Chapter 743 The Taoist priest in the strongman, the second undercover in Liangshan
It is said that Xiao Tang is acting in an official capacity now, and Gongsun Sheng is the leader of Liangshan Bo Village who has a very playful attitude with Xiao Tang's forces such as Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, Xiao Jiaji, etc. He wants to introduce people in Liangshan to find his brother.
, it also means that the secret that Xiao Tang and "Quan Yu" are the same person has been exposed. If others want to visit Xiao Tang, who obviously holds an important official position in the court, but find Erlong Mountain, Yinma River and other places to go, I'm afraid
The confidant brothers under Xiao Tang's command have long wanted to take him down for questioning, and they must ask how Xiao Tang's secret as the co-owner of Green Forest Mountains was leaked.
However, Luo Zhenren's closed disciple Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng was an exception.
The Phantom Lord Qiao Daoqing, who is now in charge of the green forest troops along Yinmachuan in Jizhou, is also more familiar with the friendship between Xiao Tang and Zhenren Luo than any other brother under Xiao Tang. Since Gongsun Sheng wanted to meet Xiao Tang, he found Yin
Going to Ma Chuan also means that Zhenren Luo has hinted to his disciples that Ren Xia Xiao Tang and Iron Masked Haechi Quan Yu are the same person.
Since Luo Zhenren is a hermit who practices Taoism outside, Xiao Tang also knows very well that the other party has the so-called "heavenly secret" in him, so he will definitely not do anything to harm him. Although Gongsun Sheng is the leader of Liangshan Bozhong, he
But it can be said that he is the only member of the Taoist sect in the village who will not be fettered by the loyalty of the green forest, and even all his actions must strictly abide by his master's decree.
Although green forest heroes such as Li Jun, Mu Hong, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng had met Xiao Tang before, they also valued loyalty. If Xiao Tang really turned against Song Jiang, they would certainly be in a dilemma, but
Now that Li Jun and others have worshiped Song Jiang as their elder brother, if they want to win them over to his side, I'm afraid it will take some trouble. If Xiao Tang wants to divide the many leaders in Liangshan, he can predict it in advance and even influence Chao Gai
The trend of developing power in Green Forest with Song Jiang and others can lead to a high status in Liangshan Bozhong, but his mentor Gongsun Sheng, who has a "fairy relationship" with him, can also unite with Xiao Tang to make plans in Green Forest in the future.
Development is bound to be smoother.
Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling, who had been told earlier, saw Gongsun Sheng coming to ask for a visit to Xiao Tang. They immediately sent a letter to Erlong Mountain. Xiao Jiaji explained the cause of the matter to Lu Zhishen, Sun An, Bian Xiang and others.
Although everyone also knew that Gongsun Sheng was a close disciple of Luo Zhenren, the Taoist leader who had a close friendship with Xiao Tang, but Xiao Tang was now ordered to suppress Hedong and was determined not to neglect the matter of contacting the people in the green forest, so he ordered Hedong Lu Wei
Shan Shiqi, who was born in the Shengjun Army, and Shi Jin, whose native place was also in the northwest of Song Dynasty, disguised themselves as martial arts entertainers and traveled westward with Gongsun Sheng to secretly meet Xiao Tang.
Just to meet Gongsun Sheng in private, he had to avoid Wang Huan, Yao Pingzhong, Hu Yanzhuo and other court generals. Xu Guanzhong got the news from Feige, and after seeing Gongsun Sheng and others, he immediately ordered his cronies to come and report to Xiao Tang in advance.
Report the news and arrange for manpower to facilitate the two people to meet.

The sun sets in the west, casting a golden ray of sunshine. Located in the south of Taiyuan Prefecture, between Beipan Village, Yongli Prison was originally set up by the imperial court to send civilians to fetch salty soil and cook it into salt. Looking at the afterglow of the sunset,
There were about a dozen riders riding across the mountains, but when they looked ahead, they saw a dozen thatched cottages under the slope. There seemed to be a wine shop next to the willow trees by the stream, but the door of the shop was not open.
The wine curtain is here to attract guests, and the surrounding scenery is also quite depressed and dilapidated.
"Brother, I have agreed with Brother Guanzhong that this is where Gongsun Sheng will go for a secret meeting."
When Shi Xiu saw one of the people, he immediately pointed his hand in that direction and said. Xiao Tang found a reason to go to Taiyuan Prefecture to inspect the terrain, and only brought four brothers, Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu, and Pang Wanchun along with Yan Yunqi.
She came here with her confidants.
Xiao Tang nodded, and he and a group of brothers rode down the ridge, but saw three people flashing out from behind a big tree with dead vines in front of them. The two men in front wore trousers with red tassels on their heads.
Bai Fanyang's face was covered by a large felt hat, and his legs were tied with green and white stripes. One of them was carrying a bronze cymbal and a chime-shaped wild goose feather sword, and the other was carrying a heavy iron stick. They were all dressed as martial arts practitioners who traveled around the world.
The two of them heard the sound of horse hoofbeats again, and hurriedly came out to find out. When they saw clearly that it was Xiao Tang who was coming, the two men pushed aside the Fan Yang felt hats that covered their faces, and it turned out to be Shi Jin.
