Chapter 1324 Cut the robe and cut off the righteousness, the betrayal
After listening to what Song Jiang said, Xiao Tang knew that as a high official in the court, he openly betrayed the court not long ago. Song Jiang, who was originally a leader of the strong bandits, had surrendered to the court. The situation between them was exactly the opposite. He, Song Gongming,
It is absolutely impossible for him to agree with his behavior of betraying the imperial court.
However, the situation between Song Jiang and Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others is different. In the original work, he was able to assemble a hundred and eight generals, including himself, on Liangshan Mountain. However, his intentions were completely different from his own.
Even if Song Jiang is willing to surrender temporarily, he will definitely do something secretly, which will cause the undercurrent of several villages on his side. This person must not be used, and Xiao Tang has never regarded him as a target that he must take great pains to win over to unite the righteousness. Now it is like this
Under the circumstances, Xiao Tang had already planned to take action to settle the grievances between him and Song Jiang.
It's just that although Xiao Tang confided in all the brothers under his command, when it came to his murderous intention against Song Jiang, he couldn't tell clearly to some brothers who were close to Song Jiang after all.
"Brother, wait a minute!"
However, two riders rushed out from their own village, Hua Rong and Zhu Tong. Even though they knew that Xiao Tang and Song Jiang, two brothers whom they both respected, were almost in a fight to the death, and Zhu Tong also
They are still very angry at Song Jiang's evil plan to get him to join the gang, but now they are in this situation. Thinking of their past friendship, Hua Rong and Zhu Ding are both people who value righteousness. At this time, they need to be with Song Jiang even more.
Make a break.
Of course, Xiao Tang could understand Hua Rong's and Zhu Tong's thoughts. Before they could ask for help, he had already nodded and said nothing.
When Hua Rong and Zhu Tong saw this, they each bowed gratefully to Xiao Tang, then turned around and looked at each other. First, Hua Rong frowned with emotion and said: "Brother Song Jiang, I often recall the relationship between you and Xun."
Because of the love, I can't let go of brother Song's kindness, and the old memories will never be forgotten. If it was because of the loyalty back then, he would have died with his brother in the underworld, and the younger brother would have no complaints. Seeing the differences between Xun and Xiao Tang's brother, Wei Nai broke up.
We are gradually drifting apart, and there is no day for peace of mind and body. Now my brother is obsessed with it, succumbing to power, and instead wants to harm his old friends. He is definitely not the loyal and honest brother in my mind!"
After hearing this, Song Jiang's expression suddenly changed. His heart seemed to have been hit hard by a heavy hammer, but the sad look on his face did not seem to be fake: "Brother Hua Rong, your ancestors are the sons of generals after all.
After all, you are an official of the imperial court and you have earned a fortune in your country and have a clean family background. Even if you are willing to follow Xiao Renxia and not be forgiven for your crimes and be a strong rebel, is this the destination you want?
Hearing this, Hua Rong shook his head and said: "Now you are bound to be the enemy of brother Xiao Tang, and you have ended up like this, but you still want to be so stupid and loyal? Brother Xiao Tang knows that you are eager to be recruited, and you may be afraid in the future
Although he was an enemy, his brother Gaotang, who was still Yishi in the previous period, and Jiaxiao, the leader who followed Xie in the village, showed the utmost benevolence and righteousness.
In fact, I saw that there was some gap between Xun and brother Xiao Tang before, and Duan was in a dilemma. But now I have already understood clearly that brother Xiao Tang would not hesitate to give up his high and powerful official status for the sake of his close brother who shares life and death, while his brother Xie
But he only wanted to serve the officialdom, but he did not hesitate to turn against his former sworn brothers. How could he tolerate the same loyalty and help each other in life and death? The younger brother only had an elder brother who was bound to follow him, so he had no choice but to cut off from Chue.
Pao Duanyi, please forgive me for never treating Xie as my brother again!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he swayed and almost fell off his horse. But at this moment, Zhu Tong also sighed and said: "When I was in Yuncheng County for a long time, I was taken care of by my elder brother. We had a deep and profound love for each other. I also thought that I could be the same as Xie Gandan.
.My brother planned to get me to join his gang. Although he complained in his heart, but in retrospect, he was thinking about his younger brother. I didn't agree with it, but I didn't think that I would turn against my brother.
