The purchase of Zhuangzi went smoothly and was completed in only three days.

Ten miles south of the city, the Zhuangzi is very large, and it is the property of a merchant in the city.

This merchant originally had land outside the city before building Zhuangzi, but later when he went to Huaixi to do business, he encountered Wang Qing's rebellion, and even lost his interest.

After escaping back to Tokyo, he planned to sell Zhuangzi turnover, but the land was to be sold together, and the asking price of his land was very high, exceeding the market price by 30%, which was more than 100 acres, and he had to buy it all, not sell it alone.

Before Yang Jian's death, he distributed a family property, and Shang Jia was his nephew, but because he had no scholars, he got less, and the land was only more than 100 acres in the suburbs of Beijing, and the silver money was also the lowest in the same clan.

Yao Pingzhong asked Zhao Ta to go over and take a look, and felt that the location was okay, quiet and quiet, but as for the high price of land, because it was all good land, it was naturally expensive to sell.

After buying it, Zhao Ta saw that there was no name, and saw that there was a small river in front of the village, and the river was full of willow trees, so he took up a pen and wrote the word green willow.

Later, he instructed Yao Pingzhong and Luo Jinshui to set up a meeting place for Gyeonggi Mingjiao.

In the blink of an eye, Tokyo ushered in the first snow of winter.

Zhao Ta put on a robe and went to the village to check, because it was connected to the land, there were some tenant farmers, working in spring and autumn, and they also came to the village to work in the cold weather, and they were clean.

The village was originally complete with everything, and several simple halls were built as a place to store books and worship gods.

The people stationed in Li were all believers brought back from Luzhou, but they were not those in the forbidden army, but the exiles who were coerced by Wang Qing at that time.

After these displaced people were brought to the capital, they should be assigned to the Xiang Army, but this matter had to be managed by the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, and the progress was slow.

He didn't reveal his true identity, he still used Li Fei's name, and his face was simple.

Although the disfigurement powder given by Yelu Dashi back then was used up, this kind of thing is not difficult to find, and there are several people in the Broken Jade Building, all of whom are good men who have mixed with the rivers and lakes and green forests before, even if Shi Qian is not lacking in this thing.

Zhao Ta picked among them, and finally used the medicinal powder of the time, although the color is not exactly the same, but it is also dark yellow, and it is difficult for people who are not close to it to recognize the original face after washing.

And he has lectured many times in Luzhou, and the tone of his voice is familiar to these disciples, and there is nothing wrong or wrong.

On this day, I went back to the palace from Luliuzhuang, knowing that Zhao Kai was already on the way back to Beijing, Liangshan's recruitment was quite smooth, and Emperor Daojun promised the leaders an official position, and was following Zhao Kai back at the moment.

The light snow was still falling, sprinkled all day, without any intention of stopping, when the lights were on in the evening, Zhao Ta filled in a song to congratulate the Holy Dynasty and passed it on, so that the booksellers who had been waiting outside the house for a long time smiled.

A few days later, Zhao Kai arrived in Beijing, and the soldiers and horses were outside the Xincao Gate, and Emperor Daojun ordered to meet him.

This momentum was extremely huge, and it was not weaker than the welcoming ceremony when Huaixi was recovered that day.

Emperor Daojun also issued an edict that the leader of Liangshan should wear military uniforms and bring only three or five hundred horses into the city, from east to west, to watch from the Xuande Tower, so that the people in the city can admire such feats.

Over there, Song Jiang got the order, let the iron-faced face Mu Pei Xuan choose a biao-shaped big man, play golden drums and flags in front, swing guns, knives and axes in the back, and erect two red flags of "Shuntian" and "Protect the Country" in the middle, wear robes and armor, form a team, and enter from Dongguo Gate.

Emperor Daojun led hundreds of officials to watch from the Xuande Tower, and Zhao Ta was also on the side, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and a clear and quiet look in his eyes.

