Chapter 15: The Core Five

In Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Biao's small courtyard is not the most luxurious, but it is the most elegant, the courtyard is not big or small, one door and two entrances, both sides are symmetrical, and the front and back yards are connected by corridors.

The front yard is full of peach blossoms, on both sides of the corridor in the backyard, there are nine jujube trees planted on one side, and three lush locust trees are planted on one side, taking the meaning of "three locust and nine thorns", which is the embodiment of Zhu Biao's ambition and ambition.

There are three wings in the front yard, where Lu Fang and Guo Sheng live, and there is a little girl who loves to wear pink clothes, which is an orphan girl picked up by Zhu Biao next to a peach tree in Dulonggang in the early years, and named Taoyao.

In the backyard are three main rooms, divided into a bedroom, a living room and a study.

At this time, in the corridor outside the study, a little girl in pink clothes of seven or eight years old was sitting on a soft stool, her little face was red from the cold, licking a sugar gourd with a smile like a flower, and staring at the gate with a pair of big eyes through the corridor.

In the study, Zhu Biao, Hu Qing'e, and the other three sat around a desk.

These three people are a scribe with a full stomach, a businessman with a calm atmosphere, and a master of martial arts.

The middle-aged scribe was Zhu Biao four years ago from Anren Village outside Tokyo, visited the thatched house, and personally invited Zhujiazhuang, the cloth cloth and the prime minister - Wen Huanzhang.

In the original text of the Water Margin, there are three famous rural teachers, one is Wu Yong from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju, Shandong, who later went to Liangshan and was called "Zhiduoxing", and Tiangang ranked third in 36; One is Lou Minzhong from Qingxi County, Muzhou, Zhejiang, who is also a resourceful person, who is valued by Fang La, and becomes the left prime minister under Fang La.

The last one is Wen Huanzhang of Anren Village outside Tokyo, Wen Huanzhang is not only like Wu Yong and Lou Minzhong, but also an unknown teacher, but also a guest of countless dignitaries and nobles in Tokyo.

When Gao Yu conquered Liangshan, Xu Jing recommended Wen Huanzhang to Gao Yu, saying that he "has a deep understanding of Tao strategy, is good at knowing military opportunities, has the talent of Sun Wu, and the wisdom of Zhuge ". After that, the emperor personally ordered Wen Huanzhang to be appointed as a staff officer to serve in Gao Yu's army. Before Wen Huanzhang left the capital, Taishi Cai Jing also personally set up a banquet for him. All this shows Wen Huanzhang's fame and ability.

Needless to say, the middle-aged businessman is the owner of Lijiazhuang in Dulonggang, Zhu Biao's righteous eldest brother, the eagle's eyes are like a tiger, the swallow jaw ape arm wolf waist, and the rivers and lakes are called the eagle - Li Ying.

Li Ying, a character with mixed reviews in the original work, was originally allied with Zhu and Hu Erzhuang, and they relied on each other, but he reneged on the covenant and helped Liangshan break Zhujiazhuang.

Now it is one of the core figures of Dulonggang, and the Flying Tiger of Hujiazhuang - Hu Cheng, one is one and one pair, in charge of Dulonggang's financial power, doing business in the world, and taking infinite wealth.

In the past, the village was broken, and now it is protected.

The middle-aged head of the sect is called Wang Jin, who is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in the past, the son of the famous martial artist Wang Sheng.

When Gao Yu was not successful, he once learned to make a stick and injured Wang Sheng, the father of Wang Jin, and made a feud from then on. Two years ago, Gao Yu won the favor of the official family and became the palace marshal and captain, and happened to become Wang Jin's direct superior, so he took advantage of Wang Jin's serious illness and failed to even point out, and wanted Wang Jin to die.

Wang Jin learned of his situation, and in shock, he fled from Tokyo with his mother. When he was in the rivers and lakes, he was found by the embroidered clothes and invited to Zhujiazhuang.

Wang Jin saw that Zhu Biao respected his old mother and protected him in every way, and Zhujiazhuang was indeed a rare place for his old mother to take care of her old life, so he stayed in Zhujiazhuang to teach martial arts and train Zhuang Ding.

Only these five people in the study room are the five people at the core of Dulonggang today!

......

After a simple greeting and narration, Zhu Biao spoke first and asked Hu Qing'e, "Sanniang, is there any news from Xiaoyi?" ”

Xiao Yi in Zhu Biao's words, was originally the companion of Lu Yuanwai of the former Daimyo Mansion, the prodigal son - Yan Qing, Yan Xiaoyi, good at using crossbow arrows, proficient in sumo, strong martial arts, and versatile, blowing, singing, dancing, talking from all walks of life, all walks of life, all kinds of arts, all fine.

Since rescuing Zhang Zhenniang's family last year, Zhu Biao deeply felt that the news lag in Bianliang and the constraints of action, so he asked Lu Junyi for Yan Qing as an embroidered dragon envoy and asked him to go to Bianliang to open up the situation.

"I don't know what means this little Yi brother has become the guest of the Zhao official family's forbidden - Master Li, and a few days ago, Zeng Feiying sent a letter back, only to say that he has already made quite a difference. In addition, Yan Xiaoyi found Lu Ti Zhi of Daxiangguo Temple and told all the things about Lin Jiaotou, Lu Ti Zhi was moved by Yan Xiaoyi's words, and now he has set off for Shandong. Hu Qing'e responded.

When Zhu Biao heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, thinking that it was not the arrangement of fate, Yan Qing, the prodigal son, was still mixed with Master Li. In addition, he is looking forward to what Lu Tizhi is coming, and the flower monk, Lu Zhishen, is one of the few true heroes in Shuibo Liangshan in the original trajectory.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Ying, and said: "Brother, in the future, pay more attention to Liaodong and Beidi, buy more eagles and falcons at a high price, and let the brothers of the embroidered clothes stay up; If I had predicted otherwise, the world would have been even more chaotic in a lunar year, and the carrier pigeons would not be safe, and they would have to use the falcon to deliver the message. ”

Li Ying nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, on a cloudy day, I will ask Du Xing to personally take people to Liaodong and Beidi to search and buy." ”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, let's go after I get married to Sanniang." Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and said to Hu Qing'e.

"Yesterday I have ordered Shi Xiu to be the White Tiger Envoy, and I will go to Yuncheng County after the year, focusing on observing the situation in Dongxi Village and Liangshanbo, and now the embroidered clothes have made the envoys from all over the Quartet, Sanniang, the burden on your body is very heavy, and the intelligence network that should be rolled out has to be rolled out."

Hu Qing'e nodded when she heard this, and then her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said: "Concubine Shi Xiu put him in Qinghe County, which itself is to let him experience some training and then entrust him with important tasks, since San Lang has appointed him to be the White Tiger Envoy, he must be satisfied with him." The concubine's body is only white, San Lang, why do you keep letting the embroidered envoy pay attention to the situation of the Liangshan water, and now there are only Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan clowns jumping off the beam on the Liang Mountain; There is also Dongxi Village, although there is a well-known Tota Heavenly King Chao Baozheng, but there is a very tight one. ”

After Hu Qing'e finished speaking, Zhu Biao glanced at Li Ying and Wang Jin, who were also puzzled, and glanced at Wen Huanzhang on one side, who understood.

I saw that Wen Huanzhang's face showed an unfathomable and confident look, and he took a sip of tea lightly, and then said: "I discussed this question with San Lang a few years ago, and I will answer it today." ”
