Shi Jin and Zhu Wu led a group of leaders to salute Wang Lun and others with clasped fists, and welcomed Wang Lun back to the mountain. They all came to pay homage to Zhou Tong. Xiao Wu also introduced his aunt Yao Xiujing, Zhao Yun and Xiao Hu to everyone, and they couldn't help but be in a hurry.
"What happened?" Wang Lun waved Shi Jin and Zhu Wu over, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you get started here? Besides, why did you all go down the mountain?"
Zhu Wu saw Wang Lun's expression was wrong and immediately said: "I was about to report this matter to my eldest brother. Recently I got the exact news that an old official returning home from retirement was passing through Liangshan. We have already found out clearly that this old guy is an official. In decades, he has never done anything serious, but he is very good at plundering people's wealth. He brought hundreds of thousands of coins back home this time.
We had already decided to wait until we passed Xiaowangzhuang before taking action. Unexpectedly, this guy actually hired two strong men to serve as guards. As soon as we left Xiaowangzhuang, our brother who was responsible for tail tracking was discovered, and there was immediate action on both sides. Hands came, but after a few encounters, our people were captured by these two guards.
The people leading the team this time were Li Zhong and Zhou Tong. When they saw that our brother who was responsible for tracking was captured, they had no choice but to take action in advance. As a result, in less than three rounds, both Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were defeated. He failed and was captured.
Later, spies reported to the mountain, so Shi Jin and I sent Chen Da, Yang Chun, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run down the mountain to seize the man. Not wanting to be defeated again, we realized that we had encountered a master, so we led a large group of people down the mountain. I wonder how sacred it would be.
When we got to the foot of the mountain and saw these two people, they were really extraordinary. We exchanged names according to the rules of the martial arts world, and then we realized that these two people were Shaolin disciples. Shaolin is a famous and upright martial arts sect, and Shaolin disciples have always been knights in the martial arts world. He has a reputation for being upright and honest. We respect Shaolin, so we don’t want to join forces to attack it.
At that moment, we made an agreement with those two people to determine the winner or loser by fighting. If Liangshan wins, they will no longer be involved in this matter. The old official who returned home will be left to our disposal. But if he two win, Liangshan also wanted to let them go. "
Seeing that he met someone from the Shaolin sect, Wang Lun said, "Since he is a disciple of Shaolin, he must be a hero. Have you ever asked him his name?"
"I've asked." Zhu Wu replied: "The two of them are not very old. The older one is in his early twenties, and the younger one is only sixteen or seventeen years old. They are called Wu Song and Yan Qing respectively. They are also famous in the world. I have never heard of their names. I think they were just coming out of Shaolin and their reputations are not obvious. Otherwise, with their martial arts, these two would have made a big name in the world."
Shi Jin laughed at the side and said: "I'm afraid that after this battle in Liangshan, these two people will be famous all over the world."
When Wang Lun heard that these two people turned out to be Wu Song and Yan Qing, he immediately became energetic. You must know that in the Water Margin legend of later generations, Wu Song and Yan Qing were very famous. They were absolutely household names and everyone knew about them.
Among them, this Yanqing native gave him the nickname "Prodigal Yanqing", also known as Yan Xiaoyi. He is handsome, handsome and intelligent. He is extremely intelligent. He is good at playing, playing, playing, playing and singing. He is a protégé of Lu Junyi, the Hebei Yuqilin, who has unique sumo wrestling skills. He and Lu Junyi are both teachers and friends. They have always followed Lu Junyi, never leaving, and supporting each other wholeheartedly.
And this Yan Qing can be said to be the most knowledgeable among all the heroes of the Water Margin, the person who has insight into the human heart, and the most thorough view of the dangers in the world. Most of the heroes in the Water Margin ended miserably and did not end well, but only this Yan Qing finally embraced Beauty, free and easy.
