Chapter 351 Breaking into the Tiger's Lair and Merging Liang Shansi
Ruan Xiaoqi curled his lips, and finally made a scary face with a strong murderous intent towards the boy from a distance, which frightened the boy and took three steps back. Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing and just stood there obediently. He went behind the scenes, not trying to intimidate or play with the child.
At this time, Chao Gai opened the lid of the bamboo basket in his hand. Everyone looked inside and saw four cups inside. The cups were filled with clear and transparent solution, either water or wine. In addition, there is an object that makes everyone look at it and be puzzled. It is a necklace with a bunch of feathers flying around.
"What... does this mean?" Chao Gai also looked confused.
Shi Jin swung his sleeve and wrapped it tightly around his right hand, carefully picked up one of the cups and looked at it carefully inside and out. However, no matter where he checked, he could not see any slander on the cup. Shi Jin bravely picked up those traces of heresy, and as expected, there were no signs of poisoning. After Shi Jin came closer and took a sniff, he took a small piece of broken silver from his arms and put it inside. He came to a conclusion and said: "It's just a simple cup of water."
"Water," everyone took turns taking it and taking a look. The silver had no trace of poison and was colorless and tasteless. It was definitely water.
"What on earth does this mean? Are you traveling thousands of miles just to bring us a glass of water?" Ruan Xiaowu held it in his hand and couldn't help but mocked: "That guy is too stingy, four glasses of water."
Wu Yong looked at the four glasses of water, thoughtfully.
Shi Jin picked up the feather necklace again and said, "If you say he is stingy, then doesn't this necklace prove that he is stingy?"
"That's right, if we give him a box of treasures, he will give back a necklace made of this feather. He looks down on our brother so much. He really thinks that grandpa is so easy to get rid of," Ruan Xiaowu said.
"It's too much to bully people." Ruan Xiaoer became a little angry when he heard this: "I don't keep my grandfather here, I have my own place to keep him. Why should they be so disgusting and offend my grandfather? Tomorrow they will chop off his two ears and string them together." Just play with a necklace,"
The young man standing cowering at the door could not help but feel frightened when he heard this. Tebi looked at Ruan Xiaoer's murderous aura, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, Chao Gai walked up to the young man, tried his best to appear as kind as possible, and said: "Little brother, you are here to see me, you don't have to be afraid, no one here will hurt you, why don't you tell me..." …”
Before Chao Gai finished speaking, Shi Jin came forward and said, "Brother, don't bother talking to him. He won't tell you anything you say."
Chao Gai raised his head and looked at Shi Jin with some confusion. Shi Jin took a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the young man's hand with a smile. He patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for the message. It’s hard tonight, little brother, please go back first,”
The young man took the money into his hand, kowtowed to Shi Jin and Chao Gai in flattery, then opened the door and ran away.
After the door was closed again by the brothers guarding outside, the brothers in the room all turned their attention to the strange objects in the basket.
"No need to make random guesses. That guy Wang Lun has no intention of playing tricks on us. He wants our lives." As soon as Shi Jin said this, the room fell silent. Everyone looked at Shi Jin, waiting for him to continue.
At this time, Wu Yong walked up to everyone with a smile while holding his beard, and took over the conversation: "It seems that Brother Shi Jin also saw the metaphor in this,"
"I think this must be someone sent by Zhu Gui. We still need to be careful," Shi Jin said.
"What does this mean and what's going on?" Gongsun Sheng, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Wu Yong took over the conversation, pointed to the four glasses of water and said: "These four glasses of water allude to 'Sishui'. I couldn't figure it out at first, but what is that string of feather necklaces on my body? Isn't it? 'Xiang Yu', then go back and see Surabaya, doesn't it refer to Liu Bang, the 'Pavilion Chief of Surabaya'? What does this Yu plus Liu Bang mean?"
"The Hongmen Banquet is more dangerous than good," Shi Jin took over the conversation at this time and said, "So, Zhu Gui pointed out a way for us."
"What way?" Chao Gai asked.
"It's all on that boy's leg. The difference between the word ' Zhao' and the word 'Chao' is one '日'. Isn't this just like cutting off 'Chao''s head and not seeing the sun tomorrow?" Shi When Jin said this, everyone suddenly became enlightened. Shi Jin added: "And the word ' Zhao ' is written on the young man's calf. When the young man walks, doesn't it mean that there is a word 'Zhao' added under ' Zhao '? This is Zhu Gui wants to tell us the way to escape."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood that the weirdness of this basket was actually a metaphor to save everyone's lives.
"Tomorrow's Hongmen Banquet, we have to escape tonight," Wu Yong said, looking at everyone.
"Is there the only way to escape?" Chao Gai was a little overwhelmed by what Wu Yong said, and asked quickly: "If we escape from Liangshan now, wouldn't we become the second 'Yang Zhi', let alone the government?" We will gather a large army to encircle and suppress, even in the rivers and lakes, there are people who don’t want to take advantage of the situation. Now that we have escaped from Liangshan overnight, where should we go to live?"
Wu Yong shook his head slightly and said, "There is a way to escape."
"There are ways to stay," Shi Jin said at this time while pacing.
Everyone followed Chao Gai and all their eyes fell on Shi Jin. Chao Gai asked: "Brother Shi Jin, how did you get a stay in France?"
Shi Jin smiled, walked past Wu Yong, patted Wu Yong on the shoulder, looked at Chao Gai and said: "Brother Chao, Wu Xuexue has already said the method, and the fire will reach Liangshan."
