This discussion lasted for a long time.

Fang Qifo and others are not small, and it is inconvenient to take them to Qingzhou for resettlement for the time being, so they all stay in Liangshan.

Lao Cao proposed to let the "Seven Buddhas" Fang Qifo be a deputy village master, Fang Qifo was shocked, waved his hand again and again, claiming that he had not built an inch of work, and he was in a high position, wouldn't it mess up the cottage law.

Chao Gai knew Cao Cao's intentions, and this position was not only given to Fang Qifo, but also to the dignity of the Ming Sect.

What's more, the high martial arts of the Seven Buddhas of Fang, everyone has seen it, and he has also led the army, and he is alone, whether it is the prestige of the rivers and lakes, or a person, it is the choice of the moment, get up at the moment, take the hand of the Seven Buddhas, and sit beside him.

Fang Qifo made the second chair, and he was sincerely grateful, and when Shi Bao and the others saw it, they all smiled, and they had a sense of belonging to the cottage more and more.

and with the "Nanli Divine Knife" Shi Bao, "Xiao Lu Bu" Fang Jie, and "Ghost Shuai" Li Tianyan, they were among the gods, and the original ten gods of Liangshan were added to the thirteen gods.

"Slaughtering Tiger Knife" Si Xingfang, "Xiaoyang Youji" Pang Wanchun, and "Xuanzhou Tiger" Yu Qing are all Xuan generals, in addition to Duan Sanniang went to Qingzhou, it is expected that it will be rare to return to the mountain again, and go to the position of Xuan General, and the vacancy is filled by Liang Hongyu, who is a fifteen Xuan generals.

Jia Yuqing, although he is not obvious, is also a famous man in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise how could he let him take charge of Xuanzhou alone?

"Fatal Xiucai" Tang Fengshi, "Ghost Monk" Wen Kerang, "White Eagle" Bei Yingkui, "Little Impermanence" Li Shao, "Tianmu Xiao" Wei Heng, all five of them are listed as heroes, a total of 30 generals.

"Baoguang Rulai" Deng Yuanjue and "Jiufeng Hunting King" Xiahou Cheng are even better at foot combat, and they are included in the list of Biao generals, and Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon are collectively known as the Seven Biao Generals.

The remaining Taihu Lake Siying is naturally a naval army, and Ruan's three males and Wang Dingliu are the eight generals of the naval army.

As for Wang Yin and Gao Yu, because they want to go to Fusang, they don't sit on the chair, and there are two people, Zu Shiyuan and Lu Jiang, who don't show up much, their reputation is not obvious, and they have the Jin Festival that surrendered earlier, and they have to go to Qingzhou with Lao Cao.

After discussing that everyone went to stay, Lao Cao called Wang De and Yao Pingzhong, the two generals, released the shackles, sat down and drank together, and told him to see the talents in the cottage, and the brothers were heroic.

The two of them sat down in the hall, Yao Pingzhong was a little uneasy, Wang De was completely unrestrained, he drank wine and ate meat, and then tore the meat and stuffed it into Pingzhong's mouth, and said with a smile: "If you don't eat enough to eat the severed head, won't you be sad on the Huangquan Road?" "According to the case, there is no one around.

Everyone saw that he was heroic and good, and they all secretly applauded, and Chao Gai was even more happy: "What a brave general!" Put it among the officers and soldiers, and lose this person in vain. ”

After he ate and drank, Lao Cao personally persuaded: "With your two martial arts, you are enough to sit on the throne of gods, why don't you join the gang together, do a great career together in the future, and also make a name for yourself in history, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Yao Pingzhong was quite moved to see that there were a group of tigers and wolves in his village, and they were all bold and friendly, but Wang De swallowed the wine and meat in his mouth, shook his head proudly and said: "Although I have been wrongly loved, but the Zhao official family has never been sorry for a certain family, as a military general, if it loses, it will have to surrender, how can there be bones at all?" May I behead my head and rest my will. ”

Shi Bao was furious when he heard this, jumped up and said, "In that case, let me slash this guy." ”

Wang De leaned back and said: "Shi Bao, don't see that you have some brave reputation, in the eyes of my Wang De, you are just a local chicken and tile dog." I only hate that I have never been killed on the battlefield, so I am clamoring today! Come, come, the head is here, take it from you! ”

Seeing that he was so brave, everyone became more and more respectful, only Shi Bao, who hated him for killing his friend "Cloud Gun" Wang Ren, could not let go, and really got up to kill him.