Besides, Wu Song is even more famous in the world. He is the most mentioned in the entire Water Margin and is known as Wu Shihui. The part describing Wu Song in the book is also the most exciting. Wu Song's life experience can be described as legendary. He defeated Hu Jing Yangang and killed Ximen Qing in anger. , drunkenly beat up the door-keeper Chiang, made a scene in Feiyunpu, and splashed blood in Yuanyang Tower.
Reading this series of stories makes people's blood rush and become addicted. When mentioning the tiger-fighting hero Wu Song, everyone must raise their thumbs and praise them. In the minds of thousands of Water Margin fans, there are many Water Margin characters. Which one is your favorite among them? Eight out of ten people will think it is Wu Song, and Wang Lun is no exception. The favorite among the heroes of the Water Margin is Wu Song.
However, Wang Lun did not expect that he would meet Wu Song and Yan Qing at the foot of Liangshan Mountain today. The unhappiness in his heart had long since disappeared. When he heard that Zhu Wu said that he had just arranged to compete with Wu Song and Yan Qing, he asked: "Contest" How is the result?"
Shi Jin chuckled and said, "We agreed with the two of them to compete in three martial arts competitions. Because they are Shaolin disciples, they did not use weapons and only competed with fists and kicks. The first competition was between the Ma Lin brothers and Yan Qing."
"Brother Ma Lin has made great progress in martial arts recently and has reached a first-class level." Wang Lun nodded and said, "What was the result of this competition?"
"When Brother Ma Lin came on the field, he saw that Yan Qing was still young, so he didn't make any heavy move. As a result, he suffered a loss as soon as he stretched out his hand." Shi Jin shook his head and said, "This Yan Qing is really powerful. He is all about sumo wrestling." The kung fu was very good. Ma Lin was careless and was thrown three times by Yan Qing. Seeing that there was no point in continuing the competition, Ma Lin voluntarily admitted defeat. We lost this first round.
We didn't expect Yan Qing's martial arts to be so high. Ma Lin had already lost the first match. No one on our mountain had better martial arts skills than Ma Lin. I had no choice but to compete in the second match. I was hoping to get a win and let the two families give up and make peace, so in the second game I faced Wu Song. I fought with Wu Song for fifty rounds. It happened that my senior brother came back at this time, so the two of us stopped. Fight. "
Wang Lun smiled and said, "You have fought with Wu Song for more than fifty years. How do you feel about Wu Song's kung fu?"
"I'm ashamed to say it." Shi Jin said with a wry smile: "This Wu Song's skill is really superior to others. If senior brother hadn't arrived at this time, I would have lost if the competition continued."
Wang Lun smiled and said: "It seems that we have lost everything today!"
Shi Jin was very open-minded and said with a smile: "There's nothing we can do about it. Our skills are inferior to others."
Wang Lun laughed and said, "Come on, let's take a look at these two people."
Wang Lun led a group of Liangshan leaders to the open space in front of Xiaowangzhuang. He saw hundreds of Liangshan soldiers surrounding a convoy. This convoy had more than 20 carts and more than a hundred people. At this time, all these people He held his head in his hands and squatted under the car, not daring to raise his head. Only two people stood with their heads held high in front of the motorcade.
Wang Lun came closer and looked at the two people. He saw that the man on the right was of medium height but extremely well-proportioned. He had a thin waist and broad shoulders. He looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. His lips were painted red and his eyes were like dots. Qi, looks extremely handsome, this person must be Yan Qing.
Wang Lun had seen many beautiful men, but the three he had seen in his life were Yue Fei, Shi Jin, and Hua Rong. Yue Fei was the most majestic, Shi Jin was the most dashing, and Hua Rong was the most handsome. It's soft and beautiful, and this Yan Qing is by no means weaker than Yue Fei and the others, with flowing eyes and the most romantic charm.
But the person next to Yan Qing was of a different spirit. He should be at least 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a broad chest. He was extremely tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a cold light in his eyes. It is so radiant and breathtaking that the person here must be Wu Song.
Wu Song's clothes seemed to have been torn in the fight just now. When he saw Wang Lun and others coming over, he thought they were going to compete, so he simply waved his shirt and tore it to pieces, exposing his muscles.
