() Of course it was Shi Xiu and the others who lit the fire. This guy is a typical person who is afraid of chaos in the world. He usually gets along better with Song Qing. Now that Song Qing has delegated power to him, why don’t they make matters worse?

After running and setting fire all the way, Chen Dong couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't know who saved him yet, but seeing this kind of behavior, it was definitely not a good idea, and he immediately separated from Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu also felt a little embarrassed. Song Qing only said to protect this person, but did not let him take him back. If something happened to this kid along the way, wouldn't he be violating Song Qing's instructions? But this kid is so verbose, it's really

He was so annoying that he had no choice but to agree to let him leave, but secretly sent someone to follow him to prevent him from having another accident.

Fires ignited everywhere, causing complete chaos in the inner city. The officers and soldiers did not know who set the fire, but they also understood that someone was deliberately causing trouble, so they also began to arrest people.

Those who are honest and obedient will be kept where they are and are not allowed to move. Those who struggle and resist will be taken away with fists and kicks at the least, or executed on the spot at worst.

After a bloody suppression, the chaos in the capital was finally under control at dawn. However, several commercial streets that used to be extremely prosperous in Japan have been changed beyond recognition after the chaos and fire. I don’t know how to survive.

How long does it take to regain the original appearance.

Zhao Huan was also anxious, thinking that the matter would be resolved satisfactorily, but who would have thought it would turn out like this? He issued a death order to the Kaifeng Mansion and the patrolling army, quickly quelled the chaos, and severely punished the troublemakers.

All of a sudden, a large group of imperial guards moved in, blocking the city gates and streets, and then started searching house to house.

When the fire first broke out, Song Qing knew that something had changed and immediately sneaked back to his residence. When Shi Xiu brought people back, Song Qing knew the whole story and didn't know how he felt for a while.

His original intention was just to cause some trouble for Liang Shicheng and others so that they would have no time to take care of him. But he had no intention of causing trouble to the people of the capital. Now it would be better, if people knew that he was the mastermind behind this matter, he would not be scolded.

Death? Besides, it’s hard to live with your conscience!

Fortunately, Shi Xiu did the right thing, that is, he did not bring Chen Dong back, otherwise it would be difficult to keep the secret secret. It seems that the discipline of his brothers should be improved.

Shi Xiu originally thought that Song Qing would praise him, but when he saw Song Qing's unkind expression, he couldn't help but feel worried, and quickly retreated in dejection.

Song Qing was the only one left in the room. He saw the sky outside the window getting brighter and brighter, but his heart seemed to be clouded. After such a big event, the prince might not have time to meet with him again.

At this moment, Yang Zhi suddenly walked in with a serious look on his face.

"Erlang, there is another large group of officers and soldiers outside, much more than last time. After surrounding us, they have no intention of attacking immediately. What should we do? Should we rush out now before they are ready?

Song Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, how far can these few people run if they rush out? It is better not to make unnecessary sacrifices and wait and see first!

Song Qing understood in his heart that when the students and people were marching, a lot of people came out of his place just now, and then such a big thing happened. It’s strange that the government didn’t doubt him! But if he wanted to escape again, he would definitely have to increase the number of people.

A lot of difficulty.

This time was different from last time. Song Qing strictly ordered the brothers not to provoke and avoid conflicts with the officers and soldiers.

Just as Song Qing thought, although a large number of officers and soldiers were temporarily deployed outside the residence just now, the surveillance of Song Qing did not relax. Although Song Qing's true whereabouts were not known, he did see people coming in and out.

This place in Song Qing Dynasty was not the home of ordinary officials. The great eunuch Liang Shicheng almost died here when he came. Who else would dare to come?

But such a big thing happened, and the people of Liangshan were the most suspicious, so the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the place, but they did not break in immediately to search, but reported it layer by layer, and finally reported it to the prince.

As for the old emperor, after being angry at the beginning of the chaos, when he heard that the situation was under control, he immediately became a hands-off shopkeeper and went to practice cultivation by himself, leaving this big mess to his son. According to the old emperor's idea, who

Let him be the prince! If he doesn’t do much, who will?

After hearing the report, Zhao Huan also felt worried. His intuition told him that this matter was probably done by people from Song Qing. However, he could not act rashly without any evidence, not to mention that Song Qing still treated him badly.

It's very useful. You can't destroy him just because of such a small thing, but you still have to give him a beating. Otherwise, he will always be so lawless and will get himself into big trouble sooner or later.

But why did Song Qing do this? What good would it do to him? Zhao Huan was puzzled.

At this time, there was a commotion inside and outside Song Qing's mansion. The imperial army came well prepared this time. They not only mobilized elite soldiers and generals, but also brought large crossbows, rockets and fire caltrops.

These Imperial Guards are all holding back their anger. They were bullied like this by the Liangshan bandits at their doorstep. They are really too cowardly. This time, they will try to get the situation back no matter what.