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to grab Shi Bao and asked Yao Pingzhong: "Wang De doesn't surrender, what does General Yao say?" ”

Yao Pingzhong looked at Wang De, his face full of embarrassment: "If Yao Mou said that the military power of the imperial court is controlled by Tong Guan, this guy will get power and form a party for personal gain, Yao Mou will not look down on him, and it will not hurt to demote the servants——"

Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's just that he was captured in Bangyuan Cave before, and he was originally rescued, but it was Yao who was greedy for merit and was bent on catching Fang La, so he was trapped again, but Wang De was affected by me, otherwise at this moment, he should be promoted in Bianjing and make a fortune." ”

After that, his eyes gradually moistened, and his voice also carried some crying: "Now that he doesn't descend, how can Yao be willing to live alone?" Die with him. Shi Bao, you killed Wang De, and by the way, you also sent the master on the road, your knife must be sharpened faster, don't let the master suffer more. ”

Wang De glared at him and said, "Little Captain, who in the world doesn't die?" Sooner or later, if the husband dies, he will die, you are so cowardly, but you eat the jokes of the grass for nothing. ”

Yao Pingzhong's two lines of tears finally rolled down his cheeks, his body trembled, and he cried out in a wailing voice: "Am I willing to show my cowardice? Its tears are going to flow at home, what can the master do? Shi Bao, you should kill the master first, and then drag it out, I'm afraid you can't help but beg for mercy. ”

When all the heroes saw him so afraid of death, they couldn't help laughing, but they were stopped by Lao Cao: "Duh! When all of you laugh at him, don't you hear Mencius, 'Life is also what I want, righteousness is also what I want, you can't have both, and you give up your life to take righteousness!'" 'Brother Pingzhong is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is willing to die from his brother and sacrifice his life for righteousness, which is a model for my generation. ”

Zu Shiyuan nodded and said: "Brother Wu is right, he is obviously afraid of death, but for the sake of righteousness, he does not hesitate to seek death, but it is more rare than not fearing death and begging for death." ”

When all the heroes think about it, isn't this the reason? They all stopped laughing.

Yao Pingzhong waved his hand while wiping his tears: "It's too famous, I didn't think it was so much, but I begged Wang De to stay and help me, if he died, but I lived alone, wouldn't I eat people and die laughing?" Or ......"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he suggested: "Or you wait for a good student to persuade him a few words!" If he will come, I will not die. ”

Wang De shook his head and said: "Little Taiwei, you are you, I am me, and you didn't ask me to stay at that time, and Wang's own family should also make meritorious contributions." If you want to descend, then you will descend, and everyone has his own aspirations, so why force it? ”

Yao Pingzhong's face darkened: "Needless to say, after all, my surname is Yao, how can I embarrass the Yao family?" Shi Bao, you do it quickly......"

The more Guan Sheng listened, the more he admired, and hugged his fists and said: "General Yao, Guan shouldn't laugh at you, but he insulted the hero!" In this way, there is no need for Shi Bao to do it, Guan personally waved the knife and sent General Yao on the road. ”

Yao Pingzhong trembled and smiled bitterly: "So much work!" ”

"Wait!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pulled Guan Sheng away.

Wang De laughed and said, "Why should the thief be kind? It must be known that those who want to accomplish great things must not have the kindness of a woman. If you don't kill me, you will lead a large army to destroy you—do it quickly! ”

said that he took a few cases heavily, his back was straight, and he was waiting to be killed.

Cao Cao's expression changed, he thought for a long time, sighed and said: "That's it, now in China, there are many weak people, this gentleman is arrogant, and he can't bear to kill him." The king of heaven imprisoned this person on the mountain, and waited for the next day to fight with Jin Liao, and did not believe that he would not contribute. ”

Wang De laughed: "Even if there is a war with a foreign country, the imperial court has its own western army, do you still want to wait for the grass to help?" ”

Yao Pingzhong hurriedly covered Wang De's mouth, and smiled at Lao Cao: "Sure enough, there are a lot of adults, and they are worthy of being heroes in Liangshan!" Well, where are you going to go with the two of you? Yao took him with him. ”

Everyone laughed when they saw it, and Cao Cao also shook his head and laughed, and asked Liu Tang to take the two of them down.

The brothers sat down separately and talked about the matter, Chao Gai said angrily: "Brother Wu is still too benevolent and righteous, although this Wang De's bones are hard, he is too ignorant of lifting, and I have a lot of good men here." ”

Suo Chao hurriedly said: "Brother Chao Gai doesn't know, this guy is really good at martial arts, and when he was captured, it was me and Brother Yang Zhi and Monk Deng Yuanjue who worked together." ”

Deng Yuanjue nodded and said: "This matter is true, not only this Wang De, but also that Yao Pingzhong, although his temperament is eccentric, his martial arts are really clever." ”

Chao Gai spread his hands and said: "Even so, if you can't use it for us, it will be useless in the end. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I won't kill him, for the sake of the country, pity him for being a brave and good man, and the other has a thought, Brother Zhu Tong, so far his whereabouts are unknown, Li Zhulei Heng two brothers, and there is no piece of news, although there are Senior Brother Lu and others looking for it, I am finally difficult to rest assured, I am about to send a clever brother to Bianjing to investigate, if it is unfortunate, it falls into the hands of the official army, so I can take these two people to negotiate with Tong Guan." ”

