Chapter 114 Chapter 113 Zhong Taibao Yishu Recruits Talented Men Jiang Zechang Visits Guests and Friends in the Rain

Let's say that Beixia and Zhihua have finished their discussions before they rest.On the next day, when Zhong Xiong had finished taking care of the general's affairs, he invited Beixia and Zhiye to meet in the study.I feel more intimate today than yesterday.During the gossip, it was mentioned who is the hero in today's world, and who is the hero.Bei Xia said: "Brother, you know someone. It's a pity that he is bound by his official career and can no longer come here."Zhong Xiong said: "What kind of person is it?"What is the last name?Bei Xiadao: It is Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion, whose name is Xiong Fei. also.After hearing this, Zhong Xiong laughed loudly and said, "This man is now in the little brother's village."How does brother say he can't come here?Bei Xia deliberately surprised: How did Nan Xia get here?The bad brother doesn't believe it anymore.Zhong Xiong said: It's a long story.The king of Xiangyang sent a jar, saying that it was the bones of Bai Yutang, the Chinchilla in Tokyo, and handed it to his younger brother.The younger brother thought he was a hero and buried him on Wufengling.The little brother also paid homage in person.Fearing that someone would steal the altar, a plum blossom pit was dug in front of the tomb and sent to guard it in case of accidents.Unexpectedly, within a few days, two people were taken away, one was Xu Qing and the other was Zhan Zhao.That Xu Qing has already escaped.Zhan Zhao, the younger brother also knows very well, originally wanted to ask him to be a helper, but he insisted on refusing.So he was imprisoned under Biyun Cliff.Bei Xia secretly rejoiced, and said: "This person gets along well with the bad brother. I will be a lobbyist tomorrow and see how it goes."Zhihua then said: "Elder brother can speak of Nanxia, ​​and younger brother has another person, and he can also be called to surrender."Zhong Xiong said: "Who is the person my virtuous brother is talking about?"Zhihua said: Speaking of this person, he is also a famous hero.He lives in Crouching Tiger Valley, his surname is Sha and his name is Long.

Zhong Xiong said: Isn't it Lan Xiao's Sha Yuanwai?Zhihua said: Exactly.Brother how do you know?Zhong Xiong said: "My brother, I have been thinking about this person for a long time, and I have sent someone to invite him, but who knows that he refuses to come."Later, when he heard that there was something wrong with Heilang Mountain, the bad brother wrote a letter to the King of Xiangyang, asking him to subdue this person and to guard Heilang Mountain, but it is suitable for people and places.I haven't heard back so far, so I don't know what happened.Zhihua said: since the elder brother knows this person, the younger brother will go to the crouching tiger ditch tomorrow.Probably the younger brother has gone, and he has no reason not to come.

Zhong Xiong listened with great joy.The three of them drank and ate in the study, so there was no need to list them in detail. On the next day, Zhihua first went to Crouching Tiger Ditch.Zhong Xiong immediately sent an order to open the gate of the village, and sent out the bamboo fence with a boat.After crossing the Wukong Bridge, he didn't go to Crouching Tiger Valley, but to Chen Qiwang.After entering the village, Zhuang Ding notified immediately.Everyone was in the hall and asked how the surrender was going.Master Zhi explained the whole story, and praised Zhong Xiong as a hero, but unfortunately he went on the wrong path, and he had to find a way to bring this friend out of the sea of ​​suffering.He will make a plan with Brother Ouyang to rescue Brother Zhan and Brother Sha.Jiang Pingdao: "What a coincidence, Shi Yun arrived last night."He said that because he was looking for Brother Ouyang, he went to Mohua Village and said he got up with Ding Erye.He rushed to Xiangyang again, met Zhang Li, and knew that Brother Ouyang, Brother Ding and Brother Zhi were all in the courtyard.He hurried to the Yamen of the court again.Brother Lu told him that we all went to Chenqi to watch.He is here again.So just arrived last night.After hearing this, Zhihua called Shi Yun over and asked him what happened to the yamen of the court.Shi Yundao: I also asked.Uncle Lu said hello to all the men, saying that the yamen is very safe.Master Yan is also fine.Mr. Xu also went back.Everything is in order, please rest assured, gentlemen.

Zhihua said: "You came just in time. After two days of rest, you hurried back to Wohugou, told Meng and Jiao, and asked him to assign proper people to manage the housework. All fishermen, hunters, etc., who are capable, go to the Xiangyang prefect's yamen." .Ding Erye said: "How does Master Jin make so many people?"Zhihua laughed and said: You brother has already expected it.Some houses have been repaired in Hangao.Lu Bin said: "Hangao is Fangshan, which is just north of the mansion." Zhihua said: "It's here that Zhang Li knows everything."When I got there and met Zhang Li, I had a place to live.After all, everyone sits down and drinks.

