Chapter 66 Liangshan Songjiang

The wheat and wheat are fat at the foot of the deer mountain, and the chickens live in the dolphin traps and close the door.

The shadow of mulberry trees slants and spring is dispersed, and every family is helping them to return home intoxicatingly.

The Spring Club dinner started in the afternoon, and it took an hour and a half. After nightfall, it finally dispersed. The open space in front of the temple was full of drunken villagers. Many villagers were drunk and even rolled up their tongues to persuade them to drink.

Two people were poured into Li Yanqing's house. Uncle Zhong got drunk first and was helped back by his wife. However, this was the first time to drink. She didn't know the depth. She especially liked the unique sweetness of rice wine. Under the coaxing of several aunts, she drank seven or eight glasses of wine in a row. In the end, she was so drunk that she didn't know the situation. Li Yanqing had to carry her home.

The Ruan brothers had something to do. When they were halfway through the drink, they stood up and said goodbye, but left something for Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing never thought that after five years, Uncle Hu was actually missed by the heroes of Liangshan again. It was Fang La and now Song Jiang. I really don’t know what earth-shaking things Uncle Hu and his son did back then. It has been almost twenty years, and he is still being missed by others.

Li Yanqing walked towards Li Wen Village along the official road with a magpies on his back. Ju Santa Chou was following him with her daughter in her arms. Her daughter was already asleep in her arms. She was all villagers who returned home, and she felt like she had ended the open-air movies in the village.

In front of them was Aunt Gu San and his son Dazhu, who was holding the tilted uncle Gu San. Aunt Gu San twisted her husband's ears from time to time, and behind them was Yan Jiu's father and wife supporting the drunk son home. The daughter-in-law followed behind with her two grandsons, but kept complaining in her mouth.

"Little official, Magpie's father is here to find her today!" Ju Santa Ju whispered beside her.

"What do you want to find a magpies?"

"He asked Xi Mai to give him the pocket money, but Xi Mai refused, saying that it was the money given to her by the little official, and she had to pay it back to the little official if she couldn't use it. Her father was angry and scolded for a long time before he went back in disappointment."

"oh--"

Jumao smiled again and said, "Magpie likes little officials."

"How did Mrs. Ju know?"

"She told me quietly that she thought she would be beaten and scolded by her master as a little maid, but she didn't expect that the little official loved her more than her brother."

"Yes! It's her blessing to follow a master like Xiaoguanren!"

Aunt Gu San turned around and smiled, "Little official, Magpie is a good girl. Please give me the iron head when she grows up!"

Zhuzi, the eldest son next to him, was anxious and said quickly: "Mom, I don't have a wife yet! Why do you care about your younger brother first?"

Everyone laughed together, Aunt Gu San was both angry and funny, and reached out to poke her son's forehead, "Silly boy, don't you know your mother is joking?"

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "You brothers work harder, it depends on who the magpie likes."

Everyone talked and laughed and walked towards the village together. The early spring night was warm and cold, but the night breeze could still feel a hint of spring warmth. Li Yanqing looked at the stars in the sky, and his heart was particularly quiet and full of joy. He liked such a life, warm and beautiful.















Just when Lushan Town was lively and festive, Zhangji Town, about twenty miles south of it, was particularly deserted. This is because the Spring Club of Zhangji Town is not in the town, but Sanglin Village several miles west. Almost everyone in Zhangji Town ran to Sanglin Village. When night fell, the town was pitch black, and only a few lights were on inns that had been in the long term.

Today, the inn was booked by several guests from Yunzhou, and the signs were rarely hung up. Several guests were generous and paid ten taels of silver for the store, and rewarded the client with one tael of silver as a tip. The shopkeeper and the client were busy serving these men, and even the Spring Club did not care about attending.

There are spring clubs every year, and these wealthy old men are rarely seen once in a few years. Although these guests are a bit strange, one of them is even fierce and evil, the shopkeeper even pretends not to see them.

The person headed by this group of men was Song Jiang, the leader of Liangshanbo. At this time, Song Jiang had gathered more than 20 brothers with high martial arts skills and thousands of rural soldiers in Liangshanbo, but they were low-key and had not officially launched an uprising. The government did not take them seriously and had peace of mind.

Song Jiang was about forty years old, with slightly dark skin and medium figure, and looked not outstanding. He was originally a minor official in Yuncheng County. He was wanted by the government for killing people drunk and was desperate and hid in Liangshanpo. Because he was righteous and kind to others, many people with high martial arts skills gradually gathered around him.

