Ximen Qing saw that King Chao Gai was in a good mood, so he simply told him about the shortcomings of Liangshan, especially the fact that the surrendered generals had no real power.
Chao Gai, the King of Pagoda, pondered for a while and said slowly: "My dear brother, these opinions are all important. However, Liangshan is not my Liangshan alone. Many things need to be discussed with the brothers. What do you think?
I’ll go back and think about it.”
When Ximen Qing heard Chao Gai's words, he was a little bit conceited. He didn't take all his strength into his arms. The disadvantages don't exist for a day, and naturally they can't disappear completely in a day. Ximen Qing understands this truth, but at the moment
The most important thing is to find the irrefutable evidence that Song Jiang's gangster is behind the scenes, and to ensure the safety of King Chao Tianwang on the other hand.
So when Chao Gai left, Ximen Qing went outside the hospital and said sincerely: "Brother Tianwang, the wind is strong on the mountain. Your body is just recovering, so you need to be careful."
Chao Gai looked at the motionless willow tree not far away. He was not surprised by Ximen Qing's statement. Instead, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "My dear brother, I appreciate your kindness. Some things are like abscesses. It's sooner or later that you have to take action."
He will show up, just take more precautions."
Seeing that King Chao Tian understood what he meant, Ximen Qing said no more and left Mangdang Mountain. Ximen Qing made many arrangements along the way. The miracle doctor An Dao was on call at any time, while Shi Qian secretly observed at night.
Suspicious movement.
Since it is adjacent to Chao Gai's courtyard, we should continue to monitor it.
Only when Ximen Qing thought of this did he understand Chao Gai's intention of arranging this courtyard for him. It seemed that his reminder just now was a bit redundant.
Ximen Qing was thinking as he walked into the yard. Tang Long, the golden leopard, happened to follow him and said with cupped hands: "Brother, what you told me before..."
"Let's talk in the house." Ximen Qing looked around. He hadn't paid attention when he was talking to Chao Gai, but now he looked carefully and saw that there were some minions in the yard. He didn't know if they were really here to help or if they were sent by Song Jiang to spy.
of.
The main house had been tidied up and looked like a home. Ximen Qing knew that he could not live in Liangshan for a long time, and this house was just a temporary one.
Ximen Qing and Tang Long sat down and ordered the book boy and painting boy to stand at the door to prevent anyone from prying. Then he picked up the topic and said: "Brother Tang Long, even if King Chao Tian didn't say anything, I would also recommend you to go to the blacksmith shop on the mountain.
Sir, since the King of Heaven invites you, it’s just the right thing to do.”
"The style of the iron arrow is ordinary, but the craftsmanship is excellent. It can be seen that the craftsman who made this arrow has good skills." Tang Long thought for a while and said: "Since I agreed to the King of Heaven to take charge, I will definitely be able to find out the writing within two or three days.
The eyebrows are coming."
Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Yes, although the iron arrow has Shi Wengong's name, it is not Shi Wengong's. It was probably made in Liangshan. This matter should be investigated quietly and not alert others."
"I will understand of course." Tang Long nodded and said: "If I find any clues or find out the craftsman who made it, I will only send the news back and won't rush into it."
"Very good." Ximen Qing said with a satisfied smile: "Since you are in charge of the blacksmith shop, you will probably move to a nearby residence. I will arrange for a servant to bring you some meals three times a day. If you find anything, just tell me
Got the news back."
"But if it's true as King Chao Tian said, those blacksmiths are lazy, you have to take control of them. My blood-blowing soldiers are still waiting for the standard equipment, and it's too late to do anything by dilly-dallying."
"It's easy to say, but I'm afraid that I can't do anything alone and some things are hard to do," Tang Long replied.
Ximen Qing's eyes became sharp, and he knocked on the table and said: "Don't be afraid, you are the person in charge appointed by the King of Heaven. If you are dissatisfied, just teach him a lesson. I will transfer a team of ten people from the personal army to you!
"
"That's no problem." Tang Long nodded and said, "I'll go and see how lazy those blacksmiths can be tomorrow!"
At this time, the book boy at the door called out: "Who is it? My master is discussing things inside, don't barge in!"
Ximen Qing opened the door and went out. He saw two young men moving chairs to come in, but they were stopped by the book boy and the painting boy.
One of the minions put down the chair and bowed: "It turns out to be Leader Ximen, we just want to move the chairs in..."
"Nonsense, this main room has been tidied up a long time ago, there is no shortage of chairs." The painting boy on the side scolded: "You two can move to the side room over there!"
Seeing the guy's eyes rolling around, Ximen Qingleng must have wanted to move a chair up to eavesdrop. He sneered in his heart. This little trick was too boring. He just didn't know whether these two guys were sent by Song Jiang or Wu Yong.
of.
"Okay, brother Tang Long, the matter is settled." Ximen Qing suddenly said: "When you go to the blacksmith shop tomorrow to take charge, you must show your authority! Don't let others look down upon you!"
Tang Long saw that Ximen Qing had changed his tune and didn't know why, so he just agreed casually.
Ximen Qing saw that the two idiots seemed to be stuck in their feet and were waiting to hear what he had to say, so he simply said something casually and asked them to guess.