, Shan Shiqi and two others.
"Brother! Brothers! Long time no see. How are you lately?"
Xiao Tang saw Shi Jin and Shan Shiqi both looking happy and greeting him loudly. He also got off his horse and stepped forward to talk to the two brothers. Soon Xiao Tang looked at Shi Jin and Shan Shiqi again.
Qi looked behind him and saw that there were two pine buns on his head, he was wearing a short brown robe with a bashan collar, a multi-colored silk ribbon tied around his waist, a pine-patterned bronze sword on his back, and a rattan fan in his hand.
The person dressed as Taoist Yunyou was none other than Gongsun Sheng, who was coming to have a secret meeting with him.
When Gongsun Sheng met Xiao Tang in front of the Boshui River in Liangshan, he met Xiao Tang at the hotel at the entrance of Lijia Road where he was dedicated to inquire about the matter. Xiao Tang was still wearing a Xie Zhi mask, as the co-owner of Green Forest Mountains who went to negotiate with Chao Gai.
Yu's identity, today is the time to truly witness the true face of Ren Xia Xiao Tang, who is well-known in the world.
After being reminded by his mentor Luo Zhenren before, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but recall Xiao Tang's figure, tone, and gestures at that time. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and came to Xiao Tang and greeted him respectfully.
He made a bow and said: "Although I had a chance to meet Xiao Renxia before, I only met Xiao Renxia today. I am ashamed. I had secretly discussed with King Chao Tianwang and others to steal the birthday card and destroy the evil spirits."
Xiao Renxia made a living in the escort business under the name Xiao Renxia, and then I learned that Xiao Renxia had a great debt to me, Zixu Temple in Erxian Mountain, and had a close friendship with my master... I got into a fight with my benefactor, but I didn't know him.
A good person, but a poor person who teaches hard work is ashamed of himself.
Fortunately, Xie is broad-minded and no longer pursues his grudges with Chao Tianwang, Wu Xuexue, Liu Tang and other brothers. Otherwise, relying on Xie, whether as Xiao Renxia... or as the co-leader of several mountains,
If we refuse to give in to Quan Yu's power, how can our brothers gain a foothold in the world? Xiao Renxia is kind and benevolent, and it is true that he was offended first by a poor man, so I hope that Haihan will be the only one!"
Xiao Tang hurriedly stepped forward to help Gongsun Sheng, and said with a smile: "The escort agency under my name makes a living as an escort. Since it is open for business, it cannot choose an employer. The famous Liang Shijie pays homage to Cai Xianggong's birthday every year, which is indeed the world.
Ill-gotten wealth can be obtained by the middlemen. Now the Taoist priest must also know my difficulties. If Liang Zhongshu had not been kind to me in the past, I would not have been able to steal his birthday card. Otherwise, heroes in the world would want to take it.
What's the problem in getting that property? Master Gongsun, since I have reached an agreement with King Chao Tian, there is no need to worry about the old grudges anymore."
After hearing what Xiao Tang said, Gongsun Sheng admired him even more. However, when Gongsun Sheng's apricot eyes flickered, he glanced behind Xiao Tang, his confidant Shi Xiu, Hua Rong and the two men who were wearing official and military uniforms.
When Shi Jin, Shan Shiqi and others, who was a leader of Longshan strongmen, were chatting and laughing about old times, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Tang again, and said meaningfully: "Xiao Renxia puts humanity and righteousness first, and shows consideration for the heroes in trouble in the rivers and lakes. This
I am very impressed by this poor man...but I have also heard that Xie led his army to Hedong Road on official business, but he also wanted to wipe out the powerful people in the green forest."
"I don't speak secretly in front of people in the Ming Dynasty. I think that when I am an official in the court, I kill the thugs and thieves who harm the people. When I work in the rivers and lakes, I get rid of the corrupt officials who squeeze the people's wealth. There is no contradiction between the two.
.”
Xiao Tang smiled slightly and said: "As for why I go to such great lengths and work on both sides of the officialdom, Master is well aware of it. Master Luo and I can be said to be close friends, so naturally we can trust him."
The Taoist Priest will not reveal what I am plotting, but the Taoist Priest is, after all, a high-ranking figure in Liangshan Bo. You traveled thousands of miles to come here to find me, but I don’t know what you can learn from me."
When Gongsun Sheng heard what Xiao Tang said, "Thieves will kill corrupt officials, officials will kill evil thieves." His face couldn't help but he thought about the meaning of Xiao Tang's words over and over in his heart. After a while, he realized something.
Gongsun Sheng nodded slightly, then saluted Xiao Tang and said: "Xiao Renxia is unconventional and original, but his knowledge and courage are stronger than those of the Green Forest Heroes of the Great Song Dynasty! Chao is right, I was in Liangshan with King Chao Tian
, Song Yasi and other leaders gathered together to lead the righteousness, but now the poor Taoist is cultivating the way to enter the world, and one day he will have to hide in the mountain gate... But the master also told me to practice more good deeds when walking in the mortal world. I will obey the master.
Respecting the decree of the law, Xiao Renxia should also obey the instructions given by the poor Taoist, and never neglect them!"
