Lin Chong nodded and said in a low voice: "I'm not jealous of eldest brother! Although eldest brother is not very good at martial arts, his abilities are even envied by Gao Qiu. Duo relies on his brother... From scratch to now, my brother recruits and rescues people and refugees, and makes money in a wise way.
Jianghu...even Jiangnan Ladu...uh..."
Zhou Tong frowned and looked around, then whispered: "What you said is taboo, especially about Fang La... Be careful what you say! I heard about Song Wen going south to rescue your third brother An Daoquan.
You mentioned it! But what does this have to do with Fang La? "
Lin Chong didn't want to deceive the teacher, so he simply sent Song Wen south to rescue An Daoquan, and then provided aid to intercept some of Jingdong thief Song Jiang's brothers, giving them a chance to reform... and from the Manichean prison.
He rescued An Daoquan, and also set up a suspicious formation, placed firearms in the incense burner, and sacrificed glazed crystal utensils worth thousands of taels of silver to lure Fang La to worship!
The firearm really exploded, and Fang La's confidants suffered heavy casualties... I just don't know if Fang La was directly killed! But Tong Guan's army had just defeated Fang Qifu... Hangzhou City immediately revealed that Sheng Gong Fang La had died of illness.
information……
Zhou Tong exclaimed: "No wonder, no wonder Fang La, who was rumored to be good at martial arts, suddenly fell ill and died quickly... It turned out that Song Wen had made contributions to the court!"
Wang Yueniang sighed: "If Fang La was really burned to death by Brother Wen, then it would be a waste of great achievements... The imperial court had already announced that anyone who could capture or kill Fang La's thief chieftain alive would be granted official status.
Jiajue will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver! The military commander will grant you three consecutive levels of nobility and gold and silver bonuses!"
Lin Chong sighed and said in a low voice: "Brother said, there is Tong Guan over there in the south of the Yangtze River... Anyone who dares to take such credit is asking for death! Tong Guan wants to gain credit for pacifying the south of the Yangtze River so that he can go north to serve for the court.
What are the qualifications for commanding the Northern Expeditionary Army..."
Zhou Tong sighed and shook his head: "For eunuchs to lead troops has always been a sign of national destruction... There are so many civil servants and generals, why do the officials only favor this boy? Alas..."
Lin Chong nodded: "Brother said, Tong Guan's ambition is very big... The Duke of the country is a joke in his eyes! What he really wants to care about is to be crowned king."
Yueniang frowned and asked: "There are many things here that are complicated and cannot be explained clearly at the moment."
"So Brother Wen never thought about taking the credit for killing Fang La,"
Zhou Tong patted his thigh... "Oh, it's really a pity!"
Yueniang suddenly looked a little ugly. When she saw Lin Chong and Zhou Tong, master and apprentice, they had finished drinking the chicken soup, they quietly packed up and went back to the kitchen.
Zhou Tong is also an old man. He looked at Wang Yueniang's back, shook his head and sighed: "Why, you want to follow your brother Song Wen to start a career? Alas, you are working diligently and diligently in the Forbidden Army.
, but you have never been able to reuse it! Because of my relationship with Coach Wang Jin, those generals and disciples are also separated from you...not to mention Gao Qiu. But...it is right for a man to do something in his career, but he still has to wait until he gets married.
Let’s go after we get married! Girls... they become more honest after they get married, hehehehe..."
Lin Chong sighed and said quietly to Zhou Tong: "I don't know why, Yueniang has even been to Qingshan Village... But she always has a prejudice against Brother Wen. She respects my brother and respects him for his poor background but continuous self-improvement.
!I respect him as a merchant, he can shock Bianliang, train rural soldiers, suppress bandits and bring peace to the people...but, Yueniang always doesn’t like me and my brother doing things together!”
Zhou Tong wondered: "This girl is far more intelligent than many men. Even you and me, master and apprentice, are far inferior. Maybe... Song Wen built Wazi Street and made money every day. Yue Niang didn't
I like you to be close to Song Wenxu... I’m afraid that you and Song Wenxu will get into trouble!"
Lin Chong smiled bitterly... "My brother has been running Wazi Street for several years. Who among the oirans and other oirans does not hope to be valued by my brother? But my brother has always been clean and self-sufficient and has never been a prostitute... Even my third brother didn't want to open his eyes."
allow!"
