Wang Lun originally didn't want to take anyone with him, but seeing that Du Qian was an honest, simple, straightforward man with strong martial arts skills, he kept Du Qian here. Soon after, the two met Song Wan.
Song Wan was originally a horse dealer who traveled between Song and Liao. He lived in Liao but was a Han. This year, Song Wan sold a hundred horses from the north to Gaotang Prefecture. He didn't want the horse buyer to be a local tyrant. , was Tong Qian, the nephew of Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty. This Tong Qian wanted the horse but refused to give him the money. He falsely accused Song Wan and others of being spies of the Liao Kingdom, and wanted to arrest Song Wan and others.
Song Wan and others resisted arrest, and as a result, more than a dozen of their companions were beaten to death on the spot. Only Song Wan relied on some skills to break through the encirclement and escaped with his life. However, he was also seriously injured and was dying. He was about to die after being seriously injured. On the roadside, fortunately, Wang Lun and Du Qian passed by and rescued him, leaving him alive. From then on, there was another big black man beside Wang Lun.
Later, Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan passed through Liangshan and encountered a group of bandits who robbed a passing business traveller. Fifty or sixty bandits surrounded a dozen travelers and killed them. In just a blink of an eye, all the travelers were killed. , when Wang Lun and the others arrived, only one girl was left, being dragged up the mountain by a few bandits.
Wang Lun and the other three rushed forward to rescue the robbed girl, and fought with a group of robbers. None of these robbers had any martial arts skills, but the leader had some skills, but how could he compare to them? Du Qian and Song Wan were chopped to the ground by Song Wan within a few moves, and the rest of the bandits dispersed.
The rescued girl is Ping'er. According to Ping'er, her family name is Lin, from Laizhou. She has been doing small business with her parents since she was a child. Recently, she has lost her capital due to the business, and her family's property and house have been paid off. , Having nowhere to stay, he thought of visiting his relatives in Luoyang, Xijing.
Because the journey was far away, Ping'er traveled with a dozen merchants who were going to Luoyang. The journey was originally uneventful, but when they passed through Liangshan, they encountered bandits. Ping'er's parents were killed by the bandit leader.
When the bandit leader saw Ping'er's beauty, he had evil thoughts and wanted to take Ping'er back to be the wife of the stronghold. When he was trying to pull Ping'er away, he was fortunately saved by Wang Lun and others, and they were spared a lot of humiliation.
Wang Lun and the others wanted to eliminate evil and avenge Ping'er, so they rushed to the mountain stronghold. However, when they rushed into the mountain stronghold, they saw only a low earth wall, a few dilapidated thatched huts, and dozens of young men with yellow faces and skinny muscles. He squatted in the courtyard.
When the minions saw Wang Lun and others rushing in, they were so frightened that they knelt down, kowtowed, and begged for mercy: "We are just some refugees who have gathered here in Liangshan to survive because they have no livelihood. He robbed some passing merchants and stole some money and food to survive, but he never dared to commit murder.
It was only later that a fugitive escaped from prison. Because this fugitive had some skills, he was made the leader. He forced us to do all those murders and swindling. Please spare our lives, heroes! "
After the minions finished speaking, they kowtowed like garlic. Wang Lun saw that what these minions said did not seem to be lying, and seeing that they were just poor refugees, he gave up his murderous intention and immediately waved these minions to step aside.
Then Wang Lun climbed to the top of the mountain village and looked around at Liangshan Mountain. He saw that Liangshan Mountain was majestic and endless, and was surrounded by water on three sides. In the water, there were thick reeds and vast smoke, which was probably seven or eight hundred miles away. It is round in radius, and except for the southern front where the mountain is slightly gentle and there is a land road leading to the official road, the other three sides are actually cliffs. It is really a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Brother, are you interested in Liangshan?" Du Qian saw Wang Lun thinking deeply and was silent, so he stepped forward and said, "We have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for several years, and it is time to find a place to settle down."
"Yes, brother." Song Wan also agreed: "I think this place is good, let's stay."
"Two worthy brothers, do you think so too?" Wang Lun looked at the two of them and asked.
Du and Song both nodded, and the three brothers looked at each other and smiled. From then on, Wang Lun took charge of Liangshan and became the big leader of Liangshan. Naturally, Du Qian and Song Wan also became leaders, and Lin Ping'er because of Her parents were dead and she didn't know where her relatives were in Luoyang. She had nowhere to go, so she stayed in Liangshan and became Wang Lun's maid.
The original gangsters on the mountain also followed Wang Lun, and Wang Lun gathered some homeless and poor people near Liangshan. In a short time, more than 200 people gathered on Liangshan.
Liangshan is full of land and lakes. On weekdays, Wang Lun would let a group of minions farm and fish. In his spare time, Du Qian and Song Wan would teach him some martial arts, and then Wang Lun would practice the art of war. After a while, he became quite capable. Combat strength.
Wang Lun also arranged sentinels at the foot of the mountain. When he met ordinary merchants passing by, he would let them go. If he met someone who was in trouble, he would also help him. But if there were rich people who were unkind or corrupt officials passing by, Don't let anyone go, and grab the money from everyone.
But he would never harm anyone's life easily. Unless he was found to have committed a heinous crime, he would be caught on the mountain, beheaded in public, and perform justice for heaven. For a while, Liangshan also gained some fame.
