Song Jiang picked up the martial artist and was about to ask for his name. Mu Chun heard that Song Jiang had reported his name, so he immediately bumped into the onlookers and rushed forward. My brother also heard Li Jun on Jieyang Ridge talk about his brother's name every day, and I also heard that Kai is a righteous man who fights for righteousness and squanders money, but he committed a lawsuit for his life, and he doesn't want to see him here today! ”

The reputation of the rivers and lakes is really a good thing...... Song Jiang had such an idea in his heart, and hurriedly asked Mu Chun, "Does the official know Brother Li Jun of the Mixed River Dragon?" Thanks to the promotion of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, he is very embarrassed, I don't know what this official is called? ”

Mu Chun arched to Song Jiang and said: "Junior brother Mu Chun, the rivers and lakes called me to be a little block, I was born in a big family here, and the little brother also has a brother surnamed Mu Minghong, whose nickname is not blocked." Our brothers, the best rivers and lakes are righteous, but they are also our brothers' blessings, Xiao Renxia came to our mansion before, and now we are blessed to be able to see Brother Song Gongming! ”

Then Xiao Tang has also been to this Jieyang Town!?

Song Jiang's expression changed, but it was not easy to ask in detail on such an occasion at the moment. When Song Jiang and Mu Chun looked at the martial artist with a frosty face and good marksmanship, they saw the big man arch his hand and said: "The villain's surname is Du Mingbai, and his ancestors are from Xianning, Ezhou, Jinghu North Road, because he is good at making eight snake spears, so he is called 'Du Tiejin', I was originally a commander of Jinghu Road, but I was stripped of my military position because I was evil to the official, and I had to wander the rivers and lakes, and live by selling ......medicine with guns and sticks."

It turns out that this Du Bao is very good at martial arts, and his nickname is also taken from the "Interpretation of the Name, Release of the Soldiers", "The spear is eight feet long, and it is held immediately, and it is said that it will be killed; It is also said to be a spear, a spear that can be intercepted by the enemy's formation", and combined with the five dynasties when the famous generals of the Liang State were praised as "able to walk a hundred steps." Holding an iron spear, riding and galloping, fighting like flying" Wang Yanzhang's king of iron spear nickname, so he called him Du Tiejin, in order to praise Du Yan's ability to make the spear superb.

But it is also because he is arrogant and upright, because he is not used to seeing that most of the officials are people who bend the law for personal gain, and they do not have very ability and often contradict each other.

Originally, with Du Bai's martial arts, it was definitely more than enough to be the head of the gun and stick in a local powerful village, but Du Bai had his own arrogance, and he was not used to seeing the evil behavior of some big families bullying the villagers in the past.

Song Jiang and Mu Chun saw that Du Biao was very good at his ability, and he was very polite to treat him, Mu Chun immediately invited Song Jiang and Du Biao to his own village to talk carefully, and at the same time ordered the help around him to go to the village to report to Mu Hong, and asked the village to cook wine and food, and arrange a banquet to entertain Song Jiang and Du Kuo.

Zhang Qian and Li Wan, the two men who served Song Jiang all the way, how could they not follow at this time? When everyone came to the door of Mujiazhuang, Mu Hong had also received the news of Mu Chun, and went out of the village to greet Song Jiang and Du Yan.

During the banquet, Song Jiang took the opportunity to ask Mu Hong: "I heard that Xiao Renxia, who is famous all over the rivers and lakes, has also been to the treasure land, and Xiao Ke also had a relationship with him back then, and he is a good person, and he is worthy of being praised by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but I don't know why Xiao Renxia came here?" ”

Mu Hong, who was drinking slightly red, was about to speak, and suddenly he suddenly woke up and said: At that time, Xiao Renxia was to protect Tang and be fair, and escorted him all the way to the Jiangzhou prison camp......

However, Xiao Renxia is a figure who walks on the official face, and later in order to rescue Li Zhi, who he has never met before, he saw injustice and drew a knife to help, but he also summoned many green forest figures. When I was separated from Xiao Renxia, he also had a thousand instructions and instructions, don't teach him to unite many heroes to rob the prison camp and save the prisoners.

Although Mu Hong has a violent and reckless temperament, just as in the original book, in order to rescue Song Jiang, who was not a close friend with him at the time, he set fire to his own courtyard and went to Benliang Mountain with all his furniture, his eyes did not blink, he was more impressed by Xiao Tang's ancient way and warm intestines and extravagant martial arts, and at this time, he was even more reluctant to break his promise and fattened Xiao Tang.

And even if Song Jiang's reputation in the rivers and lakes is louder, Mu Hong doesn't know the root of him, because he hasn't been reckless enough to tell Song Jiang in detail how Xiao Tang summoned Huangmen Mountain, Shiliang Mountain and other green forest soldiers and horses, how to contact him and Li Jun and other heroes from Jiangzhou, and how he broke into Jiangzhou Prison City to rescue Li Zhi, the heavenly hand. Mu Hong only said to Song Jiang that Xiao Tang met his Mu brothers only after passing through Jieyang Town on the way to Jiangzhou in order to escort Tang Gong, who was regarded as his father-in-law, to Jiangzhou.