"Now go up the mountain and kill," the three Ruan clan heroes said in unison.
Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Since the eldest brother is determined not to leave and wants to secure this territory, then we can go to the banquet tomorrow. We won't say much else. We will follow what we agreed on before. But, tomorrow If you want to go up the mountain again, it won't be as easy as it is today. I'm afraid it won't be easy if you just step on the edge of a knife."
Ruan Sanxiong said: "Go up to the Mountain of Knives and go down to the Sea of Fire. With Brother Shi and the rest of us here, there are still places that we can't go to."
"When tomorrow comes, fighting with ruthlessness will be secondary. The most important thing is instigating rebellion and timing. If you fail to instigate rebellion and the time is not available, ruthless fighting will only cost your life. If you fail to instigate rebellion, when the time comes, fighting with ruthlessness will still lead to internal friction. Only if you succeed in instigating rebellion and the time has come, you will lose your life. That's fine if we continue to fight fiercely," Shi Jin said, and Wu Yong looked at each other and smiled silently at each other.
"How to instigate rebellion?"
"Xiaosheng has his own way. Nothing will happen tonight. Brothers, why not go to bed early and recuperate for the banquet tomorrow," Wu Yong said, made a ceremony, and left with everyone.
The seven people rested that night.
At dawn the next day, a disciple of the Chao family reported: "A leader named Lin Chong from Liangshan came to visit."
After hearing this, everyone put down their morning tea and stood up one after another.
Wu Yong said to Chao Gai and others: "As expected, this man came to investigate."
Chao Gai asked: "How do you know this, sir?"
Wu Yong said simply: "Zhu Gui had to use such complicated tricks to report the news last night. It can be seen that the situation in this village has changed. We slept peacefully all night. I am afraid that Wang Lun has been busy all night. Wang Lun will regard Lin Chong as a Outsiders may not be allowed to participate in it, but when Lin Chong gets up today, he may not see the changes in this stronghold, so he will definitely come down first to tell him, "
After hearing this, Chao Gai hurriedly came out with the other seven people to greet him, and invited Lin Chong inside the guest house outside.
Wu Yong stepped forward and thanked him: "We are really flattered that the Fourth Master came to visit us personally."
Lin Chong said: "Don't be polite. Xiaoke wanted to visit me yesterday, but it was already late. I was afraid of losing my respect, so I came here today to ask for forgiveness."
Chao Gai said: "Although we are not talented, we are not grass and trees. The leader's love is wrong. We know in our hearts that we have heard the name of the leader for a long time. We don't want to meet here today. It is really a lifetime blessing."
Chao Gai repeatedly asked Lin Chong to sit up, but Lin Chong was not willing to accept it. He pushed Chao Gai to sit on the head, and then Lin Chong sat down on the bottom. Shi Jin, Wu Yong and other seven people also sat down.
Lin Chong got to the point directly and said: "When Xiao Ke was in Tokyo, he heard that there was an extraordinary heroic man in Huayin County. When I got up today and met Zhu Gui, I learned that Shi Jin was also here at the moment. , If I can see your face today, it will be regarded as fulfilling my lifelong wish, so I came here to pay my respects."
When Shi Jin heard this, he quickly stood up and thanked him: "Teacher Lin's words are serious. I am a mountain man in the countryside below. I am deeply grateful and sincerely frightened."
After hearing this, Lin Chong quickly stood up and bowed to him. The two made room for each other and then sat back down. Only then did Lin Chong look at Qi Shi as he came in. He just felt that this man was so heroic and handsome that he was not an ordinary person.
Lin Chong looked at Shi Jin and asked: "Since Brother Shi is here, why don't you meet him with his true face? Why did you deny that he was the prince yesterday?"
Shi Jin looked into Lin Chong's eyes sincerely and said: "Speaking of which, you and I have a close relationship. My master, who I believe you are most familiar with, is none other than Wang Jin. I have heard my master mention it many times. "You, I have no choice but to go up the mountain this time. I want to avoid the limelight here before going to Huayin County. However, I am afraid that Wang Lun will not take him in, so I keep my name anonymous."
Lin Chong was surprised when he heard this, and said quickly: "It turns out that Brother Shi is actually General Wang's apprentice. No wonder it's so amazing. Xiao Ke was General Wang's deputy at that time. This steel spear was probably given by General Wang." To remind you, since he had a disagreement with Gao Qiu and fled overnight, I have no news about him. I think about him day and night, but I have no chance to see him again. I wonder how General Wang is doing now."
Shi Jin sighed and said: "My master doesn't want to get involved in the world. According to his plan, he went to Yan'an, Lao Zhongjinglue. It was several months apart and I did these things and it was difficult to see him." Shi Jin After saying this, he sighed and changed the subject: "My lord, I have heard for a long time that the leader was very heroic in Tokyo. I don't know why he was at odds with Gao Qiu, and was framed here. Later, I heard that my brother was also arrested in Cangzhou. The army's fodder yard was burned down, and I don't know who recommended him to the mountain."
Lin Chong let out a long sigh and said: "When I talk about the thief Gao Qiu, my blood rushes. I wish I could tear that guy in half. Unfortunately, I can't avenge this sworn enemy, and I am framed along the way. I had no choice but to come here to stay, and it was all thanks to the support of Chai Daguan,"
When Wu Yong heard this, he knew that Shi Jin was beginning to instigate rebellion against Lin Chong, so he took over and said, "Master Chai, is he Chai Jin who is known as Xiaoxuanfeng in the world?"
