Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ximen Qing defeated Yanggu County

After receiving the military order, Song Jiang took Hua Rong, Li Kui, Mu Hong, and Mu Chun, four confidants, and ordered more than 2,000 horse infantry troops, and then came to Yanggu County in the starry night.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, the night of murder and arson, the wind was high and the day of fire, it was the time when the north wind was howling in late autumn and the frogs and cicadas were out of sound, and Song Jiang was currently outside Yanggu County.

The city wall of Yanggu County is towering and the moat is deep, and the open city gate is in contrast to the fresh yin, Hua Rong nodded to Mu Hong on the side, and the horse frowned slightly from Song Jiang's side, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Gongyin, you can think about it, if you enter the city gate of Yanggu County tonight, we will break the city and become a thief completely." ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he groaned slightly, and said in his heart: Now these people who are following a certain person, although Li Kui and Mu Hong are strong in martial arts, but their personalities are too irritable and extreme, and the rest of them are just ordinary people, but this Hua Rongxian brother is a person with superb martial arts and a clear mind, and he is also a friend who changes his neck, and some words can also be said to him.

"Brother Xian, do you know that Zhongshan Anping Jiedu makes the lone tiger - Zhang Kai, Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu makes the four-legged snake - Xu Jing, and Yingzhou Runan Jiedu makes Mei Dalang - Mei Zhan?" Song Jiang whispered to Hua Rong.

Hua Rong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Song Jiang hesitantly, and responded: "These three junior brothers know that these three people are all influential figures in the rivers and lakes and green forests in the past. ”

"Yes, they used to be people in the rivers and lakes and green forests~~~" Song Jiang sighed meaningfully, and looked at Hua Rong with unfathomable eyes and said.

Hearing this, how could Hua Rong not be white Song Jiang's words, but although this person gave birth to a talent with a seven-trick and exquisite heart, he was neither Zhu Biao who opened the eyes of the future generations, nor was he a resourceful abyss like Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong, and at this time, he couldn't tell whether Song Jiang's thoughts in his heart were right or wrong, and after being silent for a long time, he only said to Song Jiang seriously.

"Brother Gongyin knows it in his heart, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Hua Rong should accompany him to the end."

Song Jiangwan smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Hua Rong's shoulder, beckoned to the military horse behind him, and saw that Mu Hong was leading the 500 horse army, and Li Kui was leading more than 1,500 infantry, shouting and rushing towards the gate of Yanggu County.

After the tea, the fire broke out in Yanggu County, shouting to kill the sky, and the ordinary people closed their doors and windows, only the lights in Ximenqing's house were dark.

The middle-aged housekeeper walked anxiously towards the main house, standing at the door and hesitating for a moment, there were bursts of gasping in the house, only burning his eyebrows, and the middle-aged housekeeper couldn't take care of it anymore, he slapped on the door and shouted: "Big official, it's a disaster, the Liangshan thieves have entered the city." ”

As soon as these words came out, the movement in the house stopped suddenly, and after a while, Ximen Qing opened the door in rags, looked at the fires rising everywhere in the city, listened to the shouts and killings that were getting closer and closer, and said sharply: "How did the people of Liangshan enter the city, didn't they make an appointment to wait for us to notify Wu Zhi to return to Yanggu County, why did they come tonight......

Halfway through the words, he heard Ximenqing scream, and suddenly his eyebrows were murderous, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"It's not good, this Liangshan grass coward was recruited by Zhu Biao's guy, quickly gather people, let's take advantage of the chaos to escape back to Qinghe, and if we don't leave, we will become a turtle in the urn."

When the middle-aged housekeeper heard this, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly turned around to gather people, Ximenqing shouted to the next room, and after a while, a slightly chubby maid walked out and cautiously saluted Ximenqing.

Ximenqing waved his hand and said impatiently: "Hurry up and serve the lady to change her clothes, pack your bags, and take the lady to the door to get on the carriage and go out of the city after a cup of tea." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about being disheveled, so he rushed towards the front yard, and after seeing Ximenqing leave, the little fat maid turned into the house, and there was already a style in the house, and the woman with the appearance of Qiu Ju was neatly dressed and sat quietly at the table.

The little fat maid walked to the woman's side and said in a low voice: "Miss, now that the Liangshan thieves have entered the city, I received a message from Brother Shi at noon, let us go to the back door of the mansion at the right time, and there will be a carriage to take Miss out of the city, saying that Miss will take revenge with her own hands." ”

When the woman heard this, a line of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she muttered: "Official, Yulou will soon be able to avenge you." ”

This woman is none other than Meng Yulou, the widow of Yang Zongxi, who was engaged in the cloth business in the rich and noble family of Qinghe County in the past.

The little chubby maid was also infected by the woman's emotions, and she wanted to cry and threw herself into the woman's arms; The woman touched the little girl's head, a smile leaked from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Don't cry, tonight is a memorable night, the time is coming soon, let's go quickly." ”

The master and servant went out, looked at the chaotic Ximen Mansion, picked up the light and walked in the dark place, and soon arrived at the back door, where there was already a carriage waiting in the alley at the corner outside the back door.

There was a young man sitting in front of the carriage, and when he saw two figures flashing out of the back door of Ximen Mansion, he hurriedly rushed forward, and the master and servant got into the carriage, and the young man took out a pear from his arms and handed it to the little fat girl, and said: "Little Pear Flower, the son said that after eating this autumn pear, you and Sister Meng will stay away from the land of right and wrong and go to Dulonggang to live a good life." ”

The little chubby girl Pear Blossom smiled slightly, two cute dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, and said timidly: "Thank you, Brother Yun." ”

The young man smiled, raised the long whip in his hand, set up the carriage, and headed out of the city.

However, it was said that Ximenqing had summoned the guards and family members in the house, and only the two masters and servants of Meng Yulou were missing, and he was irritable for no reason, and he didn't care about finding someone, and the people of Liangshan were not far away.

Ximen Qing was arched in the middle by hundreds of guards, and he didn't have time to sort out his family assets, so he hurriedly went towards the city gate, avoiding the place where Liangshan military horses gathered along the way, walking cautiously, and surprisingly smoothly out of Yanggu County from the north gate.

Out of Yanggu County a few miles away, Ximen Qing rode on horseback, looked at the moonlit city of Yanggu County behind him, although he escaped from the city, his heart was filled with a lingering ominous premonition, all this was too smooth, all the way out of the city, only felt that the Liangshan thieves shouted killing in front of him, but he never encountered it, only dodged all the way, as if he was driven out of the north gate.

"What is the place north of Yanggu County?" With a hint of luck, Ximenqing asked in a deep voice towards one of the guards beside him.

The guard hesitated for a moment, looking at Ximenqing incredulously, Yanggu County to the north is Dulonggang, Dulonggang and Taishan Jun's name, but no one knows the boundary of Shandong, only the guards dare not collide, and responded: "Go back to the big official, go north is Dulonggang." ”

As if to confirm what Ximenqing thought, there was a sound in the dense forest on both sides of the official road, hundreds of people flashed on the left and right, and the person on the left was a fat monk, carrying a huge iron water mill Zen staff, and when he saw the person on the right, Ximenqing's face suddenly turned pale, his body was shocked, and he almost fell off the horse.

The person on the right side is the leader, with a dignified body, a dignified appearance, a broad chest, strong bones and muscles, a pair of eyes as bright as stars in the dark night, carrying a pair of iron ring knives, glowing with bursts of cold light under the moonlight.

This person is not Wu Song, who can he be!
