After Song Jiang and Hua Rong chatted for a few more words, they went down the mountain to move their old father. Before leaving, they solemnly knelt down to worship Empress Jiutian Xuannv.
When the two of them went down the mountain, Zheng Tianshou had already killed all the local soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
The group then returned to Songjiazhuang. The local soldiers from Yuncheng County were chasing after them, which had already awakened the people in Songjiazhuang. Some of the bolder ones came to the Songjiazhuang to see if the Song family had been captured.
The Song family was originally a big family in the village, and they usually waited for idlers in the village and dared not come to their door. However, now the Song family is in trouble, and the people in the village come to watch the fun.
However, when Hua Rong and Zheng Tianshou led Liangshan soldiers and horses to find him, the people in the village were frightened and fled in panic.
When Song Jiang, Hua Rong and others returned to the village, they saw the lights brightly lit and Song Qingzheng directing his men to clean up the belongings.
The village was in such chaos that Song Jiang knew that the grandpa must have woken up, so he couldn't help but asked with a guilty conscience: "Where is my father?"
Song Qing pointed to the lobby in front and said, "My father is sitting inside. When I went to ask my father for instructions to clean up the clothes, my father just nodded and said nothing. After thinking about it, I still feel a little confused, so my brother went to persuade my father."
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Then I'll go and persuade Dad. You have people pick up the little ones more quickly. We will go to Liangshan overnight to avoid being arrested by officers and soldiers again."
After Song Qing heard this, he quickly went to urge his servants in person.
When Song Jiang arrived in the lobby, he saw Mrs. Song sitting in the lobby, looking around, and quickly knelt down and said: "My child is unfilial and does arrogant things, which makes my father worried."
Mrs. Song said fairly: "Get up. After you committed a crime in Jiangzhou, I knew you would definitely come to take us to Liangshan with you. Yuncheng County sent local soldiers again. As long as the court documents arrive, we will arrest you."
Arrest our whole family for questioning. Although I am old, I don’t want to sit still and wait for death, so I can only fall into the grass with you. Fortunately, Liangshan has strong soldiers and horses, and sooner or later the court will recruit him. Chao Gai has a long-standing friendship with you, and you can persuade Chao Gai then.
Recruitment is a blessing in disguise. It's just that I have to leave this old house suddenly, and it's inevitable that I'm a little reluctant to leave."
Song Jiang was also full of confidence now and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, when my son becomes a marquis and becomes a prime minister, he will definitely rebuild the old house so that it can be passed down from generation to generation."
Song Taigong shook his head and said: "If you can be a county magistrate, you can be considered a glorious ancestor."
Song Jiang comforted Song Taigong in the hall. After the house was tidied up, he got a soft sedan to carry the old Taigong, and the group came to Liangshan.
When everyone arrived at the entrance of Lijia Road, Zhu Gui fired arrows to summon navy ships to take everyone across.
Seeing the proximity to the Golden Beach, Song Jiang was also very excited. With the story of the Book of Heaven, he believed that in the near future, the entire Liangshan Mountain would be in the palm of his hand, and these eight hundred miles of water would also become his back garden.
"Open the water gate"
When the gatekeepers of the water village saw their boats approaching, they shouted and worked together to open the water gate.
As soon as the water gate opened, Hua Rong said: "Brother, King Chao Tianwang led all the leaders of the village to greet you at the golden beach."
Song Jiang was not as good as Hua Rong in his eyes. When the ship passed through the water gate and entered the water village, he saw Chao Gai and others greeting him on the golden beach, and he couldn't help but frown.
It would be reasonable for Chao Gai to put up such a posture when he went down to Jiangzhou. But now all the leaders in the mountain don't want to see him. Even if Chao Gai remembers his old friendship and comes to greet the old lady Song, he should just say
With a few confidant leaders, wouldn't he summon all the leaders to welcome him so solemnly?
