Chapter 20: The Tiger of Jingyanggang
Sai Rengui means comparable to the famous general Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty.
Who is Sairengui Guo Sheng? This person is one of the 100 single and eight generals of Shuibo Liangshan, and he can be ranked around 30th in terms of martial arts alone, although he is weaker than Zhu Tong and Lei Heng and his ilk, but he can also be regarded as a second-rate master. In particular, this person's great-great-great-grandson is very famous, and he is the great man of the generation of chivalry who rose in the late Southern Song Dynasty a hundred years later, Guo Jing.
Bai Sheng has seen the "Water Margin Heroes", so he can recognize Guo Shenglai at a glance, he urgently needs someone to help him tide over the difficulties, and on the premise of not finding Wu Song, of course he has to make friends when he meets Guo Sheng.
made a look and let Li Qingzhao Yan Po go back to the room, Bai Sheng drank with Guo Sheng, the friendship between men has always been a matter of a glass of wine, three glasses of wine in the stomach, and then the heart is pulled out, especially in this era of advocating righteousness.
After drinking only a jar of wine, Guo Sheng has already treated Bai Sheng as a brother, and it happened that Bai Sheng asked about Guo Sheng's experience, Guo Sheng told him about his tragedy, it turned out that this Guo Sheng was originally from Jialing, Sichuan, and was a disciple of the Qingcheng faction in western Sichuan.
This time, when he came to Shandong to sell mercury, he accidentally capsized on the Yellow River, not only lost all his goods and property, but even his weapon Fang Tian's halberd also fell into the Yellow River, fortunately he knew a little about water, and was rescued by the boat boss, so he escaped by luck, and more than 20 of the 30 people who accompanied him died, and only 8 people left including him. This time, I went to Yanggu to find the three heroes of the Ruan family in Yuncheng County, and asked the three heroes of the Ruan family to help salvage the goods and silver in the Yellow River.
Hearing the ins and outs of Guo Sheng, Bai Sheng shook his head and laughed, waved his hand and said, "Brother Guo, why do you want to go to Yuncheng again? Then the three heroes of the Ruan family are notoriously unprofitable and can't afford to be early, not to mention that you may not be able to find them if you go, even if you can find them, if you go empty-handed, how will they help you?"
Guo Sheng couldn't help but blush when he heard this, "Then what's the matter? We can't beg all the way back to Sichuan, right?"
Bai Sheng filled Guo with a bowl of wine and said, "Let me say, you don't have to fish for your goods and silver, if Brother Guo can trust me, you might as well go to Tokyo with me, and I will make you rich within a year and earn back ten times your property!"
Hearing this, Guo Sheng's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Bai Sheng's eyes were even brighter, as if he had seen the picture of himself and Guo Sheng fighting Ximenqing side by side.
......
"The big river flows eastward, the natural stars participate in the Beidou, the stars in the sky participate in the Beidou, a bowl of wine at the turn of life and death, wow, let's go, you have me, you have everything, you have me, I have everything, don't look back in the water and fire, the road is uneven and roars, when it's time to shoot, shoot ah, the wind and fire break into Kyushu......"
The next day, Bai Sheng and his entourage really said that they would go, and they were singing and walking, Bai Sheng's singing voice was practiced from KTV, and it was very brilliant to sing Liu Huan's song, which attracted Li Qingzhao and Yan Poxi in the carriage to cheer, and Guo Sheng and his friends also learned to sing.
Before going out of the city, Bai Sheng deliberately bought enough weapons in the weapons shop in the county town, one for each person, and there was no Fang Tian painting halberd in the weapons shop, so he bought a Tieyue halberd for Guo Sheng to make do, and the rest of the people, including Bai Sheng himself, were all waist knives, and they didn't buy spears or long swords, because no one would make it.
The boss of the armory shop said well, the sword is a double-edged soldier, and if it is not used, it will hurt itself, just imagine if the enemy uses a knife and axe to slash vigorously, how can he use a long sword to fight? If the strength is inferior to that of a person, how can the long sword be suppressed without hurting one's own body? And the knife does not have this risk, because the back of the knife is bladeless.
The same is true of the spear, the gun is the king of the soldiers, it is difficult to practice, not to mention, you can't practice the fire for a few years, and you can't show your power when facing the enemy, so it's better to burn the fire stick.
Compared with guns and swords, knives are much easier to use, those who can kill pigs can kill, and those who can't kill pigs can also kill, as long as you cut the enemy's head, no matter how you can use the knife, as long as you cut it, you can always cut it to death.
Bai Sheng did not sit in the carriage and chat with Li Yan's second daughter, but followed Guo Sheng on foot with the car, he felt that if he didn't do this, he couldn't help but be sorry for his brotherhood with Guo Sheng.
After leaving the county seat, Bai Sheng walked all the way and sang all the way, lest Ximenqing not know that he had left the city.
Regarding the matter of Ximen Qing, he did not mention it to Guo Sheng, because then it would seem that his purpose of befriending Guo Sheng was not pure, just like the golden eye Biao Shien in "Water Margin" befriended Wu Song, at first he just showed favor to Wu Song in every way without thinking, but never mentioned the matter of Jiang Menshen, this principle is the same, Bai Sheng is not stupid, who will not learn and sell now?
After a few more miles, we came to a hilly hill, which was divided into two parts, one south and one north, with a dirt road facing west, and the slopes beside the road were densely wooded and overgrown with weeds.
"Brother, don't sing first......," Guo Sheng interrupted Bai Sheng, who was singing vigorously, "Brother Fool thinks that this terrain is the most suitable for strongmen, so let's be more careful when we pass by later." ”
Listen to people's advice and eat well. Bai Sheng stopped singing according to his words, and said in his heart that if Ximen Qing led people to ambush him, most of them would choose here, and he cheered up at the moment and pulled out a waist knife from the scabbard, and when Guo Sheng's guys saw it, they also held the knife in their hands and took precautions.
After entering the mountains, the forest became more and more dense, and everyone was even more vigilant, marching slowly around the carriage, looking into the bushes, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, suddenly, there was a scream not far ahead, it sounded like a howl that happened before someone was dying, and the hair of the frightened people stood up, and then, a strange roar sounded, so frightened that the front hooves of the two horses pulling the cart were raised high, and then the feces and urine flowed together, and they could not move forward again.
"What kind of beast is this?" asked someone in the crowd in a trembling voice.
Guo Sheng's face was solemn, and he shouted in a low voice: "This seems to be a tiger's roar! But how can there be a tiger here? What a strange thing!"
Bai Sheng was taken aback, and suddenly remembered something, could it be that this was the legendary Jingyanggang? Before he could figure it out, Guo Sheng had already run to the front, and said as he ran: "The tiger eats people, I want to go and help!" Brother, you don't need to follow, just protect your family!"
Bai Sheng couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said in his heart that this tiger was probably not a good person, most of them were Ximenqing's group, and they all let the tiger eat it! What else did you go up to help? You helped Ximenqing fight the tiger, what else did I do with you?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Guo, stop! Don't go to help yet!"
Unexpectedly, Guo Sheng was hot-blooded, where could he shout to stop, Bai Sheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and suddenly changed his mind: "Brother Guo, you wait for me, I'll go with you!" After that, he ran wildly, chasing Guo Sheng's footsteps and rushing to the woods ahead. At this moment, his idea was that he had to hold Guo Sheng no matter what, even if he wanted to be a hero who fought the tiger, he had to wait for the tiger to eat Ximenqing first.