Seeing that the treacherous ministers in the court were in power, the administration was corrupt, and the army was low in combat effectiveness, Song Jiang became determined to rebel. However, at this time, he was not strong enough, and he still had to accumulate strength and recruit talents.

This time, Song Jiang brought several brothers to Tangyin County because they found out the whereabouts of Hu Cheng, the leader of the Baoding Uprising in Weizhou. Song Jiang's sworn brother Chao Gai was also a leader of the Baoding Uprising at that time. He strongly recommended Hu Cheng to Song Jiang.

Of course, Song Jiang also knew that the Baoding Uprising in Weizhou was led by the Hu father and son, and it was very powerful and lasted for ten years.

After the old leader Hu Wen was killed, his son Hu Cheng led thousands of people to persevere for three years, but in the end he failed due to the betrayal of internal traitors. Hu Cheng fled with his mother, and his whereabouts were unknown since then. Unexpectedly, he actually hid in Tangyin County. Song Jiang, who was eager to seek talent, decided to come and invite the legendary figure to come out again.

At this time, Song Jiang was listening to the information inquired by the intelligence leader Dai Zong in the room.

"According to the news I got from Fang La, Hu Cheng should have been hiding near Lushan Town. His subordinates inquire from many sources and found that the person nicknamed Pinming Sanlang in Li Wen Village is very similar to the Hu Cheng we are looking for. His pseudonym is Hu Sheng, which happens to be homophonic with Hu Cheng. His subordinates can basically conclude that Hu Sheng is Hu Cheng we are looking for, but unfortunately he has been missing for many years."

“Missing?”

Song Jiang asked in confusion: "Why did he disappear?"

"It should be related to Fang La. My subordinates heard that Fang La sent someone to find him five years ago, but the sent people did not go back, and Hu Sheng also disappeared, perhaps because he hid somewhere else."

Song Jiang's face showed disappointment. They spent so much energy to find Hu Cheng, but they disappeared five years ago.

"Do you know where he escaped?"

"I don't know yet."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a rude voice heard: "There is actually a smell of alcohol on your body. You two bastards dare to drink with me on your back, and take me a punch first!"

"Sanlang, stop making trouble!" Song Jiang angrily rebuked, and the outside immediately became quiet.

At this time, the door opened, and the Ruan brothers walked in from outside. A man with a black-faced, curly bearded man, wearing a double-horned grass scarf, looked disappointed. The man was named Li Kui. He was originally a yamen runner in Yuncheng. He was very brave and fierce. He followed Song Jiang into Liangshanpo. He was the leader of Song Jiang's tooth soldier. This time, Song Jiang also brought him Tangyin.

Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said, "Brother, we are back."

Song Jiang also smelled the wine on them and asked with a smile: "Where did you attend the Spring Festival?"

"We participated in the Spring Club in Lushan Town, but we have not found Hu Cheng's whereabouts yet."

Dai Zong next to him said, "I have found him. He is hiding in Liwen Village, but he disappeared again five years ago."

The Ruan brothers looked at each other, and Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Today we were drinking in the shed in Liwen Village. We met a young man with a skilled archery skills and invited us to drink."

Song Jiang's heart moved and asked again: "Then have you found out what you found in Liwen Village?"

"I asked them about Baozheng. There was no one with the surname Hu in their village. There was a man named Hu Sheng a bit like the person we were looking for."

Song Jiang stood up and said to the two of them anxiously: "This Hu Sheng is Hu Cheng. Did Baozheng say where he went?"

Ruan Xiaoer was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Baozheng said that Hu Sheng is usually very low-key. His neighbor is the Shaolang with a powerful archery technique. Later we asked him again, he didn't know where Hu Sheng's family was?"

Dai Zong next to him smiled thoughtfully, "Don't you find it strange? Hu Cheng, a martial arts master, and his neighbor is a Shaolang with a powerful archery technique. Is there any connection between the two?"

Dai Zong said that Song Jiang was at the heart of his heart, and he was also suspicious that Shaolang's archery technique had something to do with Hu Cheng. He nodded slowly and said, "Even if that Shaolang's archery technique had nothing to do with Hu Cheng, but since they were neighbors, he must know Hu Cheng's clues, and I will visit him now."

Li Kui, who was at the door, suddenly shouted loudly: "A little brat still uses his brother to visit him? I'll just tie it up with a rope."

The Ruan brothers were furious and glared at him. Song Jiang waved his hand, "Don't do anything randomly, this is not Yunzhou. If the government is alarmed, we will be in trouble."
