Chapter 1352 Made a fortune in the green forest and returned to the rivers and lakes
Gao Qiu, who still had a trace of consciousness left and had to endure endless pain and torture, not only no longer had the strength to scream and scream, he could not even raise his head to stare at the sword hanging on his waist slowly and hesitantly.
Lin Chong took his own life.
Lin Chong watched Gao Qiu fall to the ground with cold eyes, making inarticulate moans and his body twitching from time to time. Lin Chong finally tightened his grip on the sword in his hand and immediately threw it towards Gao Qiu's back. The sword cut iron like clay.
It was easily inserted into Gao Qiu's spine, and the sharp blade cut straight into his internal organs. Gao Qiu's eyes that were as turbid as dead fish suddenly widened, and his body like a bloody gourd twitched violently for several times. After a while, he finally stopped.
movement.
Relying on the favor of the official Zhao Ji, he had controlled the power of the imperial army in the three yamen in front of the palace for a long time, which caused the officers and soldiers of Bianjing and the military administration to decay day by day. He also caused harm to many innocent people in the army. Gao Qiu, a treacherous official, was finally killed by Lin Chong's sword.
After killing his enemy with his own hands, Lin Chong felt that the haze that had been in his heart for many years suddenly disappeared. He stepped forward and drew out his sword, cut off Gao Qiu's head and held it in his hand. He immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Tang.
His face was full of admiration, and he immediately cupped his fists and gave a deep salute.
Gao Qiu is dead after all... Han Cunbao, Yang Wen and others present witnessed Xiao Tang, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning, and even Lin Chong... Waiting for the heroes to kill Gao Qiu, and finally
The thrilling scene of teaching this guy was still worried, but most of the other Jiedu envoys who had decided to submit to Xiao Tang looked very free and easy. After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yuanzhen also said with emotion: "It's not me.
If Xiao Renxia doesn't kill Gao Qiu, this thief, I'm afraid we'll have no way of survival. We'll just go back to the court, and when the Privy Council investigates the responsibility for the defeat, we'll still have to suffer! Our brother
A few of you, who have been through the green forest officialdom, have not seen any big storms? I am no better than Xu Jing, Mei Zhan and other brothers who were raped and persecuted back then. When I was the most useless in my life, I was coerced by Gao Qiu to come here.
, these days when we have no choice but to be enemies with Xiao Renxia and the heroes of the Green Forest!"
Zhang Kai's friendship with Xiao Tang was quite deep, and now that he had decided to reunite, his heart suddenly felt very bright. He waved his hand and said: "I have suffered enough from the bad atmosphere these days. In the end,
When I was happy, I saw with my own eyes that the thief Gao Qiu was about to commit suicide on the spot. Come on! Come on! Come on! Now that the matter has come to this, we have to take the old road and fall into the grass. Xiao Tang, you little... Xiao Renxia has now gathered all kinds of heroes.
, it is also far better than the momentum I had when I was crossing the green forest. When you first led the troops to fight and kill, you still had to obey my orders. Now the situation has really changed, and I want to mess with you.
!”
Naturally, Xiao Tang immediately responded to Zhang Kai. Xiang Yuanzhen expressed his position and said: "I was inspired by Zhang Jiedu back then, and I benefited a lot from his practical teachings. Xun and Xiang Jiedu were also willing to share the common cause with us, and they were a great help to me."
A blessing."
Although other Jiedu envoys such as Wang Wende and Li Yuanji were also willing to surrender, they thought more carefully and looked at each other again when considering their own worries. Then Li Congji immediately came forward and said: "Xiao Renxia, how about our brother?"
Most of them have been fighting in the green forest for a long time, and they have seen a lot of gangsters, bandits and water bandits. There are people like Xixuan in the green forest who resist the laws of the government and the king, but are not willing to harm innocent and kind people.
, but they are indeed rare, and they cannot make any waves. There is only one hero like Xiao Ren Xia Xun who can gather countless green forest heroes to do great things with him, and can always afford the four big words of "doing justice for heaven".
Unparalleled.
We, the defeated generals, can still receive such courtesy and care from Xiao Renxia. This kindness is so profound that we are willing to defect to Tie and join the group to join the righteous cause. There is only one concern, that is, most of the brothers like me have families. Let's live in the Bianjing mansion. It's okay for us to fall off the grass. We are all people who have made a fortune in the green forest. However, if the court gets a report that we have also betrayed, they will send officials to arrest us. The wife, children, and family members of the mansion will be implicated in vain. , but what can we do?"