"Hey, why don't you two leave?" Shutong'er shouted impatiently: "There are many female relatives in this courtyard, be careful because you can't pull it out because of your eyes."
After hearing this, the two gangsters left in a hurry. From a distance, Ximen Qing saw these two gangsters casually placing chairs in the corner and sneaking out of the yard. He knew that what he had expected was true.
Tang Long also noticed it and looked at Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
The two young men walked out of the yard, ran three steps at a time to the east, came to the yard with several elm trees, and plunged in.
The door opened, and the person who came out was holding a goose feather fan in his hand. It was Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong.
None of this was hidden from Shi Qian's eyes. He nodded secretly and went back to tell Ximen Qing.
"Sure enough, it's Wu Yong. If he doesn't have something up his sleeve, why do we come to monitor him as soon as we go up the mountain?" Ximen Qing heard what Shi Qian said and said to Wu Song and Yan Qing who were sitting next to him: "Liangshan looks peaceful on the surface.
Secretly, it is actually not peaceful. I must have listened to what the Heavenly King and I discussed just now. Fortunately, we only talked about some of the current shortcomings in the beam, and did not directly talk about the things behind the arrow being shot by the Heavenly King."
After hearing this, Wu Song lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Now I can only take one step at a time. I will go to Song Jiang's place for a banquet tomorrow. I can take the opportunity to tease him with words."
"Songjiang City is quite deep." Ximen Qing said: "Shandong Jijiyu, Xiaoyi Heisanlang's name is famous in the world, and it did not fall from the sky. Tomorrow we can only talk about the shortcomings of Liangshan, and don't reveal any of our
It is suspected that King Chao Tianwang was hit by an arrow and that Shi Wengong and Duan Jingzhu died."
"Only when we have some evidence can we convince the leaders. It's a bit early to poke our fingers in Song Jiang's nose now. However, many of Liangshan's shortcomings are also caused by Song Jiang behind his back, so we can use them to argue the case.
"
"Only when Song Jiang thinks that no one doubts him, will he take action boldly. In this way, we may be able to catch him."
Wu Song nodded silently after hearing this, and Yan Qing sneered: "Brother Ximen, Song Jiang and Wu Yong harmed my master. This is a fact."
Ximen Qing replied with a serious expression: "Of course this is a fact, but it is not enough to make Song Jiang and Wu Yong unable to stay in Liangshan. After all, it was Wu Yong who came forward to hint that Li Gu was there. Even the leaders of Liangshan knew it.
If you don’t, you will only sigh at the fate of member Lu."
"Xiao Yi understands." Yan Qing nodded and said: "If there is any use for Xiao Yi, just give me the instructions. It will be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Just treat it as a matter of course!"
"By the way, have you copied out all the information in the booklet written by Monk Dayuan?" Ximen Qing suddenly remembered the booklet obtained by Fahua Temple and how the Zeng family operated as spies of the Jin Kingdom.
What? These answers should all be in that information.
Yan Qing took out a booklet from his arms and said: "It should have been copied out. Most of it is the contents and dates of the Zeng family's business dealings. Only a small part is some incomprehensible messy text."
"Can't you understand?" Ximen Qing suddenly felt a little confused. He took the book and flipped through it. Sure enough, the last ten or so pages copied were all incomprehensible words: "There are some problems with these words. I think some of them must be secret words, or
The order is reversed again.”
"Xiao Yi has tried to do some research, but there is still no clue." Yan Qing shook his head in frustration: "I didn't expect that bald donkey Da Yuan to record information and come up with such tricks."
"This must be extremely important information, otherwise Da Yuan wouldn't bother so much." Ximen Qing put the booklet away: "Let me study it slowly and take a look."
While Ximen Qing was having a small meeting, Wu Yong, the wise man over there, was unequivocal. After hearing the spies' report, he immediately set off to find Song Jiang.
"What! Disadvantages?" Song Jiang heard the information and slapped the table, almost knocking over a cup of newly brewed Mingqian tea: "I didn't expect that Ximen Qing would point fingers at Liangshan as soon as he came here. This is okay!"
"This is not the most important thing." Wu Yong shook his goose feather fan and said with an inscrutable look: "The key is that King Chao Tianwang did not refuse, but instead said: Liangshan is not my Liangshan."
The profound meaning of it, brother Gongming must not ignore it."
Song Jiang sneered: "Those surrendered generals are all new recruits. Not to mention not giving them troops, even daily operations must be supervised. Only in this way can we protect the foundation of our village! What does he, an outsider, know? But King Chao Tian
We should be wary of these kinds of statements. Liangshan is currently in harmony, and we can’t let Ximen Qing ruin a major event by himself!"
"Then what brother Gongming means..." Wu Yong raised his hand and put it on his neck: "Kill?"
Song Jiang chuckled and said: "You have to do it secretly, and don't let the King of Heaven notice it. The King of Heaven invites this person to the mountain, it must be to strengthen his own power. If you remove this person, it will be much easier to deal with the King of Heaven!"
As he spoke, Song Jiang stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "I must have the final say in Liangshan. Anyone who doesn't agree...kill!"
