Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

"I have good homemade pancakes, a craft passed down from my ancestors. You guys, please try it!"

Although Wu Dalang was less than five feet tall, had a ferocious face, and had a ridiculous mind, because Wu Dalang was Wu Song's elder brother, and Wu Song was Jiang Hongfei's favored sworn brother, all the Liangshan heroes were still very polite to Wu Dalang and called him affectionately. "Big brother".

There were so many majestic people around him, but not only did no one call him "Three-inch Dinggu Tree Bark", they all called him "Big Brother". Wu Dalang was rarely as proud as he was at this moment.

This made Wu Dalang feel a little elated. He was not in a hurry to go back and have a drink with Jiang Hongfei and others. Instead, while giving out his proudest cooking cakes to the Liangshan heroes, he vividly told the Liangshan heroes how Wu Song defeated the demon tiger.

Wu Dalang, who is not usually good at words, talks about Wu Song's fight against the demon tiger with witty remarks, which is more vivid than the storyteller.

Seeing that Wu Dalang was very familiar with the details of Wu Song's fight against the monster tiger, those who knew it was Wu Song defeated the monster tiger, but those who didn't know thought it was Wu Dalang who defeated the monster tiger.

It is not difficult to see from this that Wu Dalang must have told this story to others often.

actually--

Wu Dalang and the others arrived late. Ruan Xiaoqi had already led the soldiers of the Guards to have dinner.

Furthermore, this cooking cake may be a good thing to others, but to the soldiers of the Guards who often eat and drink with Jiang Hongfei and usually have excellent food, it is very ordinary.

The key point is that when passing by Jingyanggang today, Chen Liqing shot and killed more than a dozen large and small prey. The soldiers of the Guards had just had a hearty meal of roasted game.

Therefore, although all the soldiers of the Guards accepted Wu Dalang's cooking cakes out of courtesy, they all held them in their hands and no one could eat them.

Seeing this, Wu Dalang urged: "Heroes, eat quickly, the cakes I cook are very delicious!"

Because of Jiang Hongfei's relationship, some people didn't want to disgrace Wu Song's biological brother Wu Dalang, so they prepared to pretend to eat a few bites.

But because Jiang Hongfei liked Wu Song, others even became sworn friends with Wu Song. They didn't want to offend Wu Dalang. Ruan Xiaoqi, who was closer to Jiang Hongfei, didn't care about this short, slutty guy.

Ruan Xiaoqi said coldly: "Which of you can still eat? Take it indiscriminately! If you take whatever is given to you, sooner or later, someone will have their heads cut off because of the sweat and numbness!"

In fact, Ruan Xiaoqi was not targeting Wu Dalang - he was targeting Wu Song.

In Ruan Xiaoqi's view, Jiang Hongfei was so kind to Wu Song, giving him horses, knives, and even taking Wu Song with him.

But in the end, because Wu Song couldn't let go of his innocence and his brother, he went to Liangshan without looking back.

Ruan Xiaoqi, who has a straightforward personality and values ​​loyalty as high as the sky, despises people like Wu Song from the bottom of his heart. He feels that Wu Song is not a good man and is unwilling to associate with Wu Song.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hongfei asked Ruan Xiaoqi to go to Yanggu County to meet Wu Song. Ruan Xiaoqi, who usually obeyed Jiang Hongfei and never lied to Jiang Hongfei, rarely lied and said: "I don't feel well, so I won't follow him this time." My brother has gone."

To be honest, Wu Song's choice made Jiang Hongfei feel very uncomfortable.

But Jiang Hongfei wants to get the rewards he deserves for all his efforts, no, he wants to get high rewards.

Giving without expecting anything in return?

That is definitely not Jiang Hongfei's character.

Jiang Hongfei's benefits are not so easy to obtain.

Putting it in Wu Song's case, Jiang Hongfei had already invested a lot in the early stage. If he let it go now, wouldn't the early investment be in vain?

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei occasionally wrote letters or dropped in to see Wu Song, which attracted Wu Song.

In this way, if one day Wu Song can't survive with Zhao Song and wants to fall into a trap, wouldn't this be his first choice?

You can't just work on it for so long in the early stage and then ask Wu Song to run away with Song Jiang or someone else, right?

Anyway, from Jiang Hongfei's point of view, after this, he doesn't have to pay much cost to make Wu Song always owe him and think of his own good.

Why don't you enjoy it yourself?

