Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The water is in Liangshan.

Jiang Hongfei had just finished reading the urgent news from Daming Mansion when he heard someone reporting:

"Report to the leader of the village, Dai Zong and a man named Yan Qing, the prodigal son, are asking to see him. The two of them said they have important matters to see the leader of the village."

Jiang Hongfei already knew what important matters Dai Zong and Yan Qing had.

The night before yesterday, Chao Gai and Song Jiang led a group of leaders and two hundred elite men from Naitoushan to rob the prison.

Who would have thought that this turned out to be a trap set by Liang Zhongshu.

Most of the two hundred minions were shot dead on the spot. Chao Gai, Song Jiang, Liu Tang, Qin Ming, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Shi Yong, Li Kui, Zhang Heng, Mu Chun, Xue Yong, and Li Li were all captured alive. , many of them were even shot and wounded.

Only Gongsun Sheng saw that the situation was not good, so a white cloud rose up, and ran away with him, Mu Hong, and Zhang Shun; Li Ying and Dai Zong also saw that the situation was not good, one turned into a flying eagle and flew away, and the other used the magic weapon to fly away. Xing Zhifa fled in a roundabout way outside the city.

This time, it was good. Not only did the people on Naitou Mountain fail to rescue Lu Junyi, but they also helped the leader of Banshan Mountain get in. That was fine. The key point was that the two village leaders of Naitou Mountain also got in.

In this way, if Jiang Hongfei didn't take action, Naitou Mountain would be over, and Lu Junyi would definitely die, so it was only normal for Dai Zong and Yan Qing to come to see him.

Jiang Hongfei said: "Bring them two here."

Not long after, Dai Zong and Yan Qing were brought up.

Although Yan Qing had never met Jiang Hongfei, as soon as he saw Jiang Hongfei, Yan Qing was sure that the extraordinary Jiang Hongfei must be the number one hero in the world, the greatest saint in the world, the great sage in heaven, and the great sage in the sky. Lord Jiang Yan.

With a "pop", Yan Qing knelt down in front of Jiang Hongfei, then kowtowed and said, "Please save my master's life!"

Yan Qing then spread a piece of gray-white rag torn from the prison uniform in front of his head.

Nine words were written in blood on this rag: "Lu Junyi is willing to go to Liangshan to join the gang!"

Seeing these nine words, Jiang Hongfei said to Yan Qing calmly:

"Xiao Yi, could it be that you wrote this to trick me into rescuing Yuan Wai Lu? As far as I know, Yuan Wai Lu is full of foolish and loyal thoughts to Zhao and Song Dynasty, and he is not willing to go to Liangshan and Luocao."

Yan Qing knew that Lu Junyi had performed too poorly before, especially after Jiang Hongfei gave Lu Junyi a choice and Lu Junyi still chose to return to Damingfu City to surrender.

It can be said that at that moment, Lu Junyi had already embarked on a dead end and at the same time blocked his way to Liangshan with his own hands.

In Yan Qing's view, Jiang Hongfei had already given Lu Junyi a chance. It was Lu Junyi who was confused and kept choosing the wrong path. Then he couldn't blame Jiang Hongfei for not saving Lu Junyi.

It was precisely because he knew all this that Yan Qing did not rashly ask Jiang Hongfei to rescue Lu Junyi. Instead, he found Cai Fu first, begged Cai Fu for a long time, and then raised the banner of Shuibo Liangshan before letting Cai Fu take him. Went to see Lu Junyi.

After meeting Lu Junyi, Yan Qing didn't say anything nonsense. He asked Lu Junyi whether he wanted to die or live, and asked Lu Junyi if he still wanted to take revenge on Li Gu and Jia. If so, he quickly wrote a letter of surrender to Jiang Hongfei. Believe it or not, he will turn around and leave.

Of course, the eloquent Yan Qing definitely didn't say that. He said it much more pleasantly and emotionally, but that was definitely what he meant.

Although Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others from Naitoushan failed to rescue Lu Junyi, and they themselves lost troops and generals, this does not mean that they had no results at all.

In fact, Qin Ming and Li Kui, who were the leaders, killed everyone they saw. Later, when Chao Gai led a group of people from Naitoushan to fight against the trapped beasts, they also killed many people.

Let's put it this way, whether Lu Junyi wants to admit it or not, the people of Naitoushan killed no less than 200 people in order to save him. Not counting the injured, even Suo Chao and Li Chengdu, Liang Zhongshu's favorite generals, were killed. Chao's apprentice Zhou Jin was almost beaten to death by Su Dian without an axe.

