Everyone rested at Li Li's house that night and made an appointment to meet at Li Li's place in a few days.
The next day, Li Jun and Li Li sent Chao Yong, Song Jiang and others on their way. After traveling for half a day, they arrived at a town.
When everyone came to the town, they saw a group of people gathered around to watch.
Chao Yong saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had already squeezed in, so he had no choice but to follow him in, but it was a man selling medicine with a gun and stick. Chao Yong watched for a while and couldn't help but cheered: "What a good gun and stick."
When the man saw someone cheering, he moved the whistle stick in his hand even more powerfully. After using it for a while, the man put away the stick and stood still, but his face was not red and he was out of breath. He picked up a plate and said: "Little man
People who come from far away, even though they don’t have amazing abilities, rely on their benefactors to support them. If they want plaster, they can redeem it immediately. If they don’t need plaster, they can give them some silver or two copper coins. If they don’t teach, they will leave their plates empty."
When the man came to Chao Yong's place, Chao Yong took out a five-tael piece of silver, put it on the tray, and said, "What a good gun and club."
The man thanked Chao Yong and went around again, but no one rewarded him with money.
Xue Yong was also a man with a hot temper. He picked up Chao Yong's silver and said: "In such a famous Jieyang town, no wise man can praise our family. It's rare that this benefactor passed by here with a package on his back and spent five dollars."
Two taels of silver support our family. I would like to ask the benefactor to have a high surname so that the villain can be known throughout the world."
Of course Chao Yong did not dare to tell his real name, so he could only say: "It's just a small amount of silver, no need to thank me."
Just as he was talking, I saw a big man in the crowd approaching and shouted: "What kind of guy is that guy? He dares to come to destroy our prestige in Jieyang Town. How dare you come to me even if you learned some guns and clubs?"
You are trying to be strong here. Without my brother’s orders, no one would dare to give you money.”
After saying that, he raised his fist to hit Chao Yong.
Chao Yong saw that this man was rude and was about to teach him a lesson.
However, Xue Yong grabbed his shoulder from behind, pulled the man to stagger, and then kicked him to the ground.
The man got up, looked at Xue Yong and Chao Yong, and said, "It's so majestic. Don't panic." After saying this, he looked south and left.
Seeing Xue Yong's martial arts skills, Chao Yong smiled and said, "You haven't asked your instructor, Gao, yet?"
Xue Yong said: "The little man's ancestor is from Luoyang, and his surname is Xue Mingyong. His grandfather was an old military officer who served as the prime minister. He was not promoted because he hated his superiors. His descendants made a living by using guns and sticks and selling medicine. Everyone in the world called him Xiao.
Human disease is a big bug.”
Chao Yong smiled and said: "No wonder I just saw that your stick skills are a bit like those in the military. If there is nothing else, how about we go have a few drinks?"
Xue Yong said: "How dare you disobey your orders."
Immediately, he packed up his gun, stick and ointment, and went to the town wine shop with Chao Yong and others to have a drink.
After visiting two families in a row, both of them were rejected. Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but get angry. She grabbed the waiter by the collar and said, "Could it be that they came from a foreign country to deceive us?"
The waiter saw Ruan Xiaoqi's fierce look and said quickly: "It's not that I'm rude, you just beat Xiao Zhe Mu Chun. He will attract people to fight in a while. If you enter the store, I'm afraid the store will be destroyed by then."
It was beaten to pieces. So I don’t dare to let you in. I hope you will understand me.”
Ruan Xiaoqi pushed the waiter aside and walked in, saying: "What kind of guy is he? I don't know how many people are better than him. I don't know how many people he has killed. Just get out of the way. When he brings people here, let's go out and fight him."
yes."
When the waiter heard Ruan Xiaoqi talking about murder, his face turned pale with fright, and he did not dare to stop him anymore. He trembled and said: "Young man has no eyesight, please come in, good man."