And once one day, Wu Song can no longer live his current life and the grass falls in the Liangshan Mountains, he will have to pay back all his capital and profits to Jiang Hongfei.

There is no free lunch in this world!

Jiang Hongfei, who knew why Ruan Xiaoqi didn't go, thought to himself: "I feel uncomfortable, and I feel uncomfortable. If I don't want to go, I won't go." So he didn't take Ruan Xiaoqi with him this time.

At this moment, Ruan Xiaoqi was angry when she saw Wu Dalang mindlessly boasting that Wu Song was a hero. He also saw that everyone was very attentive to Wu Dalang because Jiang Hongfei liked Wu Song. Then he thought about Wu Song's selfishness, ungratefulness, and character. The irritable Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but hate Wu Jiwu.

Jiang Hongfei likes Wu Song, but it depends on who he compares with. If compared with Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song will definitely have to sit in the back row.

You know, since Ruan Xiaoqi went to Liangshan, wherever Jiang Hongfei went, he would take Ruan Xiaoqi with him, who was not really suitable to be the leader of the personal army. Jiang Hongfei's personal bodyguards were also handed over to Ruan Xiaoqi, who was very capable on land. In fact, he is a very ordinary leader.

From this, it is not difficult to see who Jiang Hongfei likes the most.

The key point is that no matter how much Jiang Hongfei loved Wu Song, Wu Song did not go to Liangshan, let alone care about them, the soldiers of the Guards. Ruan Xiaoqi was not only on Liangshan, but he was also the direct leader of these soldiers of the Guards.

Therefore, seeing Ruan Xiaoqi getting angry, all the soldiers of the Guards hurriedly returned the cooking cakes to Wu Dalang, and at the same time they did not dare to be intimate with Wu Dalang anymore.

Wu Dalang didn't understand. These personal guards were fine just now, but why did the attitude of the others change completely as soon as this man dressed as a general opened his mouth?

He Cheng advised Ruan Xiaoqi: "This cooking cake was bought by the village owner for the brothers to eat. If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, what are you doing like him? If the elder brother really feels uncomfortable seeing him, the younger brother will send him away." That’s it.”

Hearing He Cheng mention Jiang Hongfei, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly lost his temper, and then said irritably: "Don't teach me to see him, I will be angry when I see him!"

After saying that, Ruan Xiaoqi went into the tent to rest.

After Ruan Xiaoqi left, He Cheng came to Wu Dalang and said lukewarmly: "Brothers have eaten, you can send this load of cooking cakes to the two tents for the prisoners to eat."

Only then did Wu Dalang notice that there were leftover barbecued meats and mountains of animal bones on the table.

Wu Dalang thought to himself: "Thieves who deserve to be hungry, you will not eat even the good cooking cakes. Sooner or later you will starve to death!"

Although he was full of curses in his heart, Wu Dalang did not dare to say anything. Instead, he honestly shouldered the burden of cooking cakes and went to deliver cooking cakes to a group of prisoners.

The two guards who came back with Wu Dalang saw that Ruan Xiaoqi didn't like Wu Dalang and didn't dare to get too close to Wu Dalang. They took a basket of cooking cakes to the tent of Guan Nan's prisoner and asked Wu Dalang to carry another basket. Cook the cakes and go to the tent where the female captives are kept.

——The two guards considered that if there were Qi practitioners among the male captives, they would be in trouble if they injured Wu Dalang or captured Wu Dalang as a hostage. However, there was no such hidden danger for the female captives.

Wu Dalang entered the tent carrying a basket of cooking cakes and was stunned immediately!

Why?

I saw that the tent was filled with dozens of women. They were tall, short, fat and thin, and many of them were very good-looking.

At this moment, these women were all sitting on a very large animal skin rug with their hands and feet tied up. They were all pitiful. Even the most vicious one among them was no longer as arrogant as before.

Wu Dalang didn't know what was going on, and thought to himself: "I only thought that the Great Sage Tian was a good man who saved people in distress, but I didn't expect him to be a silver thief who kidnapped so many girls and lived happily."

The Guards officer guarding the prisoners said to Wu Dalang: "Let's leave after dividing the cooking cakes. There is nothing to see."

Wu Dalang heard this and quickly divided the cake among the female prisoners.

When Wu Dalang shared the cake with the last female prisoner, the female prisoner suddenly grabbed Wu Dalang's hands and whispered: "Please save the slave family! The slave family does not want to be ruined by these evil thieves!"

