Chapter 1692 The people in the Water Margin are not slaves after all
The pain was so severe that Chen Xizhen was covered in cold sweat. At this time, he could no longer put on a calm and calm air as before. He covered his knees and rolled on the ground. He was already weak and exhausted. The stone seemed to have directly knocked out one of his legs. Even though he still struggled to stand up and tried to escape, after several attempts, Chen Xizhen still fell heavily to the ground and was seriously injured. , and no longer had any strength to continue struggling to survive.
Soon, Chen Xizhen also felt that he had been shrouded in many dark shadows. The surroundings were densely packed with ambush soldiers who suddenly came out and completely surrounded him. It's over... there is still no way to escape. Cover me, Chen Daozi. After half a lifetime, all the traps have been exhausted, and now it’s finally time to retire...
Chen Xizhen was thinking desperately in his heart, when suddenly he heard someone say coldly to him: "Chen Xizhen, do you know what this area is called?"
How could Chen Xizhen not recognize the voice of his great enemy? He gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at him with resentful eyes, and saw Xiao Tang condescendingly looking down at him. There was also murderous intent in his eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "The Qingsong Slope is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in the north of Daming Mansion, Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County, adjacent to Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County and Kongsongzhuang in Qinghe County in Enzhou to the north. When I was with It was here that Brother Wu and other brothers encountered a gang of treacherous and evil people fighting each other, which later led to many troubles, and finally contributed to my future fortune... This is also a coincidence, and here is also But the place where I made my fortune has become the place where you, a sanctimonious, treasonous thief and traitor seeking glory for your country, finally fell into my hands."
Chen Xizhen laughed twice. Even though the situation was over, there was no trace of panic or despair on his face. Instead, he tried his best to show a calm posture. He also had the idea in his heart that since he had to die, he would fight to the death as much as possible. He had vicious thoughts. However, after listening to Xiao Tang's deep voice, before Chen Xizhen could take advantage of the nonsense and was about to exert his strength, Yan Qing, who had been following Xiao Tang, suddenly had his eyes brightened, and his body suddenly trembled. Gone with the wind, he immediately rushed forward!
Yan Xiaoyi was smart and alert. First, he immediately stretched out his foot and kicked away the sword that fell beside Chen Xizhen. Then he saw that although the man was lying on the ground, his hands seemed to be tightly grasping the ground, but they were bent. Claws, blue veins suddenly popped up on the backs of both hands, and it seemed that he was trying to hurt someone. When Yan Qing saw this, his figure suddenly floated, and he pressed down with one knee, pressing hard against Chen Xizhen. At the shoulder blades, there was a crisp clicking sound of bones. Chen Xizhen, who really wanted to make a move, suddenly felt that half of his arms were numb and weak. His body was lying on the ground like a bastard, and it was even harder to get up!
It can be said that before Chen Xizhen met Xiao Tang, his old enemy, he not only had a face-to-face fight with Yan Qing, but also had a boxing contest and was able to gain an advantage. However, now that he was defeated cleanly by Yan Qing, instead It seemed that a weak scholar with no strength in his hands met an expert who was proficient in boxing. This also made Chen Xizhen immediately shocked and secretly said:
Originally, with my ability that I had worked hard for many years, supplemented by the Xuanmen Qi-nurturing Kung Fu, I was sure to be able to defeat Yan Qing, the confidant of Xiao Tang's thief It seems to be mixed with internal breathing skills. Even if I am weak and seriously injured, how can I be restrained by this little guy with just one move!?
The handsome and upright Yan Qing's face was full of anger and indifference. He looked down, and immediately used the method of grabbing the wrong tendons, and grabbed the key points of Chen Xizhen's shoulder joints as if using light and shadow. , and on the other side of Xiaotang, Xiao Yi saw this and angrily cursed: "You are a traitor, you are about to die, and you still want to do evil!"
Immediately, Xiao Yi also rushed forward and kicked Chen Xizhen hard on the back of the head. His face hit the ground and he was like a wild dog chewing mud and eating shit. Two teeth in his mouth immediately fell out. A large number of soldiers Jian immediately pounced forward, but Yan Qing grabbed his vitals and was unable to break free. Chen Xizhen had no choice but to let the sergeants use all their skills to tie him up tightly, like making a rice dumpling. He can't make any more moves...