Zhou Tong shook his head... "That doesn't make sense. Do you want me to give you some advice?"
Lin Chong shook his head: "I won't bother you, teacher. Although a man should cherish his women, there are some things that cannot be left to the woman's family...it concerns my elder brothers! I don't want to be embarrassed anymore because of Yueniang's preferences.
The hearts of brothers...My brother has just arrived in Mizhou, and the poor mountains and rivers are full of pirates and thieves. I want to help him!"
Zhou Tong laughed and said: "That's right! How can a good man be obedient to women every day? What's the big deal? I've wanted to remind you for a long time. It's best if you wake up to yourself today! Go!
Well, if Yueniang can’t be coaxed, I’ll still have you! However, I’d better wait until you are married before going, so that she can feel more at ease.”
"Well, my disciple knows!"
The next day, Song Wen, Lin Chong, Anchun and others quietly left Bianliang. Outside the west gate, several rural soldiers stood in a quiet place, holding horses and waiting for a long time.
Lin Chong watched Song Wen get on his horse, and couldn't help but come over and pull the reins of Song Wen's horse and said: "Brother, take care, I will go to Taoshan County to recruit capable men, so that I can be more comfortable when I go to Mizhou in the future!"
Song Wen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Daqingshan is my first nest, and I can't bear to throw it away! I have moved most of the workshops to Sanxian Island and Dengzhou Mizhou. From now on, only Daqingshan will remain.
The next group of rural soldiers will be stationed here to open up wasteland! But... I only have three people under my command now, Li Erlang, An Chun and Xiao Fuzi. I haven't decided yet who will take over as Zhizhai to garrison Daqingshan..."
Lin Chong sighed: "Brother, don't stay here. In March at most, Lin Chong will rush to Mizhou to help brother!"
"Hahaha, don't worry... There are still a dozen Liangshan heroes of the Dengzhou generation waiting for me. I will slowly get to know them in the future... and try to find a background for them to be the head of a guard station or something like that!
There are also Taoist Master Gongsun Sheng, Mr. Wu Yongwu who later left Songjiang, Master Luda who came from the Western Army, Wu Dalang Wu Erlang, a martial brother..."
Lin Chong frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Wu Erlang... the teacher once said that there is a Wujiazhuang on Jingdong Road, Wu Song Wu Erlang, who is a good young man with natural supernatural powers. He once came to the Yuquan Gym for advice!"
Song Wen nodded: "It was him. Wu Erlang once said that he did come to the Imperial Boxing Hall of the Capital for advice! Unfortunately, Senior Zhou only gave him some pointers and did not really accept him as his disciple... Because of this,
I have more trust in these two brothers. It's just that although Wu Erlang is good at martial arts, his personality is too impulsive and reckless! He needs to be tempered."
Seeing that Lin Chong seemed to have remembered something, An Chun came over and whispered something in Lin Chong's ear...Lin Chong suddenly understood!
"It turned out to be him? No wonder, my family didn't recognize my family at that time... Fortunately, Xiao Fuzi shouted... Sigh... I won't mention it, that man has a pair of iron and steel swords that are very good! Especially the bottom plate is extremely solid,
Fighting with a sword is like a mad tiger. If it were a simple close-fitting fight to the death, I would be able to barely resist at most! He is an excellent general who can step into an enemy formation!"
Although Lin Chong's official position was not high, Song Wen knew that he was extremely proud at heart... To be evaluated by him as a real step general who could get into battle showed that Wu Erlang was really a strong man!
Song Wen looked at the sky, pinched Lin Chong's shoulders and said: "Second brother, the third brother is staying in Bianliang for the time being, and Zen Master Kong Kong's body needs him to come for diagnosis and treatment... Help brother take care of him! Wait.
I will take him with me when I leave Taoshan County to join Jingdong... Also, the scenery of Sanxian Island is beautiful, and the seafood is delicious! I also left a yard for you and your wife... You can go there if you want.
It doesn’t matter if you take Yueniang to live with you for a few days, you don’t have to force yourself to stay or go! Brothers for one day will always be brothers... Don’t be angry with Yueniang!”
Lin Chong wiped the corners of his eyes, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, take care, just wait for Lin Chong to charge into the battle for brother!"
"Hahaha, okay! Take care, second brother!"
Lin Chong stood under the rising sun and watched Song Wen lead An Chun and several other rural soldiers as they rode away, quickly disappearing into the distance on the official road...