When Wu Dalang looked at the female prisoner, he saw:

Without the application of makeup, the natural figure is enchanting; if you are lazy to dye it, you will be born with a beautiful appearance. Yun Huan is half full, with the appearance of a fish sinking and a bird falling! The starry eyes are filled with sorrow, and they have the appearance of a flower shying away from the moon. Just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace, just like the Weaver Girl descending into the Yaochi.

Wu Dalang's brain suddenly shut down. Except for Pan Jinlian, he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life!

——In Wu Dalang's view, even among the beautifully dressed ladies in the brothel, none of them could compare with this beautiful lady in front of him!

What made Wu Dalang's blood surge even more was that this beautiful lady was still holding his hand tightly and begging softly.

Feeling the soft and boneless hands of this beautiful lady, Wu Dalang, who had never touched a woman before, felt his heart almost melt.

At this moment, Wu Dalang, who had been cowardly for half his life, was so heroic that he actually thought of being a hero to save the beauty.

"Madam, whose family are you? Why are you here?" Wu Dalang asked in a low voice.

The beautiful lady moved forward shyly, said three blessings deeply, and replied: "The slave family is the wife of the Zhizhai Village of Qingfeng Village. This group of thieves broke into our Qingfeng Village, killed my husband, and even wanted to capture the slave family and destroy it on Liangshan Mountain. The slave family is a daughter of an innocent and good family, and this group of evil thieves has a feud with the slave family for killing her husband. They are sworn in. The slave family is willing to marry the eldest brother, and she is also marrying into an innocent family. It is absolutely difficult for the slave family to serve as a thief. If the slave family is determined to be a thief, the slave family is willing to do so. Go to hell. Tell me to save my life!"

Wu Dalang saw that Liu Gao's wife was not only beautiful, but also so loyal. He liked her even more and was determined to save Liu Gao's wife.

However, Wu Dalang is not Wu Erlang who killed the demon tiger with his bare hands. If he rushed in front of the guards guarding Liu Gao's wife, it is estimated that any one of them could just lift his kick and kick him like a ball. Fly.

At this time, the personal guard guarding the female prisoner seemed to have noticed Liu Gao's wife's little behavior and urged her: "Come back when the cooking cakes are distributed. There is nothing interesting about a group of sinful women."

After Wu Dalang heard this, he turned back three times and walked out.

And Liu Gao's wife also just kept looking at Wu Dalang with such affection that I felt pity for him.

On the way back, the two guards changed their alienation in the camp and took the initiative to explain to Wu Dalang: "Brother, don't blame my seventh brother, he is angry. My village leader not only gave Wudu a good horse, but also Wudu." With his sword on his head, he grabbed Wu Dutou without any effort, but Wu Dutou refused to go to Liangshan to gather justice."

Wu Dalang thought to himself: "My brother is innocent, and now he is the head of the county. He is receiving official food. He is so powerful in the county. How can he join the leader of your village and become a thief who kills people, sets fires, and robs homes?"

But Wu Dalang quickly defended Wu Song: "My parents left early, and it was I who brought up Erlang by selling cooking cakes. Erlang was the closest to me. When Erlang was still young, people on the street came to bully him, and no one made the decision. I don’t know how much hardship I have endured and how many sins I have endured, and Erlang sees it all. When Erlang grows up, and Erlang is around me, who dares to fart? The reason why Erlang didn’t go to Liangshan to gather with all the heroes , I just know that I can’t live without him, it’s not unloyalty.”

Wu Dalang raised Wu Song when he was young, and Wu Song raised Wu Dalang when he was old. This is human nature, so the two guards no longer insinuated that Wu Song was selfish and ungrateful for not going to Liangshan to reunite with the heroes of Liangshan.

The three of them walked for a while, and Wu Dalang, who had been thinking about Liu Gao's wife, took the initiative to ask: "What crime did those ladies in the camp commit?"

"She and others are the female relatives of those rich and wealthy families who are unkind. In our Shuibo Liangshan Mountains, they are considered sinful wives." A guard replied.

"They haven't done anything bad, so why are they guilty?" Wu Dalang asked.

"They didn't do any evil directly, but where did their fine clothes and food come from? Did their family members take it from them?" the guard replied.

"They were born rich. They didn't grow a grain of grain or spin an inch of cloth, but they had everything. Isn't it because they were born into wealthy families or married into wealthy families? One of the reasons why their families took advantage of them was that It is to provide them with the necessities of a luxurious life. Brother, tell me, are they guilty?" Another guard said.

