang's order, they subconsciously followed the sound. Song Jiang was so angry that his heart was dripping blood, but he still put on a smiling face and stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to the Siquan brothers for surrendering without a fight!" Ximen Qing also said a few words to the snake.
When it didn't move, the people of Liangshan retreated cleanly, and the brothers and sisters Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang looked at each other, and they were all relieved. Hu Sanniang jumped off the gatehouse, picked up the two broken arrows broken by Ximenqing, and said in her heart: "These two arrows of benevolence and righteousness, I want to treasure them for a lifetime!" ”
When the people of Liangshan returned to Zhujiazhuang, Song Jiang sat in the middle of the hall and said: "Although the coercion is forgiven, the first evil will be eliminated!" How many brothers have been injured in the war for days, if you don't wash away all the people in Zhujiazhuang, how can you eliminate the hatred in your hearts and mine? ”
When the black whirlwind Li Kui heard this, he jumped up and said, "Brother is right! ”
Luan Tingyu came out and said: "Leader Song Jiang, on this Zhujiazhuang, most of them are good people, renting the land of the Zhu family, eating a bowl of people, being called by others, having to be coerced, and asking the leader of Song Jiang to take a closer look!" ”
Shi Xiu also said: "A few days ago, if there was no mechanism for the old man Zhongli to point out the turning mechanism of the poplar tree, how could there be today?" Although Brother Song Jiang wants to punish the evil, he can't kill such a good person! ”
When Song Jiang heard this, he replied with disgust and joy: "Since there are two virtuous brothers who plead, why should I, Song Gongming, kill more?" ”
Li Kui hung his head and muttered, "But it's a failure!" Song Jiang ordered Shi Xiu to find the old man Zhongli.
After a while, Shi Xiu led the old man here. Song Jiang ordered a bag of gold silk to be rewarded with him, and said: "If it weren't for you, the old man, who had the grace to guide the way, you would have washed your village into a white ground, and there would be no chickens and dogs!" It's because of your family's kindness that you can protect the people of your villages! ”
The old man Zhongli trembled and only bowed, but he was supported by Ximenqing and said: "The old man has a spring and autumn season, and he is exempt from courtesy!" ”
Song Jiang said again: "I have been disturbing the people here for days, and my heart is uneasy. Now break Zhujiazhuang. Except for one harm in your village, all families will give grain and rice and one stone to show people's hearts. As he spoke, he instructed the soldiers to write a notice for the people, and then he didn't mention the bulk grain and rice for the head of the old man Zhongli.
There is a lot of grain stored in Zhujiazhuang, and gold, silver, wealth, cattle, sheep, mules and horses are even more extensive. Song Jiang ordered to set up the carriage and horses, load all the booty into the cart, and go to Liangshan to support it, and ordered the oxen to slaughter the horses and make a celebratory feast to reward the three armies.
At the banquet, Ximen Qing brought Sun Li and others to apologize to Luan Tingyu for the deception. Luan Tingyu had to smile bitterly, and said angrily to Sun Li: "Senior brother, you have done a good job and made me miserable!" Sun Li knelt down and said: "This is all the junior brother's, so please punish the senior brother!" ”
Ximen Qing also hurriedly bowed down and defended Sun Li: "This is not about Sun Li's brother's business, it's all the younger brother's bad idea." If you want to punish the head of Luan, punish me! ”
Seeing that Ximen Qing bowed down, everyone was shocked, Luan Tingyu grabbed out of his seat early, knelt down and hugged each other, and said hurriedly: "Sanqi Gongzi is such a big gift, won't he kill me?" The two formations exchanged troops, doing everything they could, but they were not comparable in ordinary times. Childe's plan is wonderful, Luan Tingyu is convinced! ”
Song Jiang saw it clearly on the side, secretly happy in his heart, and thought: "This Ximen Qing is treacherous to this Luan Tingyu, and the surname Luan may not be really convinced. After today, I will pick it up with words, and Ximenqing has another opponent! ”
In the eyes of a gentleman, everyone can be a gentleman; In the eyes of villains, everyone can be villains. In the future, Song Jiang really secretly instigated Luan Tingyu with rumors, but who knew that Luan Tingyu was a clear-eyed gentleman, and he had already seen through his face, and he was even more contemptuous of him in his heart. This is a later story, not a table.