Song Jiang frowned and thought for a while. The only reason for such a welcome was that they knew that he had obtained the Heavenly Book. No matter what others thought, Song Jiang had always felt that he had obtained the Heavenly Book since he had that idea.
But Song Jiang thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. He only told Hua Rong about the Book of Heaven.
In order to make this matter more credible, Song Jiang would naturally not tell anyone that he had obtained the Book of Heaven, but would make it known to others inadvertently, and then it would be easier for others to believe it.
Could it be that some great hero came to vote, so Chao Gaicai led everyone here to welcome him?
As soon as the ship docked, Song Jiang quickly jumped onto the beach, came to everyone, clasped his fists and said, "I wonder who the leaders are waiting for here?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Chao Yong.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I summoned all the leaders to come and specially invite three volumes of books?"
When Song Jiang heard this, his face changed drastically and he stammered: "Brother Yong... what book are you waiting for?"
Chao Yong looked at Song Jiang's reaction and confirmed his suspicion. He smiled and said, "Did Uncle Song go to Xuannv Temple?"
When Song Jiang heard about Xuannv Temple, he couldn't help but feel bad.
However, although Hua Rong was the only one who chased Zhao Neng up the mountain last night, his troops stayed at the intersection at the bottom of the mountain to surround and kill the Yuncheng County soldiers. There were many people, so the fact that he went to Xuannv Temple was not concealed.
There was no one around, so I could only bite the bullet and said, "I was chased by local soldiers from Yuncheng County earlier. I was so panicked that I went to Xuannv Temple."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Last night, the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress gave me a dream and asked Third Uncle Song to bring me three volumes of books to help me fight on the battlefield. I think Third Uncle Song should have gotten those three volumes."
Song Jiang now puts all his hopes for a comeback on the three volumes of books. When he heard that Chao Yong wanted to take away his three volumes of books, he immediately retorted: "The three volumes of heavenly books were given to me by Empress Jiutian Xuannv. How could I be allowed to do so?"
Did I bring it for you?"
Chao Yong didn't expect that Song Jiang actually produced three volumes of the Heavenly Book. He just didn't know if he had prepared it himself or if he really got it from Xuannv Temple.
Xuannv Temple in Huandao Village is very popular in Yuncheng County. Chao Yong also knew about the existence of Xuannv Temple, but he always felt that Song Jiang was pretending to be a ghost and that the Three Books of Heaven did not exist at all, so he never went to Xuannv Temple.
However, after Song Jiang came down from the mountain, Chao Yong learned from Shi Qian that Yuncheng County had already sent local soldiers to ambush Songjiazhuang, and Song Jiang's departure would probably be a disaster.
However, Song Jiang went down the mountain with Chao Yong's token. Chao Yong was also afraid that Song Jiang would be scolded by Chao Gai after something happened. In addition, Song Jiang was rescued by everyone from Liangshan after all, so if he was easily captured by the Yuncheng County soldiers, he would inevitably suffer losses.
Liangshan became famous.
And because when Chao Yong learned that there was an ambush in Songjiazhuang, Song Jiang had been down the mountain for a long time, and Chao Yong was also afraid that when Liangshan troops went to rescue Song Jiang, Song Jiang would have been captured by the Yuncheng soldiers. Therefore, Hua Rong and Zheng Tianshou were specially asked to lead troops down the mountain to rescue Song Jiang.
, Firstly, the two of them had a close relationship with Song Jiang, so they would have to rush on their way when they left; Secondly, if they arrived late and Song Jiang had been captured, then he would be exempted from suspicion, lest others say that he deliberately sent people to delay the time.
Harmed Song Jiang.
In Chao Yong's view, Song Jiang was already a tiger without claws, and he naturally did not want to bear the reputation of harming others for him.
After Hua Rong came down the mountain, Chao Yong thought again about Song Jiang getting the Book of Heaven in Water Margin.
Now that Song Jiang's reputation has been ruined, he is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary, and he might even forge some heavenly book.
