Chapter 675 How can you, Li Kui, pay back the great favor?
He has worked hard all his life, but he cannot be tolerated by the government. Although Li Yun hates his apprentice Zhu Fu for plotting, what is the use of completely breaking up with him and Liang Shan? Moreover, there is no wife or children in the family, and he has always been honest and only receives government salary. He didn't have much wealth, so he simply went to Liangshan, which was very convenient.
Although Li Kui was a fool, his murderous nature was gone now, and he knew that he relied on Zhu Fu to save him this time. Seeing that his master was willing to follow them to Liangshan, he grinned and said in a low voice: " My brother, why didn't you tell me earlier, so why bother with this?"
Li Yun snorted heavily, thought for a long time, and then said: "But it doesn't suit me as a public servant, and this time I have been ordered to arrest this black whirlwind and bring him to justice. I'm afraid that the people in Liangshan will be suspicious and won't let me go."
Zhu Fu laughed when he heard this and said: "Master, how come you don't know the name of Shandong Shiyu? He is not from the county police department? Brother Song Jiang specializes in recruiting talents and making friends with the world's heroes. Looking at the green forest, except for Xiao Tang, Xiao Renxia, Brother Song Jiang His reputation as a friend of all the powerful people in the world is only slightly inferior to his."
After all, Zhu Fu still doesn't know that Xiao Tang, who is famous for his black and white sects, and is currently doing official business on Hedong Road, is the same person as "Quan Yu" who killed his brother Zhu Gui. But when Li Kui heard Zhu Fu mention Xiao Tang With his name, he immediately remembered the situation when the two of them first met. Li Kui, who also had an extremely sensitive side of his mind, immediately exhaled two blasts of breath from his nostrils. He snorted and cursed: "What kind of bird is Xiao Tang? I am my brother Gongming. How could he not be as good as him? That guy was called Ren Xia in vain, he was just a dog official who acted based on the emperor's face.
Now we also have many soldiers and horses in Liangshan. It is a rebellion, which is convenient! At that time, we will fight to Bianliang in Tokyo to seize the bird throne. Brother Chao Gai will become the great emperor, brother Song Jiang will become the little emperor, Wu Xuexue, and Mr. Liu will become The prime minister can be the right and left, Taoist Gongsun can be the national counselor, and we can all be happy as generals. Isn’t it better than Xiao Tang’s fellow who serves as the slave of the Bird Emperor?"
Hearing Li Kui speak nonsense, a look of hesitation appeared on Li Yun's face. Li's mother, who had been languishing on the sidelines, was greatly favored by Xiao Tang, and his name has always been in her heart. Hearing Li Kui insult Xiao Tang, Li Yun The mother immediately stood up tremblingly, pointed at Li Kui and said heartbrokenly: "You unworthy son! If it hadn't been for Xiao Tang's grace to save you, my mother would have cried blindly thinking about you, a traitor like you! My father-in-law has treated us so well. The Li family has great kindness, and I also know that you are really reckless and straightforward. Even if you are trying to imitate others in the world of martial arts, you would rather imitate the evil deeds of murder and arson. Why don't you imitate your benefactor more often!?"
Being pointed at the nose and scolded by his mother again, Li Kui felt that he could not hold back his face. In shame and desperation, his playful and mischievous temper broke out again, and he immediately shouted: "Mother! Xiao Tang, that fellow It is true that he had his eye disease cured by a doctor, but I kowtowed to him a few times when I was in Jiangzhou. Those birds were not some living gods who could predict the future, but they had to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and lie to him about what he said about not being able to walk on a secluded path. , there must be a bloody disaster. If mother Xie didn’t insist on believing in that guy, how could we have been tricked by that dry donkey bird in Yiling when we were walking on the official road, and we would have suffered humiliation? That guy farted like a bird, supposedly. I'll take that big ax to chop his mother, I won't care about him, I've already repaid Xiao Tang's favor!"
Zhu Fu was startled when he heard this. He said: "Brother Li Kui, after you returned home to take over the throne that night, you originally planned to take a remote path in the mountains? It's dangerous, but also very lucky! You don't know something, but my younger brother has been living in the county for a long time. , the seal announcements issued by the surrounding villages are not clear. However, when my younger brother sent people to Yiling to inquire about the news, he also knew that three or five months ago, there were two large, two small and one more nests on the hills from Baizhang Village to Yiling. Big insect.