But now it’s okay for my brother to compromise. It goes against loyalty, and it really makes me feel disheartened, because I thought that my brother regards the people he has become friends with sincerely as brothers who share weal and woe. But now it seems that Zhemo is just a hand in Xie’s hands.
A chess piece!"
Originally in a desperate situation, the words spoken by Hua Rong and Zhu Dian, the two people who had the most close friendship with him, clearly conveyed the intention of severing ties with him. This was more like
Several sharp swords were thrust straight into Song Jiang's heart. Especially when he heard the last words spoken by Zhu Dian, Song Jiang felt a sense of depression suffocating in his chest, and he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood!
The words Song Jiang, whose chest was heaving violently, were unexpected by some people, were also expected by Xiao Tang: "Brother Zhu Tong, I, Song Jiang, can't help you, but you only wanted to be a good citizen back then.
, but in order to support the army, I have to submit to the government officials and work as a servant, and I have to wait on others. I am eager to accept my brother. Although I am guilty of the crime, I am now looking forward to being recruited by the court, so that I can serve the country. I will not be far better than that.
Am I working as a petty official in the Yuncheng County government office? Whether you believe it or not, I still regard you as a brother who supports each other!
When people are in the Jianghu, they have no choice but to be loyal to the country. There are many things that they have to do as a last resort. But after hearing these two brothers say this, you are so willing to kill me! We have been together for many years, but you don’t know what I, Song Jiang, am like
What kind of people! Now the two brothers have to commit a major crime of rebellion against Xiao Tang. It was Song Jiang who did not help me and led to this fiasco. You two don’t have to worry about the old friendship. It was Song who died at the hands of the two brothers. Jiuquan
No complaints at all!"
The sharp arrows on his waist were suddenly pulled out of their sheaths. Song Jiang was furious and eager, and he was ready to fight to the death. But before Song Jiang shouted loudly and ordered the remaining troops under his command to fight to the death against Xiao Tang's soldiers and horses, there was someone
The leader had already bolted out of the formation and ran to the center of the stalemate between the Xiaotang, Song and Jiang armies. He turned around and yelled, "What the hell! Song, you are just talking nonsense. What Li Daozhang said is right. You are no longer good."
Even though you are a man in the green forest, you have harmed many brothers, and now you still expect Master Dao that I will die in vain by following you?"
The Flying Centipede King knew very well that Song Jiang was determined to fight to the death, so how could he save his life? The original plan of following Song Jiang and submitting to the imperial court, and getting an official position, not only would it be more convenient to do evil, but also the idea of having the king's law to rely on had long since disappeared.
, Wang Daoren just wanted to save his own life, and immediately expressed his goodwill to Xiao Tang and said: "Xiao Renxia, poor Taoist was temporarily obsessed with listening to Song Jiang's instigation and temporarily surrendering to the court, which really ruined the loyalty of the green forest. But he only wanted to do it for
A powerful traitor and a dog, he not only clings to power and attaches importance to the nobles, but he also treats his colleagues in the world. In the past, brothers fought against each other, and he also regards the lives of our brothers as his qualifications to be rewarded by the imperial court!
We brothers ask ourselves that we have done no wrong to him, but we cannot let him, a short-sighted and incompetent person, teach us to die in vain just to obey the court, and be reviled by heroes in the world. Now I am willing to defect to Xiao.
I want to serve under Ren Xia, and I think I have some abilities. If I am accepted, I will be willing to serve as a pawn under my banner!"
Wang Daoren also understood that it was extremely inappropriate to jump out and surrender to Xiao Tang at this time to save his own life, but he knew better that he had no choice anymore. Song Jiang was now in a dead situation, and he
He was going to die again. The reason why he was willing to accept the court's recruitment was because of evil intentions. Of course, he was categorically unwilling to die with Song Jiang. Since many leaders in Song Jiang had defected to Xiao Tang's command, Wang Daoren also knew this very well.
It was the last thing he could do to save his life and get the chance to continue hanging out in the officialdom or in the green forest.
However, the atmosphere of the scene when Song Jiang, Hua Rong, and Zhu Dian were talking was completely different. Wang Daoren could also feel that the eyes of the soldiers on both sides were full of resentment and contempt towards him, as if he was looking at a bird that was shouting for beatings.
