Over in Shijia Village, Huayin County, Shi Jin bound Chen Da and Yang Chun, the two Shaohuashan chieftains, back to Shijiazhuang. Out of respect for their deep loyalty, he did not tie Chen Da and Yang Chun Wuhuada, but only handed them over to Shijiazhuang.
They were imprisoned in tile-roofed houses without their weapons, and they drank and ate every day without neglecting food.
Chen Da and Yang Chun didn't know that Shi Jin was used to seeing heroic things in the wild. In the past, he had a good rapport with the green forest heroes under Xiao Tang's command. Seeing that Shi Jin had no intention of bringing them to the official level, he treated them very politely.
, this made Chen Da and Yang Chun confused as to what Shi Dalang planned to do with them.
"That Nine-Patterned Dragon Shi Jin is a very heroic man. He does have real abilities. We brothers were easily defeated by him even if we worked together. This time... we really messed with the wrong person." In the tile-roofed house, Yang Chun leaned on
Wallhead sighed and said.
Chen Da was originally a competitive man. Normally, if he heard Yang Chun and his sworn brother Zhu Wu praise others, Chen Da would definitely argue with them. But now, the power of He He and his two brothers is no match for Shi Dalang.
, but was easily captured by him again. Such a disastrous defeat left Chen Da with no intention of showing off his strength.
At this time, Chen Da felt suffocated in his heart. He cursed in annoyance and said: "That guy is more powerful than us, I agree! But what does he mean by holding us here?"
Yang Chun thought for a moment and said: "Listen to Shi Dalang's words, don't you want to wait until the elder brother comes to make a fuss?"
"Even if Shi Dalang is very capable, it's still too much!" Chen Da snorted heavily and said to Yang Chun: "I underestimated Shi Jin, and I couldn't resist him when I went to confront him.
It also caused you and me to be captured by him. But even if Shi Jin is an expert in martial arts, my eldest brother still has five to seven hundred children. How many men and horses does Shijiazhuang have? Can he withstand the enemy?"
When Yang Chun heard that Chen Dawu wanted to speak harshly, he shook his head and sighed: "Brother, if all of us come to fight to the death, I'm afraid there will be a fight to the death. Are you really willing to fight with Shi Dalang like this?"
Are you waiting for heroes to form mortal enemies?"
"I..." Chen Da was speechless for a moment. Although he was captured by Shi Jin, he was indeed provoking the other party first. Moreover, Shi Jin treated the two prisoners very kindly. If he had known about this incident in Shijiazhuang earlier,
Shi Dalang is so great, Chen Da has not had time to get to know him, so why would he easily fight to the death with such a person?
Seeing that Chen Da was speechless for a moment, Yang Chun comforted him and said: "I see that Shi Dalang has no intention to embarrass our brothers. The eldest brother is very strategic and has a calculation in his heart. With him dealing with Shi Dalang, he may be able to talk to Shijiazhuang."
If we can make peace, there is no other way at the moment, we just wait and see."
Just as Yang Chun said, the gangsters who retreated from Shijiazhuang to the Shaohua Mountain stronghold reported Chen Da to the leader Zhu Wu. After both Yang Chun and Yang Chun were captured alive by Shi Jin, Zhu Wu asked the gangster about Ming and Chen Da.
Da and Yang Chun's reaction when the two of them confronted each other, Zhu Wu already had a plan in his mind after just thinking about it for a moment...
When Zhu Wu, the master of the Shaohua village, made up his mind and rushed to Shijiazhuang alone, the second group of confidants under Xiaotang Lulin, five hundred strong and strong, and two hundred thousand stones of food and grass had also arrived at Pi Island.
Xiao Tang, who came to greet him together with Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Yi, Zhang Shun and other brothers, first saw Pei Xuan with a tough face. However, he saw that he was white and plump, but he was also elegant and could be said to be a talented person.
Xiao Tang raised his hand to Pei Xuan and said: "I have heard for a long time that Pei Kongmu is upright and a gentleman who enforces the law impartially. Everyone in the Jingzhao Mansion praises him for being an iron-faced man. It is a pity that traitors are now in power, and a good official like Pei Kongmu has been unfairly humiliated.
"
Although Pei Xuan had good facial features, there seemed to be a lack of interest between his brows, and his eyes seemed to be a little blurry as if they were out of focus. When hearing Xiao Tang praise him, Pei Xuan smiled a little and returned Xiao Tang's greeting: "
Xiao Renxia was so praised that Xiao Ke was ashamed of himself. Now Xiao Ke is in trouble for his country and his family is in trouble. It is only because of Xiao Renxia's kindness that he is able to survive. Xiao Ke is deeply grateful for such a great kindness and virtue. Xiao Renxia only has instructions.