Wang Lun then wrote a letter to Chai Jin, inviting Chai to come to Liangshan for a gathering. After receiving the letter, Chai Jin immediately took Xiao Wu to Liangshan with him.
At the same time, Wang Lun also sent a letter to Qilinmen, sincerely inviting master and disciple Zhou Tong to meet at Liangshan when they could.
When Chai Jin arrived at Liangshan, he was greatly impressed when he saw the situation in Liangshan. However, the village in Liangshan was really dilapidated and unsightly. Chai Jin couldn't stand it, so he immediately gave Wang Lun a big gift.
Chai Jin allocated a large amount of money to repair and expand the village in Liangshan, and even sent a capable subordinate to supervise it. The work started day and night, and it only took more than half a year for the village to begin to take shape.
After the Liangshan village was built, the subordinate sent by Chai Jin did not return to Haoran Village, but stayed in Liangshan according to Chai Jin's order.
This person is from Yizhou, his surname is Zhu Minggui, he is tall, with eyes like copper bells, a long face and a high forehead, and is born with strange appearance. Because he saw injustice on the road in his hometown, he accidentally beat to death a local bully, and he had to live in the world. , and later joined Chai Jinzhuang. Chai Jin saw that Zhu Gui was a talented person, so he kept him by his side to work.
Later, when Wang Lun came to take charge of Liangshan, Chai Jin saw that there were really no decent talents around Wang Lun. Du Qian and Song Wan were good at fighting and killing, but not good at managing the village, so he sent this Zhugui to Wang Lun. Be a helper.
Wang Lun saw that although Zhu Gui had a strange appearance, he was a shrewd and careful person, so he asked him to open a hotel next to the official road in Shannan, specifically to explore the net worth of passing merchants and at the same time inquire about the gossip in the world. .
From then on, Wang Lun and others gathered in Liangshan, using this as a basis to attract heroes from all over the world to punish traitors and eliminate evil, and to fight against all injustices in the world.
Time flies. Fourteen years have passed since the destruction of Dawangzhuang. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, Chai Jin came to visit. Wang Lun held a banquet in Liangshan Dazhai in honor of Chai Jin. Catching the wind, all the brothers watch the moon and drink together.
After several years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, he finally built a foundation on Liangshan Mountain and had all his brothers reunited. Wang Lun was so happy that he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
At midnight, the bright moon was in the sky and the chill was getting thicker. Wang Lun looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but he couldn't help but think of the tragic incident of his family's death. He was overcome with sadness and couldn't help himself. Suddenly he felt severe pain in the meridians all over his body. It was the recurrence of an old disease. , then rolled his eyes, and immediately passed out and fell unconscious.
When Wang Lun woke up again, he found that he was still lying on the bed in the original room. After thinking about his thoughts, Wang Lun couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. He sighed in his heart. This dream was so long. He didn't move when he was lying on the bed. It took just one night, but the consciousness in my mind had already gone through a process of fourteen years.
After fourteen years of dreaming in one night, Wang Lun can no longer tell whether the various experiences in the dream are a dream or reality. He might call it a dream, but it is all too real. Everything is as if he has experienced it himself. But speaking of reality, I think it is impossible, because since I traveled through time, I have always been lying on the bed, and I have never even left the door of this room.
What Wang Lun felt at this moment was that everything he had experienced in the past fourteen years in his dream, plus the memory of Wang Lun before he was fourteen years old in this life, and everything that had happened in the twenty-eight spring and autumn years, had now completely become own memories and past.
But these memories and past are intertwined with my own life in another life, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other. This is really a magical and mysterious feeling that cannot be expressed in words.
However, Wang Lun still has some doubts in his heart, which is what kind of era he has traveled through time and space, and why everything here is so different from what he knew and understood in another life.
Did he travel to a so-called parallel universe that people often talk about in later generations? Or is this simply an unknown time and space intertwined with history and legend, unofficial history and romance? All this made Wang Lun feel very confused and unable to explain.
In the end, Wang Lun finally sighed. It seems that now he can only use the old saying "As soon as it comes, let it be" to comfort himself. Let's take it one step at a time.
A gentle knock on the door pulled Wang Lun out of his thoughts. The voice of the maid Ping'er sounded outside the door: "Master, are you awake? I'll help him change his clothes."
"I'm awake, come in." Wang Lun quickly got up and got out of bed.
Ping'er pushed the door open and came in. She saw Wang Lun standing on the ground. She gently changed Wang Lun's clothes and asked, "Master, are you feeling better?"
Wang Lun now felt that there was nothing uncomfortable on his body, and the pain in his chest had disappeared, so he nodded and said, "I'm fine."
Wang Lun looked down at the beautiful little maid in front of him, but he had a special feeling in his heart, because in his dream last night, he had an extraordinary relationship with this Ping'er.
In the course of last night's dream, just half a month ago, something indescribable happened between Wang Lun and Ping'er. Since then, the two have been tired of being together every day, lingering day and night, unable to stop, so much so that Wang Lun was overworked. Infected with wind chill.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival night three days ago, Wang Lun's cold had just improved, but he was in a bad mood because of the tragedy at home, drank too much, and became more exposed. As a result, his old illness relapsed, and he died.