Everyone suddenly realized: "I see! ”

When Niu Gao heard this, he got up diligently: "My brother is going to send a clever brother to Tokyo, isn't it just to name me?" This is for my brother. ”

Cao Caoqi said: "I didn't ask you, I originally thought that you two had a family, and asked you to escort Xu Zhizhou to go first, just to reunite with your family as soon as possible, why did you come to Liangshan again in such a hurry?" ”

Li Kui suddenly got angry, and immediately got up to complain: "So that my brother can learn that this brother-in-law who is a brother-in-law of the Golden Festival, the more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, and he is so scared that he doesn't dare to go home to see his wife. ”

Zhu Gui was puzzled: "Why did you become someone's brother-in-law?" Brother-in-law, what the hell is going on? ”

Niu Gao came in a hurry today, and he was going to ask Cao Cao about it, but he saw that Zhu Gui had been in the middle of the banquet, and he was so bluffed that he didn't dare to speak, but he was unexpectedly debunked by Li Kui, and his black face suddenly turned white.

Jin Jie couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't expect his wife and sister to have a dream and provoke such a hand, but thinking about it again, Niu Gao was not a bad thing to be afraid of inside, so he got up and said: "Brother Zhu Gui, the little brother is here to talk to you about this matter......"

immediately pulled Zhu Gui aside, muttered, said how Niu Gao was captured, how his wife and sister dreamed, how he said that he was married, and joined hands with him to offer the city, and finally said: "This matter is always done inappropriately by the younger brother, offended Sister Ling, but Niu Gao is an honest person, and the elder brother wants to beat and punish, and it is all the younger brother who has done it." ”

Zhu Gui couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and called Niu Gao to say: "Don't be afraid, my family is bright, but not as fierce as Duan Sanniang, look at Brother Jin as a person, his wife and sister must also be virtuous, you have to say good words to my sister-in-law, in the future, a bowl of water will be level, and you will naturally live in peace." ”

The eldest brother opened the golden mouth, Niu Gao suddenly showed joy, pulled Zhu Gui and said: "Brother-in-law, how about you go back with me, if Mingyue is angry, you can help him beat me twice to make her angry." ”

When Zhu Gui heard his words, he was not happy at all, but he also eliminated himself, and said with a smile: "How can I have time to run around? Yamashita Hotel, how can I be missing? ”

Niu Gao rolled his eyes, pointed at Li Kui and said, "Just a hotel, let Tie Niu do it for you for a few days." ”

Li Kui was furious: "You black guy, you have repeatedly taken me to the pot, if you ask me to see the hotel, I will drink the wine one day, go to the door panel, and everyone sleeps." ”

Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said, "Little Niu, what is the use of you begging this black guy?" Does he look like a trader? The fifth brother taught you to be obedient, you only came to beg me to be the sixth brother of the king of the navy, but his family has been doing business for many years, and letting him go for Zhu Gui for a few days is to complement each other. ”

Niu Gao was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to ask Wang Dingliu, Wang Dingliu spoke well, and responded with a smile.

Since Niu Gao is worried about the future, he doesn't mention going to Tokyo, Lao Cao's eyes swept around, and he was about to general, when suddenly a person stood up and said with a smile: "The little brother has come to the village, sitting in a high position, and has never made an inch, and is willing to go for his brother." ”

Cao Cao looked at it, it was the "Phantom Demon King" Qiao Wei Qiao Daoqing.

But listen to what he said: "In the past few years, my brother has made several troubles in Tokyo, and many of the brothers have shown their faces. It's better for the younger brother to go alone, if there is news, send a paper crane can be transmitted, if there is a good one, make a trick, and escape naturally. ”

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really reasonable, Qiao Daoqing had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he was vigilant, and he had swordsmanship and Taoism, so he was indeed a good candidate. So he hugged his fists and said: "In that case, thank you Brother Dao!" Brother Dao should also be careful at home, if he has any gains, report to the cottage in time, and have his own brothers to go for reinforcements. ”

When everything was arranged, the crowd continued to cheer and drink, and the night was dispersed.

The next day, Lao Cao ignored Chao Gai's retention, and insisted on going down the mountain to return to Qingzhou, and the entourage was: Fang Jinzhi, Wu Song, Lu Junyi, Fang Baihua, Du Bai, Fan Rui, Yan Qing, Li Kui, Niu Gao, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Yang Zaixing, as well as Wang Yin, Gao Yu, Zu Shiyuan, Lu Jiang, Jin Jie, and Zhu Gui, who was dragged by Niu Gao to help.