What Li Yuanji said was also the concern of most of the Jiedu envoys present. Among them, only Wang Huan's wife He Lianlian had passed away, and his remaining heirs had died in infancy. Xu Jing had never had sex again because he was in memory of his deceased lover Yunniang. After getting married, they spread the habit of living in the green forest. After being recruited by the court, they also wanted to be alone and comfortable. However, Li Congji, Xiang Yuanzhen, Wang Wende and others all had small bonds with their wives and children in the mansion. They all spent their time hanging out in the green forest. As time goes by, I have seen many slanderous things in the officialdom due to the fact that Jiedu envoys have been neglecting their high positions. Especially when I think about the experience of being manipulated by traitors like Gao Qiu, I naturally don't have the same strong heart as ordinary people against those who fall into the grass and become bandits. . But now that he wants to be proud and proud, it might as well be a happy reunion with Xiao Tang, but he cannot abandon his family just like that.
Xiao Tang naturally understood the concerns of Li Congji and others, and said immediately: "But please rest assured, a few Jiedu envoys. Now that the army that came to conquer has been defeated, it will take more time for the news of Gao Qiu's execution to reach Bianjing." These days, what's more, the soldiers who fled only knew that a few Jiedu envoys were trapped in our army, and they didn't know that some of them were willing to join us and other brothers in the cause of righteousness. I will send a few good brothers to Bianliang, Tokyo. , to the houses of several Jiedushi envoys, they have brought their family members out of the capital and gathered in the village. In the streets and streets of Bianjing, there are also comrades with lofty ideals who have communicated with our Dazhai. I want to bring all the Jiedu envoys and their families together. It is not difficult to get out of Bianjing...As for the news of your joining the gang, of course during this period, there will be no leakage."
Hearing that Xiao Tang had made such arrangements, Li Congji, Xiang Yuanzhen, Wang Wende and others all breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison: "If Xiao Renxia is so thorough, what worries do we have? Since it is like this, There will never be any retaliation, it will be effective!"
However, although Li Congji and others no longer have any worries, among the ten military envoys who were originally well-known in the Forbidden Army, except for those who were born in the green forest in the past, they were later recruited because of the standpoints of Han Cunbao and Yang Wen. Thinking about it, Han Cunbao could never teach Han Duanyan, Han Chunyan, Han Jiayan and other clan uncles of the Han family in Xiangzhou and even other descendants of the same clan who also received official status to abandon their family reputation and defect to Luocao of Xiaotang to become rebels against the imperial court; Yang Wen It is also absolutely impossible to abandon the foundation of Tianbo Mansion, which represents the loyalty of the Yang family for generations and to serve the country bravely, and become a traitor against the imperial court together with Yang Zhiyi.
When Yang Wen looked at Yang Zhi again, he saw that his distant brother was really angry. When he used the knife to kill Gao Qiu, the linen wrapped around him oozed red blood. Those wounds were also blocked by Yang Zhi at that time. Yang Wen sighed as he tried his best to block the rain of powerful crossbow arrows in front of him. He felt a lot and looked at Yang Zhi again with a look of guilt.
When Yang Zhi saw Yang Wen's expression of shame, he also sighed and said, "Why don't I understand my brother's concerns? Even I, Yang Zhi, am unworthy and ashamed of my ancestors, and now I have decided to find another way to make contributions and become famous with my brother. As for Tianbo Mansion in Bianjing, the descendants of my Yang family must continue to control it, and it must not decline. My brother should uphold the long-cherished wish of our Yang family and still serve the imperial court. It seems that I, Yang Zhi, have rebelled against my ancestors. As taught by our ancestors, sooner or later... my clan brother will eventually understand that you and I have reached the same destination through different paths."
Han Cunbao smiled miserably and said to Xiao Tang: "Nephew Xiao Xian...Xiao Renxia...if you leave the capital, it will be extremely difficult for you to be used by the court again. It's what you once said to Xiao Tang.
We have a good relationship with the Han family, and we are old acquaintances. Originally, I was already a has-been character. Now that I am responsible for the defeat, I have to return to Tokyo to listen to the crime. Even if I am cut off from my job, I will be free.
There is no need to be enemies with you and other bandits who have betrayed the imperial court... But no matter how bad I, Han Cunbao, am, I will never tarnish the reputation of the Han family. I have no choice but to let Xiang Yuanzhen and other old brothers go and stay.
Zi Zi, I hope you can understand me."
Xiao Tang listened to Han Cunbao's heartfelt words. He nodded slowly and said, "Han Jieshuai and Yang Jieshuai are responsible for the family's reputation. I can understand the concerns of others, and I am determined not to force them. But now Wang Jieshuai is responsible for the family's reputation.
Senior King Huan has not yet recovered from his serious injury, and Senior Mei Zhanmei will arrive at Liangshanbo soon... You are all veteran generals who have accumulated meritorious service, and you are in the same spirit with each other. You might as well visit Wang
After King Huan Jiedu wakes up, he will catch up with his old friends for a few more days. If he wants to go back to the court, I will personally send him off."