Seeing this posture, Song Qing's heart was in a state of confusion. Could it be that the old emperor and the prince had seen through him? They were really going to die.

All the heroes in Liangshan didn't notice anything, except for the hammer. Didn't that person crawl out from the pile of dead people? At most, he died. It was just that he couldn't send Song Qing back to the mountain safely, and it was inevitable that he felt regretful.

Little did they know that this kid, Tie Hammer, was also a militant by nature. He had a pair of bull's-eyes and a ready-to-try attitude, ready to go out and do something big at any time.

At this tense moment, a fast horse galloped over. After revealing his identity to the imperial guards outside, he took out an order and said something to the general leading the troops. He saw that the general leading the troops was unwilling to do anything.

I wish to withdraw with my troops.

Yang Zhi, who was guarding the door, had seen this man. He was the man sent by the prince to deliver the message last time.

After the imperial troops withdrew, the man jumped off his horse and walked towards the gate.

Although he is a member of the government, he is also someone who has helped twice. The heroes of Liangshan have clear grievances and grudges.

Yang Zhi took a few steps forward and cupped his hands and said: "My friends have invited me, and Liangshan Yang Zhi is polite."

The visitor also raised his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Lieutenant Colonel He Yunlong, please see General Song. Your Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you a few words to General Song."

Although his words were polite, his aura was a bit overwhelming. I think he was used to being flattered by the prince, and everyone looked like this.

Yang Zhi felt a little hot and cold, but he didn't tolerate him. He snorted and asked him to wait outside the door while he went in to report the news.

This arrogant He Yunlong was so angry that he saved them from the siege no matter what. He didn't even say a word of thanks and he was so awesome. I wonder how awesome the Imperial Army would be if they really broke in.

Are you getting up?

Hearing that the officers and soldiers had finally withdrawn, Song Qing let out a sigh of relief and said to himself, "This is really not the right person to treat!" After all this tossing and going, I will definitely have a heart attack.

The orderer invited He Yunlong in. Even Song Qing could guess what the prince wanted to say to him.

When He Yunlong saw Song Qing, thinking about the anger he received outside the door, he was inevitably angry. Although his words were polite, he was obviously distant.

Just as Song Qing thought, the prince just told him to keep a low profile and not to cause trouble for himself, otherwise he would not be able to protect him, etc.

Song Qing could not be as knowledgeable as Yang Zhi, so he expressed his gratitude to He Yunlong and asked him to convey his gratitude to the prince. Of course, he also wanted to express his determination.

Then he changed the topic and said: "There is a message from the mountain saying that my brother is not in good health recently. He asked me to find some famous doctors in the capital and buy some expensive medicinal materials. However, I feel that the things sold on the street are not very reliable.

, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince can help me with this. After the matter is completed, Liangshan will definitely not forget the kindness of the Prince."

As the prince's confidant, He Yunlong knew something about this matter, and of course he could understand what Song Qing was referring to. Although Song Qing's attitude made him feel a lot better, he was not the one who could make the final decision on such a big matter.

of.

He cupped his fists and said, "Please don't worry, General Song. I will definitely bring General Song's words to His Highness the Crown Prince. At the same time, I also believe that Leader Song will have God's help, and his condition will definitely get better. By the way, Your Highness the Crown Prince has one more thing to do."

I would like to ask you, this is the last military pay that General Song promised to the court. I wonder when it will arrive?"

Auspicious person? The auspicious person in your mouth must be the sinister villain Zhao Huan.

“Thank you for your kind words”

Song Qing then frowned again and said, "I have one more request regarding military pay. I hope you can convey it to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Please say"

"I am not the owner of the village, but now I am an official of the imperial court, but my brother is still white. There have been many complaints about this from everyone in the village. I am thinking that the military pay has not arrived for a long time, which may be related to this. I hope that the prince

Your Highness is aware of it.”

It turned out that this was the case. He Yunlong understood that Song Qing was seeking an official position for his brother!

He smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, General Song. I will bring General Song's thoughts to His Royal Highness. General Song is waiting for good news!"

After He Yunlong got the answer he wanted and left, Song Qing's heart dropped temporarily, but then he thought of Shi Xiu's behavior.

The heroes of Liangshan put loyalty first, putting promises before life and death. This is a good thing, but his discipline is not strong and he does not pay enough attention to the life and death of the people. Although he is responsible for this matter, most of it is Shi Xiu's unauthorized act.

If you want to build an invincible iron army, you must first have iron discipline. As long as you can follow orders and prohibitions, Liangshan's strength will surely reach a higher level.

Although people's lives are like grass in troubled times, Song Qing deeply understood the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize it. If Liangshan wants to gain a foothold in troubled times, it cannot do without ordinary people.

Therefore, after returning to the mountain, you must tell Song Jiang these two ideas, and take advantage of the chaos before the world to build Liangshan into an iron army with strict discipline and love for the people.
