Chapter 21: Visitors from Beyond the Mountains
() Song Qing is getting married.
After returning to the mountain in victory, Wu Yong confessed to Song Qing that Song Jiang might return in the near future. Song Qing was already prepared for this. The current crisis in Liangshan had passed, and he seemed to have completed his mission.
In fact, after talking to Gongsun Sheng once, Song Qing had completely let go of the burden in his heart. He had done everything he should and could do, and the rest was time to enjoy life.
Song Qing is a very normal man, and he is still in the prime of life. He spends all day with a beautiful girl, and the two of them are deeply in love. If this continues, Song Qing is afraid that something will go wrong.
After returning home from victory in Jeju and the heroes were drinking celebratory wine, Song Qing asked Lin Chong to marry him in front of everyone.
The damselfly saved Song Qing's life and took good care of him. Song Qing loved and was grateful to the damselfly in his heart, so he wanted to give the damselfly a beautiful wedding and let everyone know how much he loved the damselfly.
pet.
Although some people criticized Song Qing in private, after these incidents, they all had to admit that Song Qing was a far-sighted, smart and capable leader. More people even believed that Song Qing was more suitable to be the boss of Liangshan.
So when they heard that Song Qing wanted to marry Lin Chong's apprentice, the heroes once again became excited and stepped forward to congratulate Song Qing and Lin Chong.
At present, most of the heroes in Liangshan do not know about Song Jiang, so when they heard that Song Qing was getting married, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts. After the banquet ended happily, they all went back to think about what kind of gifts to prepare for Song Qing.
After the news of Song and Qing's marriage spread, Liangshan and Liangshan became busy again. It was like a festival, with everyone's faces beaming with joy and praise everywhere, and the whole Liangshan was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Song Qing's current residence is also decorated. In the eyes of the heroes of Liangshan, what is the emperor? If Song Qing had not said that rebellion could not be carried out, Song Qing's home would have been built like the imperial palace.
There are still a few days until the wedding. According to custom, the damselflies cannot meet Song Qing before they get married, so they have moved back to Lin Chong's place. Although there are still many servants to serve Song Qing, without the damselflies around, Song Qing
Qing always felt like something was missing.
While everyone outside was busy with Song Qing's wedding, Song Qing was leisurely wandering around Liangshan. Except for the eight guards who stayed with him, only Zhu Fu was with him.
Zhu Fu already knew the news about Song Jiang from Song Qing's mouth. This news was not a good thing for him. With his relationship with Song Qing, he could call the shots in Liangshan, but once Song Jiang came back, he would still have the current treatment
? The answer is obvious, because Song Jiang didn't like to see him that much before.
Song Qing could clearly see the general trend, so he could let go of power, but that didn't mean that Zhu Fu could do the same. However, Zhu Fu knew that there were some things he couldn't say. If Song Qing left a too gloomy impression, his good life would be at risk.
It's really over.
He walked with Song Qing for a while, looked around, and said softly to Song Qing: "According to Erlang's wishes, the inner guard has almost been formed. If Dalang comes back, should I tell him about this?"
Zhu Fu's tone was full of temptation. How could Song Qing not hear it? He pondered for a moment and said: "If my brother really comes back, don't tell him about it yet. In fact, I have thought about this matter for a long time, not that I have thought about it."
I intentionally concealed it from him, but I think Liangshan is very lacking in this aspect. You should make up for this deficiency and wait until you have achieved certain results before telling him. I believe that by then, my brother will look at you differently."
After speaking, he patted Zhu Fu on the shoulder with a smile, and then continued to walk forward.
It can be said that Song Qing's words were all for Zhu Fuzai's sake. Zhu Fu was secretly grateful, cupping his fists and saying: "Don't worry, Erlang, Lao Zhu knows what to do."
Looking at Song Qing's back, Zhu Fu instantly made a decision in his heart: "The position of Liangshan must be held by Erlang, and no one can stop him. If someone blocks him, he will be killed, and if Buddha blocks him, he will kill Buddha."
Song Qing knew Zhu Fu's thoughts. While walking in the mountains and forests, his thoughts had already drifted to the damselfly.
"The little girl is obviously very shy. Every time I say some naughty words to tease her, she just stays by my side with a red face and refuses to leave. It makes people's hearts feel weird. It's a pity that I'm allowed to look at her but not touch her until we get married.
, where are you still running?"
Although Song Qing couldn't defeat the damselfly, if Song Qing insisted on having the damselfly, the damselfly would have obeyed given her gentle temperament. However, Song Qing loved her so much that he couldn't bear to make her sad.
When Song Qing was full of thoughts, a guard came to him quickly. Seeing Song Qing's sly smile, the guard thought that the boss was thinking about something important, so he didn't dare to disturb him until Song Qing came back to his senses.
: "There is a group of northern businessmen outside the mountain who heard that the leader was getting married. They came here to give gifts and wanted to see the leader."
Song Qing was stunned, "Northern merchants? Apart from people from this mountain, what northern merchants do I know? Are they here to pay protection fees? You come to me for such a trivial matter."
"Let Mrs. Gu and the others make arrangements. Why do you want to see me?"
The guard bowed and said: "Leader Sun Xin felt that the other party had a lot of background and had given him a heavy gift, so he did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he ordered the villain to come and report to the big boss for his decision."
"A big gift? What a big gift?"
What kind of gold, silver and jewelry are there on Liangshan? Song Qing is now used to treasures.
"Captain Sun didn't say anything about gold or silver. He only said that the other party sent two hundred horses as a gift."
