Chapter Seventy-One: Descending Yellow Letters
Although Song Jiang was a little ashamed of Chao Yong's behavior of robbing people, he still said on his face: "It's late at night now, and the virtuous nephew is not as good as the right to go to Qingfeng Mountain to rest the horse." ”
Chao Yong also wanted to lure Huarong up the mountain, so he also led troops up the mountain at the moment.
Nothing to say for a night.
As soon as the sky was bright, Song Jiang took Hua Rong to invite Chao Yong, Lin Chong, and Qin Ming in person.
In the Juyi Hall where everyone arrived, Song Jiang had already asked people to set up a banquet.
During the meal, Song Jiang was embarrassed: "The virtuous nephew came from afar to work, and Song Jiang shouldn't have bothered everyone, but now Song Jiang has something to do, but he can't delay it, so he has to beg for it." ”
When Chao Yong heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "But for the sake of the family of Huazhizhai? ”
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Exactly, the people of Qingfeng Mountain saved me and the Huarong brothers before, but they were escaped by Huang Xin of the three mountains of that town, and after he went back, he stuck to Qingfeng Village, and the families of the Huarong brothers were also trapped in Qingfeng Village." Qingfeng Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we want to take back the family of the Huarong brothers, but the soldiers are outnumbered, so I want to ask the virtuous nephew to help me and others. ”
Chao Yong looked at Hua Rong and stared at him nervously, and said with a smile: "I have also heard that Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong is famous, and it turns out that he is also very righteous. What do you want to say about this matter, without further ado, I will wait for this to order troops to save the family of the Huarong brothers. ”
Seeing that Chao Yong agreed to help so happily, Hua Rong couldn't help but be grateful: "Brother Yong's great kindness, Hua Rong thanked him first." ”
Qin Ming was worried that he didn't have the gift of seeing him, and said with a smile: "Why do you need a labor army in this matter, Qin Ming can make a contribution by going alone." One is Huang Xin's command, and the other is Huang Xin's martial arts. Brother Yong'er just eats and drinks here, and I go alone, when he can be said to come in, he will bring the family of Huazhizhai by the way. ”
Chao Yong smiled: "In that case, that's the best." But now that he is an official, you are a bandit, and we have to guard against it. In this way, we will also lead the troops to go later, and if you don't come out for half an hour, I will lead the troops to break the Qingfeng Village. ”
Although Qin Ming felt that there was no need for this, he saw that Chao Yong was also thinking about himself, so he gave up.
However, it was said that after Huang Xin fled to Qingfeng Village, he lit up the soldiers and horses in the village, watched out at dawn, and waited for the soldiers and horses from Qingzhou to come to help. This said, when he was inspecting various important places, a soldier from the village came to report: "The chief Qin outside the village came alone and called to open the gate of the village." ”
Although Huang Xin was puzzled, after all, he was Shangguan and a teacher of art, so he hurried to the gate of the village, and saw that it was indeed Qin Ming, so he immediately opened the gate of the village and welcomed Qin Ming in.
In the hall where the two entered, Huang Xin saw the salute, Qin Ming sent his troops to attack Qingfeng Mountain, carelessly fell into Song Jiang's strategy, lost his troops and was captured alive by Song Jiang, and Song Jiang sent someone to pretend to lead Qingfeng Mountain's minions to attack Qingzhou, kill the people, and kill his family. Unfortunately, Chao Yong, the little overlord of Liangshan, learned that he led his troops to intercept and kill the brocade-haired tiger Yanshun and the short-legged tiger Wang Ying, who were doing evil under the city, and chased them to Qingfeng Mountain to call the battle.
At the end, he said: "I have now joined the gang in Liangshan, Liangshan Chao Tianwang is magnanimous, and there are many heroes and heroes on the mountain. They do great things for the heavens. You have no family, why don't you go to Liangshan with me to gather righteousness and do a career, so as not to be angry with those civil officials. I have been fighting for the imperial court for many years, and I have been in charge all the way, but I also have to be bound by that civil official, but I hate that dog official who has no eyes and has no beads, and he fell into Song Jiang's plan, and easily harmed my family. ”
Huang Xin said: "Since the encumbersome official instructed, how dare Huang Xin disobey." It's just that I have heard that Song Jiang is benevolent and righteous, how did he do it all the way with Qingfeng Mountain Caokou, and came up with such a poisonous plan. ”
Qin Ming thought of his family, gritted his teeth and said: "This guy only said that it was not his intention, Hua Rong and the others were confused by his reputation, and I couldn't do it alone." He is the Yuncheng Tiger Zhang San you escorted earlier. ”
Huang Xin sighed: "I knew that he would harm the whole family of Enguan, so I ended him on the way." ”
When Qin Ming heard this, he shook his head and said: "I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, I only heard of him in the name of timely rain before, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless." ”
The two sighed for a while, and when they were discussing how to bring the soldiers of Qingfeng Village into the gang together, they heard a report from the soldiers of the village, and a group of soldiers and horses came to Qingfeng Village.