I saw the following coming, the front of the golden drum flag, guns, knives and axes, each team, there are stepping on the white horse army, playing the "Shuntian", "protect the country" two red flags, the diagnosis, the treasure to open the way, Zhu Wu pressed, there are twenty or thirty horses outside with the military drum music, behind many heroes, in clusters, the end is majestic, heroic!

Emperor Daojun looked at Liangshan's subordinates, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his heart was happy, and he pointed out to the hundred officials: "Sure enough, I am loyal, and I am a good man!" ”

Zhao Tan squinted his eyes and looked at the leaders below, but there were no one hundred and eight people, about seventy or eighty, except for the ones he had summoned in advance, there were also some who didn't know where to go, whether they had not entered the team, or were stationed outside the city.

Especially he didn't see Lin Chong, nor did he see Hu Sanniang.

Emperor Daojun watched the strike on the Xuande Tower, and his heart was happy, so he issued a holy decree for the head of the palace to preach, teaching Song Jiang and others to remove the blades and utensils, put on the imperial brocade robe, and enter the palace to see the driver.

The head of the palace received the order to pass the decree to Liangshan, and Song Jiang hurriedly took the generals to the Donghua Gate, took off his military uniform, wore the red and green brocade robe given by the emperor, and hung the gold and silver medals, and smeared the green boots.

Then Song Jiang was the leader, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were the second, and the general of the front hall led the way, leading everyone to enter the palace from the Donghua Gate.

Emperor Daojun opened the Wende Palace, cleaned up the court ceremony, set up Luan, and the ceremonial officials led Song Jiang and others into the hall in turn, and then arranged to salute, and the mountain call long live was over, and the Daojun Emperor began to reward.

First sealed the doctor of Song Jiang Wude, the pacification envoy of Chuzhou and the head of the soldiers and horses.

Chuzhou is an important town in Huaidong, with important geography and prosperity.

This official position is actually good in words, it is not a small official position, and it is a civil servant.

However, Huainan East Road has its own pacification envoy and has jurisdiction over the military and political power of Huaidong Road.

And Chuzhou has a Zhizhou, which is in charge of the military and political power of Chuzhou.

So what is this Chu Prefecture pacification envoy? It's probably a good name, and the real official position is really the last, the head of the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou.

Under Zhizhou, he was in charge of the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou.

But Song Jiang was originally just a small official in Yuncheng County, Shandong, with no grade or rank, even if he spent his whole life there was no chance to step into the official rank, but at this moment it was a step to the sky.

Then Emperor Daojun sealed Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and other leaders, although some official positions are really low, but they are finally officials, and they are no longer grass and green forests.

After everything was done, Emperor Daojun ordered Guanglu Temple to arrange a royal banquet, and the good brewing department ate wine, Zhen Xi department ate, palm medicine department made rice, the big official office served food, and the workshop division played music.

This specification is different from the celebration banquet on that day, it is the rule of entering the foreign ministers, and it is not as casual as the celebration banquet.

This banquet, until dusk, it snowed heavily outside the hall again, this time it was heavier, and there was a tendency for goose feathers to fly.

Zhao Ta sat behind the case and drank, with many doubts in his heart, and the people in Liangshan opposite were still performing martial arts in front of Xuande Building, and they did not add one more.

He looked carefully several times, but there were still no Lin Chong and Hu Sanniang, both of whom he recognized, and he would never make a mistake.

As the night grew thicker, the banquet slowly dispersed, and Song Jiang and the others all went out of the palace with hairpins, got on their horses, and were taken to the post house to rest.

Zhao Ta returned home, just entered the study and sat down, Lei San came to report, saying that someone had given gifts before, and when he saw that they were all gold, silver and copper goods, he temporarily accepted them, but he left a living mouth in his words, saying that he would wait for the prince to come back and decide.

Zhao Ta curiously asked which one sent someone to send it, Lei Sandao was Song Jiang, the leader of the Liangshan thieves who entered the city today.