It can be said that Liang Zhongshu relied on his thorough preparation this time to ambush three thousand divine arm archers and established the final victory. However, Zhao Song's losses were not small.

For this reason, Lu Junyi is already dead and there is no way he can clear his name.

Therefore, Lu Junyi no longer had to choose between Shuibo Liangshan and the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but between life and death.

Lu Junyi was really unwilling to die in such a cowardly manner. He had to cut into pieces Li Gu and Jia, the adulterers who had harmed him to this point, and then let him die. , otherwise he would really die with his eyes open.

Yan Qing did not force Lu Junyi to make a choice at that time.

——Yan Qing knew very well that this choice could only be made by Lu Junyi himself, otherwise he would have escaped the disaster, and Jiang Hongfei would have to kill Lu Junyi, who did not know how to commend himself.

In the end, it was Lu Junyi who tore off his clothes, bit his index finger, and wrote these nine words, which were like a contract of betrayal.

"Please forgive me, the leader of the village. Xiao Yi knows that last time Brother Shi Xiu rescued my master, the master of the village was extremely kind to my master. Since then, the master of the village has no longer wanted to take care of my master because of his stubbornness. . Since Xiao Yi knows this, how dare he deceive the village master. The village master has a thorough understanding of the world and can see what kind of person my master is at a glance. Naturally, he can also see whether my master is sincere. In the same way, since the village master can If you save my master's life, you can take my master's life. Xiao Yi wants to find a way for my master to survive, not to die. How dare you deceive the village owner with a fake promissory note?" Yan Qing said.

"Although my master is stubborn and does not know how to change, such a person also has a huge advantage. That is, he will not betray easily. My master often says that the whiteness of jade will not be changed if it is broken, and the knots of bamboo will not be destroyed if it is burned. He is definitely not A fickle person. Regardless of whether he was harmed by villains, or whether the darkness of Zhao and Song Dynasties prevented him from being reborn, since he has chosen to surrender to the leader of the village, with his loyalty, his pride, and his stubbornness, he will never Be that repetitive villain. The leader of the village can use him with confidence. He will definitely fight on the battlefield for the leader of the village, open up territories and conquer the world."

Dai Zong couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard Yan Qing criticize Sang and Huai, saying that the people on Naitou Mountain were villains.

Dai Zong asked himself, it was indeed the people from Naitoushan who prevented Lu Junyi from being loyal to him. Yan Qing called them villains, and he was really powerless to argue.

To be honest, Dai Zong didn't want to take Yan Qing with him.

But Dai Zong was afraid that he would not be able to invite Liang Shanjun.

After all, this incident was caused by Naitoushan's desire to compete with Shuibo Liangshan for Lu Junyi. Jiang Hongfei had reason not to save Chao Gai, Song Jiang and the leaders of Naitoushan.

That's why Dai Zong brought along Yan Qing, who had the same purpose as him.

Jiang Hongfei smiled and said, "Everyone says that you, Yan Qing, have a clever mouth and are eloquent. When we meet you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Yan Qing bowed and said, "If the villain's words are unreasonable, how can the village master be deceived by the villain with his true knowledge and insights?"

No, even though Yan Qing had brought the deed of betrayal written by Lu Junyi himself and said so, Jiang Hongfei still shook his head: "Lu Yuanwai has no chance with me anymore."

Yan Qing said anxiously: "Please, the leader of the village..."

Jiang Hongfei stretched out his hand to stop Yan Qing and said, "Listen to me."

Yan Qing quickly shut her mouth.

Jiang Hongfei added: "Lu Yuanwai has no chance with me, but you, Yan Qing, do."

Jiang Hongfei picked up the nine characters written by Lu Junyi, read them, and said: "For the sake of these nine characters written by Yuan Yanqing, if Yan Yanqing promises me one more thing, I will save Yuan Wai Lu. "

Yan Qing took a deep breath, and then said: "Zhai Master, please speak."

"From now on, I will be above Lu Junyi when it comes to you." Jiang Hongfei put forward his conditions simply.

For many people, this is not a condition at all, and they can agree casually.

But for those who keep their promises, this is not an ordinary condition.

Let's put it this way, how can a man serve two masters?

If it weren't for saving Lu Junyi, Yan Qing would not even consider such a thing.

But Jiang Hongfei now made it a condition to save Lu Junyi.