Those big bugs often come out at night to hurt people, and have already destroyed the lives of many pedestrians. The county government lawsuit is now limited to the hunting of hunters. Although the two little tigers are not a big deal, the two big tigers are not trivial! My brother is extravagant. , it is very difficult to resist just one tiger, how can it withstand those big insects? What’s more, if my brother is traveling with his mother, wouldn’t he be in vain for his life!?”
......What?
Li Kui was dumbfounded after hearing this. He had been away from Yishui County for a long time, and most of the time when he walked, he just walked without a clue. Even when he saw the official list, Li Kui didn't even know the big characters. If Zhu Fu hadn't told him now, he would have How could he know that there was a nest of man-eating tigers in the mountains and wilderness not far from his hometown?
Li Yun, who was still looking gloomy at the side, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Zhu Fu's words are not bad. Now the county government is about to issue an order to teach guests to wait for their companions to form a team. You can only cross the hill at noon, and you are not allowed to walk on wild trails during the other hours. The county government has removed those large insects in front of the hunters in the mountains. Now they can't kill the tigers, and the hunters in Yiling have no idea how many meals they have eaten. Stick. You have to walk through the mountains and trails at night, and you even take my mother with you... Huh! You don't care about your life, but you obviously wanted to pick up your mother and enjoy the blessings, but you almost caused her to die. belly!"
"Bah! A few big insects are nothing but birds. If I had those two axes in my hand, even if there were a few more birds and big insects, I would just chop up those beasts like they were cats!"
The embarrassed Li Kui wanted to save face. Although he wanted to bite his tongue, he broke into a cold sweat all over his body. He also secretly said that it was very dangerous. I returned all the way from Liangshanbo to Baizhang Village. I wanted to go to the village to have fun for my mother. , but if my mother was really eaten by a bird or a big insect, wouldn’t it be that I was the one who caused my mother to die miserably due to exhaustion? My master, is Xiao Tang really such a wicked person? If he really guessed it, wouldn’t I owe him another debt? What a huge favor!?
The more Li Kui thought about it, the more depressed he felt. Now he had already decided to sell his life to Brother Song Jiang. As for Xiao Tang and Li Kui's first meeting in Jiangzhou, they were already very murderous towards him. I don't like it very much. Secondly, Li Kui speaks freely and has a surly temper. Xiao Tang acts on both sides of the officialdom and in the green forest, determined not to leak anything. If he accepts a person like Li Kui, it will certainly do more harm than good. Yes. So there was no intention to recruit Li Kui from Dai Zong, who was still a small prison boy at that time.
And Li Kui could more or less feel that Xiao Tang didn't like him very much, so he also had a deep prejudice against Xiao Tang in his heart, but now his mother has indeed received great kindness from others again and again, and she was cured the first time. His mother's eye disease was a warning in advance, and Li Kui's mother was not allowed to die tragically in the wild mountains due to her negligence.
Although he has a violent and reckless temperament, Li Kui asked himself that after all, he is still a good-looking green forest hero. At this time, he secretly thought in his heart: Guan Pu is always playing money, and this is also the person I Tieniu gambles the most with, Xiao Tang, that guy, Although I have never had a close relationship with him, my wife and I have benefited from his kindness, so it is important to be a good man and repay him... Otherwise, I always feel like I am choking in my heart. How can I have a way out of my life?
That's all! When I bump into Xiao Tang again in the future, whether I fight for him twice or help him kill a few birdmen, in short, I don't want to owe him a favor, so why don't I just help him twice? If I can
If I returned his favor earlier, I would not have to teach Xiao Tang to look down on him again, and it would be easier for me to explain it to my mother!
.....................
Soon after, Zhu Fu, Li Kui, and Li Yun set out on the road again, carrying Li Kui's mother. When they were planning to rescue Li Kui, Zhu Fu had already sent someone to find a car, tied up three or five suitcases, and brought it with her.
In the car, he asked his wife and children to get on the car and assigned two Huo families to take care of them. They were waiting not far from the official road for Zhu Fu and others to go to Liangshanbo... But now it was not only Li Kuiyin.
I was greatly troubled by the events of Xiao and Tang Dynasty. Far away in Jizhou, Nanjing Road in the Liao Dynasty, a blessed land like a cave and heaven. In the Zixu Temple of Erxian Mountain in the Immortal Cave Mansion, an exclamation suddenly rang out: "Master, you really know that the Xiao family is gathered together."
The characters? They have devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism and have lived in seclusion for many years. They have long ignored the worldly affairs. The Xiao family is far away in Daming Mansion, Hebei Province. How does Master have anything to do with those characters?"