Wang Lun has seen countless people with strong bodies and muscular bodies, and there are many people who practice bodybuilding in modern society in later generations. But if compared with the Wu Song in front of him, even the world bodybuilding champion would have to be defeated, just in terms of physical strength. In terms of level, Wu Song ranks first among the people Wang Lun has ever seen.
When Wu Song saw the people in Liangshan approaching Wang Lun, he decided that Wang Lun must be the leader of these people. He said loudly: "The competition just now is not over yet. My brother Yan Qing won the first one, and the second one was won by my brother Yan Qing." Although there is no result in the competition, Shi Dalang has extraordinary martial arts, and I admire him very much. This second game is considered a draw. I wonder who taught me this third game?"
As he spoke, Wu Song hugged Wang Lun again and said, "This must be the leader of Liangshan. Is our bet still worth it?"
Wang Lun smiled and said: "There is no need to compete, we admit defeat, and the people you escort can leave on their own."
Wu Song and Yan Qing were both surprised to see Wang Lun surrender so easily. They looked at each other, and Yan Qing said, "Are you serious?"
"I can still lie to your child!" Wang Lun smiled, waved his hand, and the Liangshan soldiers surrounding the convoy immediately withdrew to both sides and got out of the way.
When the old official who returned home saw that the surrounding soldiers had withdrawn, he immediately crawled over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Lun several times, and expressed his gratitude profusely.
Wang Lun didn't want to listen to his chatter and waved his hand to tell him to leave quickly. The old man got up and ran to the side of the motorcade to wait for Wu Song and Yan Qing.
When Wu Song saw that Wang Lun had really withdrawn all the besiegers, his expression couldn't help but he clasped his fists and said, "The leader is true to his word. I admire you. We brothers will say goodbye. We will meet again in the future if we are destined to do so."
After Wu Song said this, he pulled Yanqing and turned to leave, but Wang Lun suddenly said: "Brothers, please go slowly. Can you listen to what Wang has to say?"
Wu Song turned around, frowned slightly and said, "Big boss, please speak."
Wang Lun, however, had a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Why are you two good men, brothers, so willing to degenerate into helping and serving as hawks for such corrupt officials who harm the people and bully good people?"
Purple energy flashed across Wu Song's face, his eyes were like lightning, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"
Wang Lun remained calm and said, "Brother Wu Song, do you know who you are escorting all the way?"
Wu Song's face couldn't help but said: "An official who resigned from his old age and returned to his hometown."
"Then let me ask you again." Wang Lun snorted coldly, and then said: "Do you think an official who retires and returns to his hometown will have twenty carts of property?"
Wu Song said hesitantly: "He is an official, so he naturally earns more."
"It's true that an official can make a lot of money." Wang Lun laughed loudly and said, "But do you know how much salary an official in the Song Dynasty earns per year? The old man you are escorting is an official of the fourth grade." In ten years, the largest official reached the third rank, but even if he had been a third-rank official for forty years, based on the annual salary of a third-rank official in the Song Dynasty, one thousand guan, he would have saved the most for forty years without eating or drinking. Forty thousand strings.
But if you look back at his twenty carts, they probably contain more than 40,000 guan. You wouldn’t think that all his money was brought by the strong wind, would you? Ask him, I’m telling the truth. There is half a lie. "
At this time, Wu Song knew that Wang Lun's words must be true. How could this old man, an ordinary official, have so much property? He must have obtained it from plundering people's property. Without noticing, Wu Song actually became a bodyguard for this corrupt official. I immediately felt very regretful and couldn't help but bow my head and remain silent.
Yan Qing stamped his feet on the side and said: "Senior brother, this old man must be a corrupt official. We pitied him for being old and weak, and brought so much property with him. We were afraid that he would be robbed by bandits on the road. He begged us hard before we agreed. I protected him all the way, but I didn't want to help him do evil. If this spreads out, it will definitely stain the reputation of you and my brother. Why not just deal with this old man, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