Zhao Ta smiled, asked Lei San to put things into storage, and then stood outside the study door to watch the snow.

I saw the sky swaying, and large snowflakes fell, as if the Qionggong Palace was falling, without any intention of stopping.

The study has been wrapped in silver carvings and jade everywhere before, the path is paved with a layer of white, the trees and things, and a lot of snow, reflecting the lights in the room, illuminating the shadows.

Faced with this scene, Zhao Ta suddenly remembered the word, saying that he was reading for Yingxue, and his heart gradually fell into contemplation......

Liangzhejiang West Road, the boundary of Runzhou, this night also fell a rare heavy snow in a century.

Goose feathers came all over the sky, the sky and the earth were vast, and the night was sad and white.

The two men walked through the snow, without horses, but with great difficulty.

The horse had already been injured and died, and a chase ran through Jingdong East Road and Huainan East Road, and then it was completely freed.

Walking in the head is a man, with a leopard head and ringed eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and a burly body.

He brought a hat and a gray cloak stained with dark red marks.

Carrying an iron spear on his shoulder, it was actually a snake spear, and the head of the spear was also dark red at this moment, which was clearly frozen in blood and had not dried up.

The man walked to the bottom of a dead tree and stopped, looked up at the sky, and said to the woman who followed him: "Sanniang, it's not far away, now that the person chasing and killing has been broken, there is no need to rush after tonight." ”

The woman in the back was dressed in black, but simply wrapped her head with a handkerchief, she was pretty, tall and straight, and she just nodded when she heard the words, and seemed to be quite tired.

The man said again: "Although I didn't kill Li Kui's house this time, I also stabbed Gu's sister-in-law to death, Hujiazhuang's revenge is half avenged, just wait for the next day, and then I will definitely kill the black guy, Sanniang doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The woman shook her head when she heard this: "I'm not worried about this matter, it's not long before I kill that black guy, but Lang Jun's own revenge has not been avenged, and he has been ...... again."

The man frowned and let out a long sigh, he was not someone else, it was Lin Chong, who sat in the second position of Liangshan.

Zhao Kai recruited An Liangshan, Song Jiang flattered him, Lin Chong originally thought of pretending to follow, and he was false and wronged, and he would slowly take care of it after returning to Beijing.

Who knew that Gao Yu's mind was gloomy, although it was a long time, he didn't want to let him go at all, he actually wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the root to prevent future troubles, secretly instigated Song Jiang to poison him, and after being detected by Lin Chong, he sent people to chase him all the way.

Lin Chong fled south after taking Hu Sanniang down Liangshan, and more than a dozen Liangshan leaders behind him brought more than 100 minions to chase and kill.

The two of them left in a hurry, relying on their superb martial arts, and set some traps between the two roads, and even killed all the dozen or so heroes who were chasing, and the remaining stragglers were also scattered, and then they entered the boundary of Runzhou on West Zhejiang Road.

Lin Chong patted the snow on his body at this time, looked ahead and said, "It seems that this snow will be difficult to stop tonight, so let's find a place to spend the night and hurry tomorrow morning." ”

Hu Sanniang said: "Lang Jun, did you say that Muzhou Fang La would take in the two of us?" Last time, I heard the Crane King Fang 19 say that Fang La is a religion, but we are not people of the Ming religion. ”

Lin Chong looked at her and said: "It's okay to do this, it's a big deal to enter the so-called Mingjiao, as long as Gao Yu is in one day, I and the Great Song Dynasty will be on the same page, and now Fang La is determined to make trouble, if he can really hit Tokyo, he will also catch Gao Yu to dig out his liver and take revenge." ”

The two walked forward while talking, and after a while, they saw a village in the distance, and Hu Sanniang said happily: "There are lights and candles in front of me, I don't know if anyone is willing to spend the night." ”

Lin Chong said: "If you ask, you will know that I still have some silver money on me, and I don't live in vain." ”

After walking over, just as he was about to knock on the door, Lin Chong suddenly had a complicated expression, looked at the dark red marks on his body, and couldn't help but tighten his brows.