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then knelt down to Jiang Hongfei three times and kowtowed nine times, saying, "Xiao Yi pays homage to the master."

Jiang Hongfei did not stop Yan Qing from taking the initiative to change the family.

After Yan Qing finished worshiping him, Jiang Hongfei asked Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, do you know why I made this condition?"

"First, the master knows that Yan Qing is a loyal person and keeps his promises. Since Yan Qing recognizes the master again, he will be loyal to the master until death and will never betray him; second, the master cannot trust Lu Junyi, who has been loyal to Zhao Song before, so he wants to use Yan Qing Qing Lai tied a yoke on Lu Junyi; the masters of the three had to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and teach Lu Junyi, who did not know how to praise before, a lesson. If Lu Junyi is not taught to pay a price, Lu Junyi can be rescued again and again. How can it be decent if everyone imitates it? " Yan Qing explain.

Jiang Hongfei nodded: "Xiao Yi is indeed smart."

After thinking about it, Jiang Hongfei explained a few more words: "Xiao Yi, don't blame me. I have no friendship with Yuan Lu. I saved him before just because I saw his good skills and hoped to take him in for my use. However, not only did he not... He is willing to be used by me, but he also wants to surrender to Zhao Song and become my enemy. If such a person is encountered by me, it will be his luck if I don't kill him. He still wants to teach me to save him? Now, he is about to die, but I’m so anxious to hold him back, if it were you, would you believe his sincerity?”

yes.

Jiang Hongfei took 100,000 coins and gave it to Lu Junyi.

But the premise is that Jiang Hongfei has already made up his mind to conquer Daming Mansion.

By then, none of those corrupt officials will be able to escape. Jiang Hongfei will have to spit out all the money they ate from Jiang Hongfei with profits.

So, let alone one hundred thousand Min as a favor, what if one million Min is used as a favor?

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Jiang Hongfei did nothing. The only thing Jiang Hongfei did was to prevent Lu Junyi from hating himself and Shuibo Liangshan. It was best to owe him and Shuibo Liangshan a little favor. This was enough for Lu Junyi when he was desperate. It’s time to make the choice to go to Liangshan.

It didn't take much effort to get the combat power ceiling of the Water Margin world. Why wouldn't Jiang Hongfei do it?

"Xiao Yi doesn't believe it either." Yan Qing said.

Seeing that Yan Qing was reasonable, Jiang Hongfei nodded in praise, and then said:

"You, Yan Xiaoyi, are willing to do anything to repay your kindness. When Mr. Lu goes out, he trusts you as much as he trusts Li Gu. When Mr. Lu returns home, he doubts you but not Li Gu. Li Gu sold his wife to his mother, and you killed yourself to repay him. , Those who are loyal to their true nature are servants of true righteousness."

"On the other hand, Yuan Lu is ignorant of people's wisdom, so naturally he doesn't know how to choose a leader, so he ended up like this. How useful such a person can be remains to be seen."

"To tell you the truth, although Yuan Lu is a top-notch Qi practitioner, in my case, he is not as good as you, Yan Xiaoyi. In the future, if he joins me in Shuibo Liangshan, it will take a long time to prove his loyalty and value. But you don’t need it, you are already of great use.”

Yan Qing really didn't expect that Jiang Hongfei valued him more than a small person, rather than Lu Junyi, a super powerful Qi practitioner!

Jiang Hongfei put away Lu Junyi's contract and said, "This incident is enough to prove that only a person like Wu Yong can easily control Yuan Lu. If he doesn't make progress, there is nothing to fear." .”

Yan Qing could see that after this incident, Jiang Hongfei began to look down on Lu Junyi, who had repeatedly made mistakes and finally brought himself to a dead end.

Yan Qing then thought again: "Perhaps the leader of the village... is just a way to provoke the generals?"

Jiang Hongfei turned to look at Dai Zong: "How come Chao Tianwang and Song Jiang were caught? Shouldn't they stand behind and command? With the protection of Gongsun Shengxian, who is good at flying in the clouds and fog, they won't be unable to escape, right?"

Dai Zong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing this!

He really couldn't say anything. Seeing that Qin Ming, Li Kui and others were killing smoothly, Song Jiang also picked up a sword and charged into the battle. He wanted to rescue Lu Junyi personally and sell Lu Junyi's favor.

Seeing this, Chao Gai, not to be outdone, also raised a knife to save Lu Junyi.

At that time, Song Jiang and Chao Gai were like competing, for fear of being slower than the other party.