Chen Xizhen, who kept preaching that he understood the difference between thieves and loyalties, and had a deep hatred for the green forest troops who resisted the tyranny of the imperial court, finally revealed his true colors, a slave leader who flattered and bent his knees to serve the foreign invaders. At this point, he was completely under Xiao Tang's control. It won't make any waves.
Now that Chen Xizhen, the dog thief, has also been captured alive, Xiao Tang has ordered several rebel groups to continue to clear out the remaining remnants in Qingsongpo and even the mountains spreading to the south, and is ready to return to Daming Mansion.
During this period, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao settled down the two brothers Liu Er and Liu San who were injured successively in the Mandrill Army. They also came to return their lives to Xiao Tang. Naturally, they were rounded up and hunted by another evil Zhu Yongjin. The fact that his nephew Zhu Biao died together is completely clear. As for Zhu Biao's sudden sudden appearance at a time when he was completely unprepared, it turned out to be Zhu Yongjin who was caught off guard with a knife and stabbed his vitals. This also shocked Xiao Tang and even the brothers around him. Wondering endlessly.
However, when Xie Zhen recounted Zhu Biao's last words, Xiao Tang hesitated for a moment and secretly said: According to Zhu Biao's temperament, in the original work, he did not show any mercy to Li Ying, who was a peer of his father. Instead, he provoked and insulted him, which made him so angry that the alliance between Lijiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang, which was controlled by Napu Tiandiao on Dulonggang, immediately broke off. In addition, when Zhujiazhuang obtained several Liangshan leaders, he did not take into account the information in the book. Hu Sanniang, who was engaged to be married, was also captured by Liangshan, causing Hu Cheng to have no choice but to go to Baba to pay homage to Song Jiang Zhouquan, which led to Zhu and Hu's two families who had shared weal and woe also tended to break up. This also shows that he is not only weak-minded, but also a typical domineering person. , a rich second-generation son-in-law who not only doesn’t know the bounds of heaven and earth, but also only thinks about himself;
As for Zhu Yongjin (Zhu Yongqing), what kind of person is that beast? According to his original trajectory, he worked together with several officers and generals of the Song Dynasty Military Division. On the surface, they assisted each other vigorously, which could be regarded as trusting each other with their lives. But after turning to Chen Xizhen, he He immediately spoke ill of his colleague Pao Ze and said: "...These people have ulterior motives. Taishan needs to be careful when using them."... However, the person Zhu Yongqing slandered was always diligent and diligent when taking orders from Chen Xizhen, and made great achievements. Even though Chen Xizhen, who had already formed a strong relationship with Zhu Yongjin, never mentioned the credit of others during the success of the award, it was enough to see that Zhu Yongjin pretended to be a good-natured person on the surface, but in fact he was just trying to gain power by the sinister person behind the scenes. He was a hypocrite with clever tricks, so he could win over people who were useful to him. However, Zhu Yongjin had a selfish nature and was not very human at all.
There are two uncles and nephews who are about the same age. One is Zhu Biao, a domineering disciple who thought he was the best in the world at first, and he was so respectful and affectionate. The other is selfish to the core.
He must have always disliked his nephew. Zhu Yongjin, who was absolutely powerful and looked down on Zhu Biao as useless, insisted on forcing the two of them together. The relationship between the uncle and nephew would only continue.
It is not surprising that there is an accumulation of hatred.
In addition, Zhu Biao must have known for a long time that Chen Xizhen had intentionally acquiesced, and even assisted Ximen Qing, a powerful thief at the time, to get involved with Hu Sanniang, who was already engaged to him. According to his temperament, he probably already hated Chen Xizhen and Zhu Yongqing deeply. But after losing power, he had no choice but to
He hid his resentment in his heart. As for what Zhu Biao said before he died, Zhujiazhuang was originally a people of the Song Dynasty and was dedicated to pacifying the green forest and grass bandits. However, except for Zhu Yongjin, he was determined not to surrender to the Tatars of the Jin Kingdom.
The slave behavior that harmed the country in the Central Plains also made Xiao Tang unable to help but feel a emotion that only he himself could experience personally:
Even Zhu Biao is indeed at odds with Shuibo Liangshan, but after all, he is from the Water Margin, and he is definitely not a sanctimonious gangster slave...
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao had always regarded Zhu Yongjin as his enemy, and when he finally could not find Xiao Tang to avenge him, he chose to violently kill him, and his motives for dying with Zhu Yongjin were roughly figured out.
However, speaking of the so-called remaining gangsters, she should be the only one left...