When Chao Yong heard Ruan Xiaoqi tell him about the murder in Liangshan again, he hurriedly said: "Xiaoer, please don't listen to his nonsense. He only beat up a few rogues. We won't make it difficult for you. You can give us some food and drink."
We just took it to eat outside the town."
When the waiter saw what Chao Yong said, he hurriedly bent down and said, "Thank you for your understanding, hero. Wait a moment, hero, and I'll go fix it."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Mu Chun would come, the waiter quickly prepared some good food and wine for everyone.
Chao Yong gave the waiter one ingot and two taels of silver, and said with a smile, "I'll give you the rest."
The waiter didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, and hurriedly and diligently sent everyone out of the store.
Chao Yong said to Xue Yong: "I wonder where Brother Xue is going? If nothing happens, we will leave Jieyang Town together. I think Mu Chun seems to be the tyrant in the town. If Brother Xue stays alone, he may be poisoned."
Xue Yong clasped his fists and said: "I'm just a showman here and there. This time I went south mainly to go to Wuwei Army to meet one of my apprentices, Hou Jian. There is no good guy in Jieyang Town, so I don't have much nostalgia. Now it's time to go south."
When this incident happened, I was about to leave Jieyang Town with my benefactor."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then let's leave the town first and then talk about it."
As a few people walked out of the town quickly, Chao Yong turned around and saw a man following furtively behind him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Mu Chun isn't ready to let us go yet."
Ruan Xiaoqi turned to look at the man and said, "Brother Yong, wait a moment. I'll chase them up and release these birds."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry about him. We are hungry after walking for half a day. Why not eat some food and wine on the roadside to avoid the food getting cold after a while."
But Song Jiang finally took a look at Jiangzhou, which he was about to reach. He didn't want to cause more trouble, so he said: "Then Mu Chun went there with bad intentions, I'm afraid there will be more trouble. We might as well walk a few steps and reach the Xunyang River in front of us.
Find a boat to ferry to Jiangzhou, and it won’t be too late to have a drink then.”
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's noon now. After walking for half a day, everyone is so hungry that they can't walk. Brother Gongming is afraid of trouble. When they come later, Brother Yong and I will take care of them.
.”
When Xue Yong heard Ruan Xiaoqi call this short black man Gongming brother, he couldn't help but think of a person, cupped his fists and said: "Dare I ask if I am brother Gongming Song from Shandong Shijiyu Song?"
Song Jiang smiled and said: "It's Song Jiang. Even if you don't want to be a teacher, you know Song Jiang's nickname."
"Xue Jiongjiu has traveled around the world, and the name of his brother Gongming is naturally heard in his ears. In the past few days, he has also heard that his brother was assassinated and sent to Jiangzhou. He didn't want to meet here. I wonder who these two benefactors are?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I am Chao Yong, the little overlord of Liangshan, and he is Ruan Xiaoqi, the Living Yama. On this trip, one of us is escorting Uncle Song, and the two of us are also looking at the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. There were too many people in the town just now, so we didn't dare to pass through."
I hope Brother Xue will forgive me."
When Xue Yong heard that Chao Yong and the two were actually from Liangshan, his expression changed and he said: "I don't want to see the heroes of Liangshan in front of me. Please forgive Xue Yong for being blind."
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I think brother Xue Yong is also good at martial arts. Why don't you go to Liangshan with us to do justice for heaven, eat wine from a big bowl, and eat meat in large chunks."
Xue Yong said with an expression of embarrassment: "Thanks to the respect of the hero, I shouldn't shirk it, but the villain's ancestor was also an officer in the Song Dynasty. In the villain's generation, although he has never received royal pay, he does not dare to go against his ancestors."
After Chao Yong thought about it, he understood the connection. Although they were all in the world, Li Jun and others could be said to have been enemies of the imperial court for a long time, so they naturally had no objection to going to Liangshan. However, Xue Yong made a living by doing arts.
He has no criminal record. Although Liangshan's reputation is big enough, he is still a bandit after all, so he naturally does not want to fall into the trap.