Jiang Ping asked: When is Zhong Xiong's birthday?Zhihua said: "The former has already said it when he swore. It's still early, and there is still half a month to go."I want to subdue him, on that birthday.When you are in a hurry, you need to try to invite him here. You and my brothers enlighten him with righteousness, first to convince him, and second, to explain the imperial decree and instructions. There is no reason for him not to be kind.Ding Erye said: In this way, there is no need to find other ways. As long as the fourth brother goes to Liuyuan Waizhuang and wins against Liu Qing, please bring the broken soul incense.Wouldn't it be great if the coming date is like this?Zhihua nodded and said: This is very kind.I don't know when the fourth brother will go?Jiang Pingdao: "It was originally scheduled to be ten days later, but today is just three days away. Wait for another four or five days. It won't be too late for my younger brother to go."Zhihua said: Very good.I will go back tomorrow and rescue Brother Sha first.Then secretly spy on his affairs and grasp his balance, then it will be easy to say.On this day, everyone gathers to drink and cheer, and they will leave at three drums.On the second day, Zhihua bid farewell to everyone, drove a small boat, and went back to Shuizhai to meet Zhong Xiong.

Zhong Xiong asked: Brother Xian came back so soon?Zhihua said: "It just so happened that my younger brother was heading towards Crouching Tiger Ditch, and happened to meet someone from Crouching Tiger Ditch on the way.When asked about Sha Yuan, it turned out that he had been imprisoned in the palace by the King of Xiangyang.So he hurried back to discuss with his brother.Zhong Xiong said: "So what can I do?"Zhihua said: "As far as my little brother thinks, since King Xiangyang imprisoned Shalong, he must be unwilling to obey.Brother Mo Ruo wrote a letter, saying that we have recruited virtuous men, some of whom are very close to Sha Long, and if we want to take him to Shuizhai and ask these people to persuade him to surrender, he will definitely follow.I don't know what my brother wants?Zhong Xiong said: This is very kind.Just ask my virtuous brother to write a letter.Zhihua immediately wrote a sincere letter and sent someone there.Zhihua asked again: What about Nanxia brother Ouyang said?Zhong Xiong said: "It's interesting to talk about it yesterday."Went again today.

While talking, Yu Hou reported: Master Ouyang is back.Zhong Xiong and Zhi Hua rushed out to greet him and asked, "Why doesn't Nan Xia come?"Bei Xia said: "Brother You said so many times, Nan Xia finally agreed, so you must ask him to invite you in person."Firstly, I saw my brother is sincere, and secondly, he felt radiant on his face.Zhihua helped out and said: Since my brother wants to recruit virtuous men, he should be a corporal.This trip is indispensable.Zhong Xiong agreed generously, so everyone rode to Biyunya.This was originally Bei Xia's casual situation, and the two of them met again, and after they humbled each other, they turned around and thought together.The four of them gathered to drink and talk, and were as happy as ever.

Besides, the person who was ordered to deliver the letter arrived at King Xiangyang and delivered the letter to the mansion.Unexpectedly, after reading this book, King Xiangyang secretly agreed with his own wishes, and wished that Sharon would surrender to him immediately so that he could be a helper.Hastily sent someone to escort Shalong to Junshan.The sender rushed back first and reported a reply.Zhihua then said to Zhong Xiong: "Since Yuanwai Sha is here, wait for my younger brother to meet him first."Brother Zhan has a blunt tongue, first tell him how powerful he is, then persuade him with friendship, and then tell his elder brother Li Xian Corporal.With such earnest encouragement, there is no doubt that he can guarantee his sincerity.

Zhong Xiong heard about Dayue, and immediately sent people to prepare boats and opened the bamboo village.He only knew that Zhihua greeted Shalong and delivered the letter, but they explained the trap in detail, entered the water village together, and placed Shalong on the reception hall, but Zhihua came to see Zhong Xiong first, and said: "Little brother met Sha Yuanwai, Speaking again and again, Sha Yuan said that although he was not a hairpin in Crouching Tiger Valley, he was an innocent lintel. He was caught and captured because he was deceived by corrupt officials by mistake. How could he be willing to surrender to Zhong Taibao if he surrendered to the King of Xiangyang?Zhong Xiong said: In this way, it is absolutely difficult to subdue this Sha Yuanwai.Zhihua said: Thanks to my younger brother's persuasion in every possible way, and talking about my elder brother's great virtue, he said: "To be a human being, you must be grateful and repay your kindness. Since the master of the village rescued me from prison, how dare you forget your great virtue."I want to explain, if I go there, I would rather consider myself a guest, and I will not hear about any military affairs, and I will only be good friends.If there is an urgent need to use me, I must do the work of a dog and a horse to repay today's virtue.The younger brother heard his words, he was afraid of losing his reputation, and he felt nostalgic for his hometown.However, since he is willing to promise as a friend, this is his unwillingness to surrender.If you try harder, I'm afraid he won't surrender.So he was placed in the reception hall, and he came here to tell his brother about it.Bei Xia replied from the side: As long as you are willing to come, you can talk about it. Why are you not welcome? They are all good friends.Zhong Xiong laughed and said, "It's true, it's true."That's what my brother said.Nan Xia said: Shall we still welcome him?Zhihua said: You don't need to meet far away, just stop at the palace gate.The little brother is going to say goodbye first.