"Horse" Song Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
You must know that since the Sixteenth State of Yanyun was not under the control of the Song Dynasty, it can be said that there was no source of war horses at all. Horses were scarce in the Central Plains. This group of businessmen was so generous that they actually sold two hundred horses.
Coming from the north. What do they want to do?
Song Qing's eyes narrowed.
Regardless of his purpose, Song Qing could do without other things, but he could not do without horses. He first ordered Chai Jin to put the horse gifts into the warehouse, and then invited people to come to Zhongyi Hall to wait for tea. At the same time, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others were invited.
Zhongyi Hall, there will be people coming with him.
Before entering Zhongyi Hall, several unfamiliar faces outside the door first caught Song Qing's eyes.
I saw four burly people with stern faces standing at the steps of Zhongyi Hall. On the steps were the guards guarding Zhongyi Hall. However, compared with these four people, the guards of Zhongyi Hall were obviously not good enough, regardless of their temperament.
Still in terms of image, I was immediately compared to others.
Song Qing didn't like this feeling, so he came to demonstrate? Liangshan was not afraid of you. He turned around and ordered people to call the flower monks Lu Zhishen and Li Kui.
Let's see who is more vicious.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng had already arrived and were talking to the two young men.
The man on the left has a tall build and a rugged face. The most impressive thing about him is his slender eyes. His agile gaze gives people a feeling of extreme clarity.
Standing next to him is a thin person with delicate facial features and fair skin. Anyone who is not a fool can tell at a glance that this is a woman disguised as a man.
When Song Qing walked in, these two people also looked at Song Qing with good eyes.
In the man's eyes, Song Qing could feel surprise and a hint of contempt.
The woman's gaze was different. If Song Qing had expected it well, she should be surprised.
Is it a sin for a person to be handsome? Song Qing secretly cursed.
The man's surprise was obviously because Song Qing was too young. After Wu Yong introduced Song Qing to him, he introduced himself as Wang Bao. He did not hide anything from his sister who was disguised as a man, and directly told Song Qing that her sister's name was Wang Ke'er. Then.
Another round of useless polite words.
When Wang Bao was frothing at the mouth, Song Qing just listened with a smile, without checking the conversation or expressing an opinion. It wasn't until Wang Bao's mouth became dry and he picked up the tea that he suddenly said: "Send two
Go to the inn to rest.”
Of course, Wang Bao didn't just bring gifts to Song Qing, but he didn't expect that Song Qing would send them off without even asking. He just stood there holding the tea, not knowing what to say.
Wu Yong and others also guessed that the purpose of these two people's coming was definitely not that simple, but they also did not expect that Song Qing would send these two people away like this.
The scene was a bit tense. Wang Keer, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Don't you, Chief Song, want to ask us where we are from and why we are here?"
Song Qing was right about one thing. Wang Keer came from outside the Great Wall, and all he saw were stout and bearded men. There was a man like Song Qing who was handsome and unrestrained, and at the same time he had the aura of a superior person.
So when I first saw Song Qing, I looked at Song Qing with good eyes.
Faced with Wang Keer's eyes that were constantly flashing, Song Qing was completely indifferent. It's not that Song Qing was not good at sex, but for a man who was about to get married, he only had the woman who was going to be his bride in his mind, and there was no room for anything else.
woman.
He turned to look at Wang Keer and said calmly: "Liangshan welcomes friends from all over the world, but never welcomes people with ulterior motives. Thank you for your gifts. If you want to attend my wedding, welcome, don't talk about anything else."
Wang Bao was an undisputed leader in his country. He had encountered someone like Song Qing who didn't take him seriously. He slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily: "Don't think you have fought a few times in Liangshan."
You can be arrogant even if you win the battle. That’s because you haven’t met a real iron army. Do you know who we are? How dare you speak to us like this?”
The identities of these two people can be somewhat guessed by the Song and Qing Dynasties. The most powerful people in the north are currently the Liao and the Jin. The Liao is now beaten to pieces by the Jin, and only a few are left to survive. There should be no Xianxin faction.
When people come out, only the Kingdom of Jin is left.
Liangshan had strong soldiers and strong horses, defeated the imperial army six times, and was close to Kaifeng. If Liangshan could be instigated to rebel, it would be of great benefit to Da Jin in attacking the Central Plains in the future, but it was a pity that they found the wrong person.
The Song and Qing Dynasties dared to do anything, but they did not dare to be Han Jian.
While talking, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Li Kui walked in quickly.
Song Qing ignored Wang Bao at all, pointed at Wang Bao and Wang Ke'er and said to Lu Zhishen and others: "These two people want to live in the mountain for a while. Of the four outside, leave one to go back and report the news, and you can handle the rest by yourselves."
"
"By the way, tell the one who put it back, I want ten thousand war horses, otherwise I will wait to collect the corpses of these two people!"
Song Qing didn't know the true identities of these two people, they were just the lion's mouth.
"Song Qing, we came here to give you gifts with good intentions, but you treat us like this. Aren't you afraid that the heroes in the world will laugh at you?"
Wang Bao pointed at Song Qing and shouted angrily, if Zhongyitang hadn't been unable to carry weapons, he would have drawn his sword and rushed over to fight Song Qing desperately.
Guards had already rushed over to protect Song Qing. Wu Song stood beside Song Qing, while Lu Zhishen and Li Kui happily went out to deal with those people.
For them, the most satisfying thing is killing people.
Song Qing ignored the Wang brothers and sisters, walked a few steps outside, suddenly turned around and said to Wang Bao: "Whether I am a hero or not is not up to you to judge. You seem to have forgotten that I am a bandit myself. You can't reason with the bandits."
What’s wrong?”
