Chapter 292 Return to the capital, Bian Shuizhou Bridge
When Xiao Tang returned to Mujiazhuang, Jieyang Town, Zhang Shun had also picked up his mother from his home on the banks of the Xunyang River and was preparing to set off with Xiao Tang to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Zhang Shun's mother was a down-to-earth old woman. When she saw Xiao Tang, she wanted to bow down and salute. Xiao Tang hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Shun's mother and said, "You can't help it. Don't do this, you will kill this junior!"
Zhang Shun's mother said repeatedly: "Mr., Ming, alas... Of my two sons, the eldest son is used to being overbearing, and I can't control him. But my second son is kind and down-to-earth, but he is used to hanging out with his elder brother."
Let him do some blackmailing and good deeds in the Xunyang River. But God has a vision? My Erlang had just made up his mind to change his life, and he was praised by the adults and asked my son to come to the capital of the Song Dynasty to show off his skills.
It won’t cause me to be frightened... This gentleman is the noble person in my son’s life, and he deserves to be worshiped by me.”
Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel ashamed after listening to his mother's words. Xiao Tang finally helped Zhang Shun's mother and was comforting Mu Hong. The two Mu Chun brothers walked into the hall. Mu Hong cupped his fists at Xiao Tang and said, "Xiao Tang
I have arranged the carriages for Ren Xia, Zhang Shun and Li Zhi."
After Zhang Shun heard this, he greeted Mu Hong and said, "Brother Mu Hong, I'd like to thank you for your help."
Mu Hong chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Not only are Xiao Renxia's brothers, but they are also good men in the world! Brother Zhang Shun is so polite to me, but it's foreign!"
Xiao Tang looked at Mu Hong. Mu Chun, the two brothers, had indeed done a lot of bullying and tyrannical things in Jieyang Town. If they dared to go against these two brothers in the town, the Mu brothers would indeed do it.
The master who kills people with black hands.
But it would not be wrong to say that the two of them were completely conscientious in the fish and meat village. After all, the father of the Mu brothers, Mu Taigong, was kind and generous. He often warned the two brothers not to knock on doors and annoy the villagers. These days are bleak.
Observing Mu Hong, it seems that this unprotected person can only do three things: eat wine, practice martial arts, and fight. Unless they openly lose face with the two brothers, Mu Hong and Mu Chun will not bully the weak without asking what is right and wrong.
.
The Mu brothers, especially Mu Hong, are very similar to those rebellious and ignorant young people in later generations who were in their prime of life and were deeply influenced by gang culture such as Young and Dangerous. They took loyalty and face too seriously. He did this
The Three Hegemons of Jieyang are very ruthless and want to save face. Anyone who dares to touch his brother without paying the "protection fee" will immediately find his place like a gangster. But if he can be honest with him, this
Mu Hong would not hesitate to rush forward to block the knife for his brother.
And Mu Chun only relied on his big brother who was brave and fierce, and rushed to stand up for him without saying a word when he suffered a loss, so he couldn't get even the slightest bit of birdiness. The final ending of the book also explains the story of this little obstructionist.
Personality: After Mu Hong died of illness and Mu Chun resigned from office and returned home, he was no longer the playboy bully who flaunted his power and exploited the past, but "returned to Jieyang Township and became a good citizen."
The two Mu brothers should not be punished for their crimes now, not to mention that they helped Xiao Tang a lot because of their loyalty, and for Mu Taigong's sake, Xiao Tang would not be able to treat them coldly because of Mu Hong and Mu Chun's past misdeeds.
.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang smiled at Mu Hong again and said: "Brother Mu Hong, do you want to keep the bet between you and me that day? In fact, it seems that the two of you are from wealthy families, and you are not inferior to those of the martial arts merchants from outside Jieyang Town.
Be filial to Yinliang. I also know that your two brothers are nothing more than being looked down upon, and they only want to fight for face.
If you are really an upright hero, it is not your ability to trouble those ordinary businessmen who are living in the world and working hard for a few small profits. Only if you use your skills to compete with the tough guys in the world, then you can be regarded as an upright good man. !I wonder if Brother Mu Hong can listen to my advice?"
Mu Hong pondered for a moment, then suddenly grinned and said: "Xiao Renxia, besides Xie and my father, if anyone else dares to preach to me like this, I will have to say hello with my fist! But I understand what Xie said. That day with Xiao Renxia Even after the competition, I was convinced. Xiao Renxia gave an order to summon many heroes in the world to rescue Li Zhi who was framed by the dog-eating officer. I, Mu Hong, also admired such a righteous act! Since I let Xiao Renxia defeat me, I should do it myself. I’m willing to admit defeat!”
After saying that, Mu Hong turned to Mu Chun, glared, and said: "Did you hear me clearly? Don't go to the shops in the town to ask for money or goods again! Otherwise, don't say that I won't stand up for you anymore. I recognize you." This brother, I don’t recognize these fists!”