After Chao Yong came to earth under the pretense of the stars, he discovered that many soldiers in Liangshan fanatically believed in him. If Song Jiang really produced the Book of Heaven, he might cause trouble in Liangshan again.
After Chao Yong thought about it, he summoned the leaders and said that the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress had entrusted him with a dream last night and sent him three books to help him fight on the battlefield. He asked everyone to come down the mountain to greet him.
If Song Jiang didn't bring back the "Book of Heaven", Chao Yong could have said that Song Jiang was disrespectful to Jiutian Xuannv, so Jiutian Xuannv didn't give the book to him. He could go down the mountain to get it in person, and then he could find three books to fill the bill.
After all, no one knows what the "Book of Heaven" looks like.
When Li Kui heard that Song Jiang actually dared to say that the Heavenly Book was for him, he couldn't help but rush out and said: "You are so shameless, how could Empress Jiutian Xuannv give the Heavenly Book to a shit-eater like you? Don't want Brother Lai Yong's Heavenly Book.
, otherwise Li Kui will not be able to recognize you."
At this time, Hua Rong also just remembered that there was a rumor in Liangshan Mountain that Chao Yong descended from the stars and that the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress would entrust him with a dream. On the one hand, he did not believe this and did not take it to heart. On the other hand, he did not think about it at the time.
I was worried about Song Jiang's life and death. After seeing him alive, I was inevitably a little excited, so I forgot about the legend of Jiutian Xuannv and Chao Yong.
Song Jiang had just gone up the mountain, and he didn't know that Chao Yong had already taken the name of Jiutian Xuannv.
Seeing Li Kui's ferocious look, Song Jiang couldn't help but take two steps back in fright, but he was unwilling to let go of the "Heavenly Book" that could make him stand up. He thought for a while and said: "Brother Yong, you said that the Heavenly Book is the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress.
It was given to you, so what do you think it says in the heavenly book?"
When Wu Song heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Yong has never seen the Heavenly Book, how can he know what is written in it?"
"Brother Wu Song is saying that if you, a black man, don't come up with the Book of Heaven, you will eat my ass first."
Hua Rong saw Li Kui raising his ax and was about to strike at Song Jiang, so he hurriedly took two steps forward to protect Song Jiang.
Chao Yong didn't expect Hua Rong to be so loyal to Song Jiang, and he didn't want Li Kui and Hua Rong to get into trouble, so he quickly grabbed Li Kui and said: "Uncle Song, if I am right, the book will be given to me? Right?"
Song Jiang couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, but looking at the looks of Li Kui and others, he knew that there was no way to be kind today, and he was the only one who had read the Book of Heaven, not even Hua Rong, and Chao Yong had no chance of knowing.
It's a shame that Chao Yong actually took the first step and used the name of Jiutian Xuannv to cause trouble. It seems that he has a big plan. He has been pretending to be a fairy since ancient times, and it's not for the sake of rebellion. Although he also wants to forge the heavenly book, it is to seize the position of the lord of Liangshan.
, we will see you again in the future.
Chao Yong is so aggressive, so he might as well join his army and expose his pretense of pretending to be the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress, which will also damage the prestige of the Chao family and his son in Liangshan. As the person who has truly obtained the Book of Heaven, he will be able to win over people's hearts more easily.
.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang looked at Chao Yong and said: "If you are wrong, it means that Jiutian Xuannv has never entrusted you with a dream. Brother Yong, you have to think carefully about whether you want to take this gamble."
Some people in Liangshan who did not believe in ghosts and gods originally thought that Chao Yong had colluded with Song Jiang to forge the Heavenly Book. However, seeing that the two refused to give in to each other, it seemed that this was not the case.
Chao Yong saw that everyone was looking at him and knew that the matter had come to this and he could no longer retreat. He immediately smiled and said: "Of course." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature and recommend it.