He and Hu Sanniang were all the way over, and their clothes were already stained with blood, but Hu Sanniang was okay, because the blue and black clothes he was wearing couldn't be seen clearly, but his body was too conspicuous, and he was afraid of being seen under the light.

There is also the Zhangba snake spear, the head of the spear is frozen and the blood is thrown there, and it looks like it has killed people.

Lin Chong pondered, and Hu Sanniang said, "Lang Jun is worried about the blood stains on his body? ”

Lin Chong nodded, and then held the snake spear to knock the blade blood ice, but it was so frozen that it couldn't be beaten at all, so he had to pull a piece of black cloth from Hu Sanniang and wrap it.

"The traces on the body can't be covered, just look at the blur under the lamp, and the other party can't pay attention." Lin Chong said lightly.

Hu Sanniang hesitated a little: "Lang Jun, what if you are noticed?" ”

Lin Chong's face turned slightly cold, and he didn't answer, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door......

There are only a few dozen families in the small village, and it is more than 20 miles away from Runzhou City, which is considered a suburb and has always been peaceful and peaceful.

But this morning, the courtyard door of Zhou Laoshi's house, the head of the village, was not opened for a long time, and there was a happy event in the east of the village.

The person who came shouted a few times outside the courtyard, but no one answered inside, and after I wondered, I pushed the courtyard door, but it was opened, and then I walked in and shouted again There was still no sound.

The person who came was a little furious in his heart, walked to the door and knocked a few times, then stretched out his hand and dragged it, and the door was also opened, and he poked his head to take a few looks, and it was as silent as death.

He scratched his face, walked in carefully, and when he arrived in front of the door of the west chamber, he suddenly felt that there was water underground, and he almost slipped his head, but he found that something was wrong, how sticky and fishy, he touched his eyes and looked up, it was actually a red color.

Then he lowered his body, and saw a hand coming out of the crack in the door of the west wing, and it was a miserable white color, and he immediately screamed in fright, and ran out.

After leaving the house, he was slipped by the snow and fell again, and saw that the ground was trampled on by his own family and was blood-red, so he couldn't help but crawl to the courtyard gate, and did not return to Dongtou's house, and ran straight to the Baozheng residence in the neighboring village......

The next day, the snow was clear, and in the afternoon, someone at the door of the palace presented a sticker, and the housekeeper sent it to the study.

Zhao Ta took the post, skimmed over the meaty words, and saw that the bottom paragraph read:

Xiaguan, Doctor Wude, Chuzhou pacification envoy, head of soldiers and horses, Shandong Song Jiang, worship the king to drive a thousand years old, respectful and cautious.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm also good at speculation, but it's a pity that I was born at the wrong time." ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Ta asked the housekeeper to reply that he could come in three days, and then got up to change his clothes and changed his face, and he didn't bring anyone, and rode a big-bellied yellow horse out of the back door and left.

He walked around the city for a while, and then went straight to the green willow village outside the city.

Zhuangzili had just made a rule at this moment, and he appointed several envoys, appointing those who were literate as messengers of scriptures, those who were a little fistful as military envoys, and those who could speak well as clever debaters.

As for the scriptures of Mingjiao, he also wrote five or seven or eight books silently by memory, and made up a few more books at will, and a Mingjiao Gyeonggi General Altar was formed.

The disciples were all happy, and they didn't ask why it was called the general altar even though it was a branch altar, and they didn't know at all that the positions of these envoys were not registered at all on the Jiangnan side of the Central Plains Mingjiao.

At the end of the afternoon, Zhao Ta rode back to the city, originally to go to the back door of the palace, around the palace wall, but saw a little maid hesitantly walking to the front door, he identified it, it was Zhao Yuannu's personal maid to make jade.