As a result, Song Jiang and Chao Gai, together with Qin Ming, Li Kui and others, broke into the prison where heavy troops had been ambushed.

When they discovered that they had been ambushed, Song Jiang and Chao Gai were in too deep and there was no way they could save them.

Later, Chao Gai was better. With his good skills, he managed to escape from the prison, only to be surrounded by the three thousand god-armed archers. Song Jiang was more funny, and was captured by Cai Qing after only one encounter.

This was so embarrassing that Dai Zong was embarrassed to say it.

Dai Zong could only change the subject and said: "Brother Gongsun Sheng said that if the leader of the village is willing to send troops to attack Daming Mansion, I will obey the command of the leader from top to bottom. After the war, I will not get a penny or food. I only want to rescue King Chao Tian, ​​brother Gongming and others." Leaders."

Last time, Chao Gai and Song Jiang promised to raise 500,000 shi of food for Jiang Hongfei, and they actually collected it within three months.

——Among them, 370,000 shi were raised by Song Jiang, and only 130,000 shi of grain were raised by Chao Gai.

This batch of food helped Jiang Hongfei a lot.

It can be seen from this that the group of people in Naitoushan are not useless at all.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei, who was originally planning to attack Damingfu City, did not hesitate, but directly ordered: "Prepare for war! Send troops to Damingfu..."

…

Liang Zhongshu really didn't expect that just a little-known Naitoushan would cause hundreds of casualties to his Daming Mansion, make two of his generals lose their honors, and Zhou Jin still hasn't woken up.

And this was after he had laid a dragnet in advance.

Liang Zhongshu thought with lingering fear: "Are the bandits already so strong?"

Liang Zhongshu summoned the new governor of the state, Wang Taishou, and asked him to count the number of casualties in the city, pay the official money, treat the injured, and bury the dead with compensation and proper burial.

Liang Zhongshu was afraid of long nights and many dreams. After spending two days to interrogate who was in prison and what was going on, he ordered Lu Junyi, Chao Gai, Song Jiang and everyone from Naitoushan to be arrested the next day. Behead them all.

Coincidentally, Jiang Hongfei's order also reached Daming Mansion at this time.

Zhu Wu followed Jiang Hongfei's order and had dozens of headless posts posted in the city, which read:

The water is flowing in the Liangshan River, showing the name of the famous government and announcing to the world: Today in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, officials are in power, corrupt officials are monopolizing power, beating good people to death, and ruining all surnames. Lu Junyi from Beijing is a heroic man. Now I invite you to go up the mountain and walk the path of heaven together. Naitoushan is a branch of our Shuibo Liangshan village. We were specially sent to fetch Lu Junyi, but they were all captured unexpectedly. In this way, everyone's lives can be saved, and if you sacrifice your adulterous wife and adulterer, I will not interfere with you; if you accidentally hurt your wings, bend your thighs and legs, break up the stronghold and raise the army, we will avenge you with one heart and one mind. Soldiers are everywhere, jade and stone are all burned. Heaven and earth support each other, and ghosts and gods bless us. Suppress treachery and destroy foolishness and stubbornness. Talking and laughing into the city, there is no mercy. A righteous husband and a chaste wife, a filial son and a submissive grandson, a good citizen and a pure and prudent official, do not panic and keep each other in peace. Tell everyone to know.

Liang Zhongshu read Jiang Hongfei's notice and was so frightened that he quickly called Prefect Wang to discuss countermeasures.

Governor Wang was a cowardly man. After reading Jiang Hongfei's notice, he said to Liang Zhongshu:

"The imperial court dare not arrest this group of thieves in Shuibo Liangshan, let alone a small and isolated city here. If these desperate men come with troops and the imperial court fails to rescue them, it will be too late to regret! As for the foolishness of small officials, and To save their lives, they wrote a petition to report to the imperial court, and then submitted a letter to Grand Master Cai, who knew that the three of them could teach their troops and horses to leave the city and go to the stronghold, so that there would be no danger. This would ensure that nothing happens in Beijing, and that the soldiers and civilians would not be harmed. If the general These people were killed for a while, but they still feared that the invaders would come to the city. Firstly, there were no soldiers to rescue them. Secondly, the court would be surprised. Thirdly, the people would be panicked and the city would be disrupted, which would be very inconvenient."

After hearing this, Liang Zhongshu said: "What the prefect said is absolutely appropriate." Then he obeyed everything and ordered preparations for war...

…