Not long after, Zhihua and Shalong arrived, went to the berth, looked at the palace gate, and saw how many Marquis Yu were standing there, under the palace gate, Zhong Taibao and the two heroes of the South and the North were waiting.The intelligent guide is in the front, the salon is in the back, climb up the steps, and welcome each other twice.Zhihua first introduced Zhong Xiong. Sharon said: "A certain Lu Fu, who accepted the wrong love of the village master, is really grateful.Zhong Xiong said: "I have admired the famous name for a long time, but I have not seen it."It's a pleasure to meet you today!Zhihua said: This is brother Ouyang.This is Brother Zhan.Sharon saw them one by one, and said again: "It's rare that the two heroes of the South and the North are here."This is caused by the village owner Weide.My salon is now attached to a horse, very fortunately very scared!Zhong Xiong was very proud when he heard this.Each other came to the Siqi Hall, where the guests and the host sat down.Zhong Xiong then asked Sharon how he got to Xiangyang.Sharon then lied to the magistrate about the situation. If the village master hadn't rescued him from prison, I, Sha, would never see the sky again.I have really benefited a lot, and I will be rewarded in the future.Zhong Xiong said: "It's common for you and me to be heroes, so it's nothing to worry about."Sharon deliberately asked the two heroes of the South and the North.Chatting with each other, the banquet has been set up.Zhong Xiong let Sharon, and Sharon gave in again and again, the village master was long, and the village master was short.Zhong Xiong is a hero, so to simply describe Nian Geng, that is, to call him his elder brother, is really a hero.Sharon is also open and aboveboard, and doesn't make any fuss about it.While drinking, Zhong Xiong said: "It's rare that elder brother Sha came here today, enough to comfort his life."Brother Fang Caizhixian has magnanimously explained his brother's ambition.Brother Sha just lives here, don't be restrained.Little brother is absolutely not troubled.Only Brother Ouyang, Brother Zhan, and the younger brother have to be entrusted with working hard for the younger brother.From now on, brother Ouyang will be asked to manage the affairs of the water village, and his wife and younger brother Jiang Kai will take care of the affairs of the dry village. I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of it alone, so I ask brother Zhan to cooperate with the manager.Brother Zhixian is in charge, and all the affairs of the two villages must be inspected by him.With all the brothers sharing the labor in this way, the younger brother can be at ease and spend some time quietly with Brother Sha every day, so that we can live up to today's reunion and our daily longing.After Zhihua heard it, it was exactly what he wanted, regardless of whether the two heroes of the South and the North should agree or not, he agreed wholeheartedly.On that day, the four of them broke up happily.

On the next day, Zhong Xiong sent an order to the big and small bosses: all the affairs of the water village should be known to Beixia, and the affairs of the dry village should be known to Nanxia and Lord Jiang;In less than five days, he managed to make Junshan more neat and serious.All the big and small leaders and soldiers cheered and praised.Zhong Xiong was overjoyed, thinking he had a helper, he was overjoyed.Who knows that these people are all plotting against him. Let's say that Jiang Ping was looking at Chen Qi, and when the time came, he should get up. He said goodbye to Ding Erye, Lu and Lu, and came to Liujiazhuang.It was late autumn at this time, the road was paved with yellow flowers, the fallen leaves were fluttering, but the clouds were overcast, and it was raining patteringly.Master Jiang thought that there would be no heavy rain in late autumn, so he went ahead in the rain.Unexpectedly, the drizzle was continuous and continuous, and the golden wind was blowing, making the whole body cool.When I looked down, my whole body was wet.Looking at the sky again, it's already dusk.It is also calculated that Liujiazhuang is still forty-five miles away, and it is absolutely impossible to reach it today.Fortunately, today is a ten-day period, and it will not be too late even if it arrives tomorrow.So find a shelter and rest and shelter from the rain.After driving for a few miles, I finally saw a temple over there. I rushed to the gate of the mountain, knocking and calling, but no one answered.I was very hesitant in my heart, and my whole body was wet. The autumn wind was blowing, and it was unbearably cold.He said to himself: Great!It was really an autumn rain and a cold.How can this be good?I saw an old man coming out from the opening of the firewood gate over there, holding a broken umbrella that was half broken.Seeing Jiang Ping's thin and frail body like a water chicken, he sighed and couldn't bear it, so he asked: "The guest officer thinks it's a long walk and it rained on the way."If you don't hate it, why don't you come to my tofu shop to avoid it.Jiang Pingdao: "It's rare for the old man to be merciful."It's just that Xiao Ke has never known each other before, so how can I disturb you.The old man said: "It's very important; but it's convenient, where is not human."Don't be rigid, please!Seeing that the old man was honest, Jiang Ping had no choice but to follow him into Chai Fei. I don't know who the old man is, let's listen to the next chapter.