Qin Ming knew that it was Chao Yong who brought someone to answer, and immediately led Huang Xin out to greet him.
When everyone came in to see the ceremony, Song Jiang said: "I hate Liu Gao's woman, I was kind enough to save her, but I was avenged by her general, and almost killed me and Hua Rong." And please allow me to bring someone to kill her to relieve my hatred. ”
Chao Yong naturally knew that Song Jiang had to report his surname, and after Song Jiang was denounced by Huang Wenbing in Jiangzhou in the Water Margin, Chao Gai and others risked their lives to rescue Song Jiang. Jiangzhou is already heavily guarded, and if it is an ordinary person, it can only endure this breath first, and then find an opportunity to take revenge. But Song Jiang asked everyone to ignore the danger and go to fight the Wuwei Army to kill Huang Wenbing, just to vent his evil anger for him.
From Chao Yong's point of view, although Liu Gao's wife denounced Song Jiang and was ungrateful, the two were already one official and one bandit, and it would not be advisable to ignore the national law because of their gratitude.
Although Chao Yong felt that Liu Gao's wife was not guilty of death, in the eyes of everyone, such an ungrateful person must be killed. After all, an official of the imperial court like Hua Rong knew that Song Jiang had committed a crime and absconded, and he dared to cover it up, which can be described as righteousness first for everyone.
Chao Yong had no choice but to say helplessly: "Since Third Uncle Song insists on this, Chao Yong is not easy to stop, but he must not kill innocents indiscriminately." Qingfeng Mountain's minions are lawless, and Third Uncle Song has to be more restrained. ”
Song Jiang agreed, and Zheng Tianshou took Qingfeng Mountain's minions to Nanzhai.
Hua Rong was worried about his family, so he also quit and went to Beizhai to move in with the old and young.
After the two of them left, Chao Yong felt uneasy again, and said to Chao San: "You take a team of personal soldiers to Nanzhai to inspect, if Qingfeng Mountain's minions kill innocents indiscriminately, you must stop them." ”
Chao San responded and went.
Lin Chong also felt that Chao Yong had already instructed Song Jiang, and it was a bit too much to do this again.
But not long after, one of Chao Yong's personal soldiers came to report, saying that Zheng Tianshou led people to kill Liu Gaoman's old and young, but fortunately they went quickly and stopped them.
When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not Song Jiang's original intention this time." ”
Lin Chong also heard Chao Yong's sarcasm, remembering that he had helped Song Jiang speak last night, and couldn't help but be embarrassed: "In the past, I only heard that Song Gongming was righteous and squandered money, and I didn't want to kill the surname so much. ”
Not long after, Song Jiang also came back with Zheng Tianshou, and sure enough, he deduced that Zheng Tianshou hated the woman for being ungrateful and almost did something wrong.
Soon Hua Rong also packed up and brought his family to come.
Chao Yong said: "Previously, the people and horses of Qingfeng Mountain killed and injured many people, and the prefect of Qingzhou must ask the imperial army to encircle and suppress it, I see that Qingfeng Mountain is just a lonely mountain, if it is surrounded by officials and soldiers on all sides, it will not take a while, and it will be out of food." If Uncle Song and Hua Zhizhai have nowhere else to go, it is better to go to Liangshan with me. My Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, and I have 800 miles of water to hide, and I am not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers. ”
Although Song Jiang was a little reluctant, thinking that what Chao Yong said was also reasonable, he had no choice but to say: "Then I will take refuge in Liangshan and follow King Chao Tianwang to do a career." ”
(Personally, I think Song Jiang is reluctant to go to Liangshan at this time.) In the Water Margin, Yan Shun saw Song Jiang for the first time and said that Liangshan was very prosperous and gave Song Jiang the best. It can be seen that according to the understanding of the people in the rivers and lakes in the Water Margin, Song Jiang is at least the lord of half of Liangshan, and Song Jiang also understands it in this way, so he will go to great lengths to collect people from Liangshan. So I think Song Jiang is unwilling to be subservient at this time, of course, he won't go to Liangshan at this time, hehe)