It's just that after pushing the cup again, Mu Hong thought again: Although this Song Gongming's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not as loud as Xiao Renxia, listening to his past deeds, he should also be a heroic man with deep righteousness. Since Xiao Renxia has also met with him, although the friendship is not deep, but teaching him to know Xiao Renxia's righteous act of rescuing the righteous will inevitably teach this Song Gongming to respect Xiao Renxia more. Let's have a more relationship with this Song Gongming for a while, and when I know that he is really as benevolent and righteous as the people in the rivers and lakes praise, and then mention Xiao Renxia's righteous deeds to him, presumably Xiao Renxia will not mind......

While Song Jiang was being entertained by Mu Hong and Mu Chun in Mujiazhuang, Jieyang Town, Xiao Tangzheng, who was far away in Bianjing, invited Luo Jian to his mansion to discuss matters such as preparing to go to Hedong to conquer the gangsters in troubled places, as well as selecting and training new soldiers.

Just like the famous words of Wei Xiaobao when he first met Zhao Liangdong, who had not yet made a career in Master Jin Yong's "The Legend of Deer and Ding": "Anyone who has no ability has to rely on sycophants to get promoted and make a fortune; Those who refuse to make sycophants must be capable people." Although Xiao Tang was reluctant to imitate Lord Nawei's character, he might not agree with this sentence, but he always remembered it very truly.

And Luo Jian's courage to face up to characters such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan in the original work stands to reason that he must have some real skills. After some talking, Xiao Tang also found that this scholar from the martial arts was familiar with the military books and classics handed down from all dynasties, and his views on the selection of generals and training, military strategy, and bow and horse science tests were also very unique.

It's just that in addition to discussing official affairs in detail, Luo Jian also talked about the power struggle surging in the court.

At this time, Luo Jian smiled again and said: "If it weren't for Xiao Jieshuai's 'resurrection from the dead', I don't know how long the sophomore in high school would be rampant in the Bianjing Military Division." Now, however, it seems that he has revealed his flaws. The official family is now also aware of the favor of the second year of high school, and I am afraid that he will lose his sacred heart from now on. And although he ranks first among the martial arts, he is just a self-styled martial arts dispatcher.

Not only are they different from other courtiers, but they also don't have any close officials in the court. If the second year of high school loses power, I am afraid that the vast majority of courtiers in the court will only gloat. Even among the officials and generals in the palace marshal's mansion, most of them are also forced by the power of the second year of high school, how can they share the same hatred with him? Xiao Jieshuai is now under the imperial order to work in Hedong, and when the war in the Song and Xia Dynasty resumes, it is also a good time to make a hundred feet of progress in the court and go further...... To fight the sophomore year of high school, it must not be difficult. ”

Xiao Tang has not yet gotten carried away because he has become a member of the second rank in the court, and although Luo Jian, who is not afraid of the power of the big traitor, has taken the initiative to show affection to himself, Xiao Tang has now discovered that this upright martial artist also has his own political tendencies. To put it bluntly, although Luo Jian is not willing to be complicit in the power and traitors of the DPRK and China, he approached Xiao Tang not because of any like-mindedness, but because he wanted to be brothers with Xiao Tang, and the relationship between the two of them can also be said to be a cooperative relationship in officialdom.

After Xiao Tang thought about it for a while, he replied to Luo Jian: "I and that old thief are indeed respected among the military officials and generals in Bianjing, but when you ask yourself, they are actually all thanks to the trust of the officials. Although most of the people who are willing to work for Gao Yu now are capricious and mercenary, although Gao Yu has been annoyed by the official family for a while, he cannot be said to have lost his favor.

Since most of our power comes from my Great Song Emperor, it is still unknown who will kill me and the old thief. Now my mind is not on him, as a court official, naturally I must also use my mind on how to calm the country's rebellion and banditry, and the government and the central government have taken care of those things that have been deceitful, isn't it putting the cart before the horse, and vain being a soldier? ”

Listening to Xiao Tang's words, Luo Jian couldn't help but secretly praise, and thought: Zheng Shumi really didn't misunderstand this Xiao Tang, he was highly rewarded by the court, and he was already the number one person in the court, but he was still not arrogant or impatient. And he also analyzed the reasons for his and Gao Yu's power in detail, but he had no intention of relying on ghosts, and did not forget the responsibility of the general, which was to win a higher reputation with his military exploits, and it was not in vain for me to help him in the court......

However, Zheng Shumi did not want his authority to be controlled by Cai Jing's traitor, and this Xiao Tang was more or less inseparable from the Cai family.

Luo Jian thought in his heart, and said with a smile: "The sophomore in high school, although he is a traitor who bends the law, but he can only use public weapons and persecute generals in the palace marshal of Bianjing...... It's just that Xiao Jieshuai has ever heard a folk nursery rhyme, singing: Breaking the bucket and splashing the vegetables is a good world in the world? ”