"this……"

Wu Dalang, who also lived at the bottom and had to earn whatever he wanted with his own hands, was persuaded by two personal guards. He felt that if it was based on the logic of Shuibo Liangshan, these women of wealthy families who were unkind and unkind, even though they had committed crimes, Not fatal, but certainly sinful.

"Brother, if you think about it again, since these women have shared wealth with those wealthy and unkind families, they should naturally share the hardships. Otherwise, it would be extremely unfair even to their families, right?"

The more Wu Dalang listened, the more it made sense.

But this is obviously contrary to what Wu Dalang thought, that the Liangshan heroes are a group of thieves who steal money and do all kinds of evil, and that Liu Gao's wife is an innocent and loyal daughter, which is somewhat contrary to what Wu Dalang thought.

The three of them walked for a while before Wu Dalang realized that he was not here to distinguish who was right from wrong, nor was he a saint. He was just greedy for the body of Liu Gao's wife, and he made such a simple matter so complicated. Complicated for what?

Therefore, Wu Dalang bypassed the moral fetters and asked directly: "May I ask, how will the Great Sage deal with these ladies?"

The two guards did not hide anything from Wu Dalang.

——The political teachers in Shuibo Liangshan also taught Liangshan heroes that when someone asks about this matter, they can answer truthfully. This is also a positive propaganda to attract people to join the gang.

"I don't have prostitute camps in Shuibo Liangshan. The village owner thinks it's too chaotic and unbecoming, and it can't promote the soldiers' desire to perform meritorious service. Therefore, the criminal women in Shuibo Liangshan will not be like the criminal women in Zhao and Song Dynasties." Instead, they will reward meritorious soldiers, or ask brothers in the village to buy them at low prices to become wives or concubines."

After hearing this, Wu Dalang's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "If this is the case, then can I not buy this beautiful lady back to be my wife?"

Wu Dalang then thought again: "Why should I spend money to buy this beautiful lady in Wuhan University? Tian Dasheng can even give a good horse, a precious sword, and a thousand spirit coins to Erlang without blinking an eye, as long as Erlang is willing to follow Tian Dasheng If you open your mouth, the Great Sage of Heaven will most likely pay some of the dowry and marry this beautiful lady to me for free without asking for any money from me!"

Thinking of this, Wu Dalang immediately felt the wind at his feet and walked quickly towards his home.

Wu Dalang's speed made Jiang Hongfei's two personal guards marvel: "How can he walk so fast with his short legs? Could it be that he also has the magical power to control the wind?"

When Wu Dalang returned home, the food and wine had already been prepared, and they were just waiting for him to come back for the banquet.

This time, Wu Songcai introduced Jiang Hongfei and others to Wu Dalang.

Everyone talked about etiquette, sat down separately for guest and host, and did not mention the bragging and drinking.

He only said that Wu Dalang, who had something on his mind, felt like chewing wax when eating the delicacies of the Lion House; and he felt tasteless when drinking the fine wine of the Lion House. Throughout the whole process, Wu Dalang was absent-minded, even on pins and needles.

It can be said that Wu Dalang finally managed to survive until the banquet was over.

Jiang Hongfei decided to go back to the camp to rest on the grounds that it was not safe for them to live in the city and Wu Song's home did not have such a big place.

Wu Song wanted to go to the camp with Jiang Hongfei to talk by candlelight at night.

Unexpectedly, Wu Dalang grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

Wu Song, who knew his brother Mo Ruodi, had actually discovered something was wrong with Wu Dalang a long time ago.

——Jiang Hongfei and others also saw that Wu Dalang had a problem.

Therefore, Wu Song and Wu Dalang sent Jiang Hongfei and his party out of the city, and Jiang Hongfei asked the two brothers to go back and rest, giving Wu Song space to solve Wu Dalang's problems.

Wu Song, who was eager to know what happened to Wu Dalang, was not polite to Jiang Hongfei. He only said that he would see Jiang Hongfei off tomorrow morning and asked Jiang Hongfei to go first.

Jiang Hongfei did not give in anymore and led his men to the camp outside the city...

Watching Jiang Hongfei and his entourage disappear into the night, Wu Song turned his head and looked at Wu Dalang, wanting to ask what happened to Wu Dalang?

Unexpectedly, Wu Dalang spoke first and said: "Erlang, brother, I have something to ask of you, you must agree..."