Mu Chun grinned and said with an apologetic smile: "How can I be ignorant, little brother?" Xiao Renxia said eloquently, I will no longer tangle with those idiots who have no eyebrows. If they don't mess with us, I have no reason. What are you doing to find bad luck in them?"
Taigong Mu was furious after hearing this. He pointed at Mu Hong, and Mu Chun scolded angrily: "Two unscrupulous rebellious sons! Over the years, my father has taken great pains to tell you to stop causing trouble. You two Just treat it as a deaf ear! Now Xiao Renxia only advises you a few words, but it is much more effective than what I say!"
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Mu Taigong arranged a banquet again, and waited for Xiao Tang and others to attend the banquet. After the banquet, Xiao Tang, Shi Xiu, Yan Qing, Zhang Shun, Li Zhi and Zhang Shun's mother set off on their journey. When we arrived at the intersection of Jiangnan East Road in Jiangzhou and Huainan West Road in Huangzhou, we had already packed up our money, silk, food and grass and prepared to move to Shiliang Mountain, and people from Huangmen Mountain were already waiting here.
Seeing Xiao Tang greeting him, Yuan Lang, the master of Shiliang Village, and Ou Peng, the master of Huangmen Village, clasped their fists at him in greeting. Xiao Tang said to the two of them: "Brother Yuan Lang leads his troops back to Shiliang Mountain and must pass through Jinghu North Road; Ou Peng When the Peng brothers go north to Qingzhou, they must take the fork in front of Qizhou, Shouzhou and Bozhou. When they join brother Zhishen in Erlongshan, they will have their own way to communicate with the Oupeng brothers. Brothers, be careful all the way, Qingshan will not change. The green water will flow forever, we gather together to achieve great things, and I also look forward to the time when I can meet my brothers."
Yuan Lang nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother! Brother Xi Sheng, the Teng brothers and I are taking care of each other on the southwestern road of Beijing. Everything is going according to brother's plan and there will be no mistakes. Brother also knows that brother Xun is restless. Man, when there is still such a mission, you must call your brothers again to help my brother!"
Ou Peng also said: "For the newly surrendered Xiang troops, I will follow my brother's instructions and each of us brothers will lead a team and go north separately, so that they will not be attacked by the officials on the road due to the large number of people. Erlong Mountain's Since brother Lu Zhishen is Xiao Renxia's sworn brother, he must also be a hero of luxury. The four of us brothers should do our best to help brother Zhishen manage the affairs of the village."
Xiao Tang also talked with his confidants such as Gu Jian, the Ma brothers, Jiang Jing, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang, etc., and then entrusted Li Zhi to Ou Peng and others. After all, Zhang Shun's mother, who was traveling with Xiao Tang, was from a fisherman's family. The woman who was born in Fen was inevitably frightened when she saw many rough and strong men gathered in the two mountains, so everyone left at the three-way intersection, and the three groups of people went to Bianliang in Tokyo, Gyeonggi Road, Shiliang Mountain in Xiangzhou, and Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou.
Compared with the constant turmoil all the way to Jiangzhou, Xiao Tang and others' return trip was uneventful. They traveled around the mountains and rivers along the way. After about half a month, they returned to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Zhang Shun and his mother arrived in the capital for the first time, and they were both dazzled by the bustling scene in Bianjing. Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that Bianliang in Tokyo is the most prosperous place in the Song Dynasty. I saw it today." As expected! It’s true that I am vulgar, and seeing such a scene in the capital is just dazzling to me.”
Yan Qing said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Shun is too modest. I'm afraid that the Bianshui in the capital is not enough to make him fall into the river. All the brothers in Brother Xiao's house have their own abilities, but if we talk about high and low in water, I'm afraid that all the people in the capital will be in trouble." He is not even as good as Brother Zhang Shun."
Zhang Shun also got to know Yan Qing a lot during these days. After hearing this, he laughed and said, "Xiao Yi is joking again! What does my ability mean? When arguing with others, I can't first find a good solution. Isn’t it right to dive in head first and then let go of others?”
While the brothers were joking among themselves, Xiao Tang and his entourage had already entered Tokyo City and arrived in front of the Zhouqiao Bridge not far from Xiao Tang's residence. They could see people surging up and down the Zhouqiao Bridge, and the people in the city were crowded together. Xiao Tang's chariots and horses could not move at all.
When Shi Xiu was about to ride his horse forward and tell the people to retreat, he was stopped by Xiao Tang and said: "Don't be busy, it is not the day of the temple fair. The people gathered here to watch, maybe something happened in front of them." Incident."
When Xiao Tang got off his horse and was about to squeeze through the crowd to find out what was going on, he suddenly heard a hoarse wail coming from the side of Zhouqiao: "Gao Yanei! You are such a heartless beast!"