You should obey."
Xiao Tang frowned slightly, thinking that this was not the iron-faced look he had in mind.
It is said that after Pei Xuan was framed, he was rescued by Deng Fei and was regarded as the leader of Yinmachuan Village. Later, when Deng Fei proposed to him to return to Liangshan, Pei Xuan agreed happily. But now, after he was rescued by his brothers, he was
Although Kong Mu was not very reluctant when he was assigned to be here to check for adultery, there always seemed to be a sense of resignation in his tone.
However, Xiao Tang then thought about it. The current Pei Xuan was framed by traitors, rescued on the way to the army, and then transferred to this island by Xiao Tang. The time interval was not long. I am afraid that he has not adapted to this huge island for a while.
A sense of gap.
Just imagine that Kong Muguan, who was famous for enforcing the law and correcting the principles and disciplines, was suddenly persecuted by the government he relied on. At the end of the road, he was rescued by some green forest strongmen who regarded the official law as nothing. Pei Xuan felt this crooked feeling.
Before he could get around, he was soon invited by Xiao Tang to start his old job in this foreign land... How could Pei Xuan take up his post immediately like a normal person?
Xiao Tang also thought of the scene in the original work where Pei Xuan danced his sword drunkenly in the pavilion on the back mountain the night before he set off from Yinmachuan to Liangshan. It was quite similar to the Taibai layman who was dissatisfied with official affairs and got drunk in front of the bright moon.
It means wild. Pei Xuan was disheartened by the officialdom, but he should still be a little unwilling in his heart at this time. After all, a person has persisted in something for half his life, how could he give up just because he said he wanted to?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang said to Pei Xuan again: "When Pei Kongmu was at Erlong Mountain, he must have known the plan in my heart."
The corner of Pei Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he bowed slightly to Xiao Tang and said: "I have great trust in Xiao Renxia. The leader of the village sent people to Jingzhao Mansion to pick me up. When I was young, Xiao Ke already knew that Xiao Renxia was developing in the green forest.
Momentum and grand plans. Xiao Ren's heroic spirit is clearly appreciated by the officials, but he insists on joining the righteousness with the green forest heroes. Now Xiao Ke just admires him."
"But if Pei Kongmu hadn't been framed by the traitor, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought this way..." Xiao Tang said with a smile, and then his face straightened up and he said: "What is heaven without distinguishing between black and white?
Distinguishing loyalties and traitors is a waste of time. I have established a new world here so that the people under my rule will no longer suffer from the pain of being wronged. But I have to rely on Pei Kong to distinguish right from wrong, distinguish between loyal and traitors, and serve this world again.
It’s time to decide what’s right and wrong!”
Pei Xuan was suddenly startled. After a while, there seemed to be a strange look in his eyes. Pei Xuan slowly closed his eyes again and murmured: "A gentleman cannot bear to have his ambitions humiliated, and a villain cannot bear to harm his body;
A gentleman avoids chaos, while a villain reaches the court... Haha, I was wrong about some things."
When Pei Xuan opened his eyes again, he bowed deeply to Xiao Tang again. At this time, Wen Huanzhang was suddenly in a trance, and he was reciting Xiao Tang's words again and again: "What is heaven without distinguishing between right and wrong, and between loyalty and treachery?" For the land…”
Xiao Tang turned to look at Wen Huanzhang and said: "Mr. Wen, since you and I went together on the South Beijing Road, I have to ask you to help me this time."
Wen Huanzhang sighed sadly and said: "Today is different from the past. At that time, I was still obsessed with fame, and what was in my heart was the government and the court. But this time, I sincerely want to serve Xiao Renxia as my master... But Xiao Renxia, it's okay to talk about it after the incident. But there is something that needs to be sent to Bianjing as soon as possible, otherwise there is no guarantee that Gao Qiu will not take the opportunity to cause trouble."
After hearing this, Xiao Tang was stunned and asked Wen Huanzhang: "What is the important matter? Why would Gao Qiu seek bad luck for me at this time?"
Wen Huanzhang smiled slightly and said: "I'd like to teach Xiao Renxia to know that before we took the boat to cross the sea, news came from the North: It was said that Wei, as the envoy of the Song Dynasty to the Liao Dynasty, was rushing to the North to purchase northern goods. In Zhushi, he was ambushed by the mob and unfortunately died."
"Ah? Ah?" Xiao Tang's mouth grew louder after hearing this, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