Chao Gai couldn't hold him back, sighed lamentingly, and personally led the jade lion that shone in the night: "Brother Wu, this horse is already very good now, you still ride this horse." ”

Cao Cao took it and took a look, and when he saw that the horse was full of energy, he immediately rejoiced: "Thank you, King of Heaven!" I originally said that this horse ran like that, I was afraid that it would be difficult to recover, but I didn't expect the horse to be even better than before! ”

Chao Gai said: "But I can't thank me, but the brother of Tongque Trading House learned about this, and inquired around, and learned that there is a person named Huangfu Duan in Dongchang Mansion, known as 'Purple Haired Uncle', this person is the best at treating horses, so he invited him with a lot of money, and he recuperated for several days in a row to take care of his muscles and bones." ”

Cao Cao said: "Since there is such a strange person, why not have more gold silk with him, please go to the cottage and sit on a chair?" There are many horse troops in the village, where can he not be used? ”

Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's right! Ah, I shouldn't have let him go. ”

Lin Chong stepped forward and said: "This Mr. Huangfu is in Japan, but he is quite able to talk to the younger brother, he is also a bloody man, since the brothers are interested, the younger brother will go to Dongchang Mansion for a while, and invite him to join the gang." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "If Sect Leader Lin does this, he will be able to succeed immediately, bring more property, don't let people say that I am stingy." ”

At that moment, he hurriedly packed up two loads of gifts, and crossed the shore by boat, Qiao Daoqing went to Tokyo with one person and one horse, Lin Chong took two companions, and went to Dongchang Mansion with a gift, and Cao Cao took his brothers and Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and went east.

On May 26, we arrived in Cheongju.

Previously, Li Kui and the two sent Xu Churen to come, everyone in the city knew that Lao Cao would return, and Duan Sanniang came two days ago, and everyone had already sent someone to inquire along the road, and now they heard that Lao Cao returned, Shi Wengong led a group of left-behind brothers, and went out of the city to pick up.

Lao Cao returned home, but he didn't let go of the horse, and when he was walking, he suddenly saw many brothers, surrounded by a few young women waiting on the side of the road, and was immediately overjoyed.

Wu Song saw Zong Yun'er at a glance, holding his son Wu Xiao, when the mother laughed with a spring breeze on her face, her son was not in vain to call a joke, a few months of milk dolls, also grinning and just smirking, Wu Song suddenly felt that his heart was gone, galloping wildly, and he was afraid that the horse would startle his son, so he jumped down from the horse from a distance, first like a tiger down the mountain, and approached, his movements were soft like a big cat, two iron pillar-like arms poked out, even the mother and son were held in her arms, and gently turned around, with tenderness like water on her face, how could there be thousands of troops fighting for Zhu Mian's majesty?

Li Kui also dismounted and galloped, shouting: "Baolian, Ah Gua, I'm back!" Agua good girl, your father only dreams of you for days. ”

After all, Ah Gua was older, stared at his little eyes for a moment, recognized it as his father, and was so happy that he just kicked it in his arms, Baolian couldn't hold it, so he had to put it on the ground, spread his two little short legs and rushed over, Li Kui slipped and knelt, picked up his daughter, slid straight to Baolian's feet, hugged his thighs and said: "I want to kill the iron cow." ”

Although Baolian was born as a singing girl, she was not as cheerful and lively as Zong Yun'er, Zong Yun'er was held in a circle by Wu Song, smiling like a silver bell, and Baolian was only hugged by Li Kui's legs, and her face was flushed with shame.

Lao Cao saw that the brothers were so happy, and he was also happy, his face was full of smiles, and while riding a horse, he looked at his four daughters, Hu Sanniang and the four daughters were also full of tenderness, and they all greeted him, Sanniang smiled: "This time it is finally timely, I was worried that Yuzao's former sister would have a child alone like me, and it would be difficult for you to rush back." ”

Cao Cao glanced at it, but saw the small body in front of Yuzao, with a high belly, and looked cute and pitiful with beautiful eyes open, and couldn't help but say: "Running around for your husband, but it hurts you." ”

was about to step forward and hug a few ladies, but unexpectedly, a tiger-headed tiger brain boy suddenly came out behind Sanniang, reached out and pulled out the sword on Hu Sanniang's waist, and shouted in a milky voice: "Bah! Come by common name! ”

Lao Cao fixed his eyes and saw that this doll was made of pink and jade, it was his own good son, Wu Meng and Wu Xiaoman! A two-year-old child can lift a sword with one hand, which shows the strength of his muscles and bones, and he can't help laughing: "Good boy, don't you recognize your father?" ”

When Xiao Man heard this, he saw that this beard was familiar, and he was blinking his eyes to think, when he suddenly heard a female voice exclaim: "Ah, my Qingluan Sword is here!" ”

There are teachings: Yaksha is arrogant, and the captain is light in death. How many heroes will return with tears.