After Luan Tingyu's matter was revealed, everyone drank happily and became excited. Song Jiang pointed his fingers and said: "To be able to defeat Zhujiazhuang, although I and the Siquan brothers are able to command effectively, and the brothers are fighting bravely, but they also have the power of Li Jiazhuang to fight the sky and Li Ying." How could this person be missing from this celebratory feast today? Hurry up and invite me! ”
The little minions went for a while, and reported dejectedly: "Master Li Zhuang only pushes an arrow wound on his body that has not healed, so he must not come!" ”
Song Jiang squinted his eyes and asked, "Li Yingzong can't come, there is still a heroic butler in his village, called Grimace Du Xing, why can't he see it?" ”
The little minions replied: "Although Steward Du is polite, he doesn't come either. ”
Song Jiang sank his face. There was already a black whirlwind, and Li Kui jumped up: "This thief bird!" Kindly invite him, he will take the big! The last time Brother Song Jiang went to visit him in person, he made a lot of fake salt and vinegar, and pinched a lot of Qiao looks, but he refused to see each other, and taught me to break my belly! Here again today! I'll take a few people, break Lijiazhuang, and come to see my brother! ”
Dai Zong shouted: "Duh! You naughty wickedness! Brother Pei Xuan is not here, so he will teach you to be presumptuous? Still not sitting down for a drink? ”
Li Kui smiled and said: "Presumably that guy is a child who hasn't grown, so I'm afraid of seeing people!" When everyone heard this, most of them laughed, but Yang Xiongshixiu bowed his head and said nothing.
Song Jiang laughed a lot before he said slowly: "This Li Zhuang owner is very high, and he disdains to be with us." But my Song Jiang knows how to repay it, and Li Ying, the eagle of the sky, is kind to me Liangshan, so I, Song Jiang, think of a clever plan, I have to earn him up the mountain! ”
Ximenqing raised his glass and said, "Brother Gongming is drunk!" Li Ying is a rich family member in the end, his family is big, and he is not comparable to the brothers you and I are used to, he didn't dare to come to the banquet, but also to avoid the eyes and ears of the government, not to look down on us. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and the twisted melon is not sweet, I Liangshan has thousands of troops, all of them are voluntarily joined, one more Li Ying is not much, one less Li Ying is a lot, why should Brother Gongming be angry with him? ”
Yang Xiongshi Xiu also got up and said: "Instead of earning Li Daguan to go up the mountain to join the gang, it is better to leave him here, and when the brothers go down the mountain to do work, they also have more places to stay, wouldn't it be good?" I also hope that Brother Song Jiang will think twice. ”
Song Jiang listened, hahadaxiao, and only said: "Drink!" Drink! ”
On the second day, the Liangshan Bo military horse beat the victory drum, palmed the victory gong, sang the triumphant song all the way back to Liangshan, where it passed, the autumn did not commit any crimes, and the surrounding state and county officials were all trembling, and they did not dare to match. When I arrived at the Liangshan Beishan Hotel, Chao Gai brought all the brothers left behind to greet him, and after meeting, Daxiao said: "As soon as the Siquan brothers came out, they really won the victory, and they were successful, and they were just in time to call the brothers to have a reunion year!" ”
When Song Jiang heard this, his heart suddenly became useless. Wu Yong shook the folding fan and said with a cold sneer: "Brother Gongming's benevolence and righteousness, and the Siquan brothers have good strategies, and under the complementarity of each other, they are invincible and invincible, so that's it, how can he be there?" Now that Zhujiazhuang is broken, the cottage has gained a lot of money and food, and it is being celebrated. ”
Wu Huaisha, the old leader of the Haisha faction, has been staying in Liangshan, and at this time he also stepped forward to congratulate him: "Relying on the righteousness of Liangshan, I have leveled the strong gangsters in Zhujiazhuang, and our brothers who eat salt and rice can also have a good New Year with peace of mind!" ”
In a group of joy, everyone went up the mountain together and had a celebratory feast. On the second day, Wu Huaisha resigned from Liangshan and returned to Qingzhou. Zhujiazhuang is peaceful, Liangshan does not interfere in the sale of private salt, the brothers on the road who eat this line of food have made a fortune, and how many things are waiting for Wu Huaisha to go back to deal with. Of course, Liangshanbo also rose with the tide, not only reaping the benefits of water transportation, but also gaining a good reputation for righteousness.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived. On the first day, all the heroes gathered in the righteous hall to say hello to each other, and then they rushed around to worship the festival. Ximenqing socialized at home for a day, and when the evening stopped, he couldn't help but think: "It's another year!" I am twenty-nine years old this year, and I am one step closer to the limit of 33 years old! Will my life change? "This is exactly what it is:
Good and evil meet each other, and life and death are intertwined. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
