The journey went smoothly to the outside of Tokyo. Qinbei Pavilion
"Is this Anren Village?"
Sun Lei looked at the quiet little village in front of him. Like the small villages around Liangshanbo, it had low thatched wood houses and no one was walking around in the village.
"Is the person my brother is looking for in this village? I'm going to catch him right now!"
Li Kui had been thinking about how to make meritorious service and atone for his sins all the way, but now he wanted to show off when he got there.
"You iron bull are restless again!"
Lu Zhishen pressed Li Kui's shoulder with one hand. They were here to invite someone, how could they arrest someone right away? If that's the case, why bother walking.
"Master Lu will take everyone to sit in the hotel. Military Master Xiao and I will go to the village to have a look."
Sun Lei pointed to a hotel at the entrance of the village and said.
"It just so happens that Sajia is thirsty. Let's go have a drink first."
Lu Zhishen smiled and dragged Li Kui towards the hotel. Gongsun Sheng, Tang Bin, Jiao Ting, and Cao Zheng also followed him with smiles.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars and constellations are arranged. Cold comes and summer comes, and autumn harvests and winter hides. The leap year is over, and the law of Lu adjusts the sun. The clouds bring rain, and the dew turns into frost. Gold produces beautiful water, and jade emerges. Kungang. The sword is called Juque, the pearl is called Luminous. The fruit is precious, Li Nai, and the vegetable is heavy mustard and ginger."
Sun Lei and Xiao Jiasui came to the village and heard a sound of reading.
"Commander Xiao, is this "The Thousand-Character Essay"?"
Listening to the loud recitation, Sun Lei suddenly thought that he should also open a few schools in Liangshan. Bandits are not scary, but they are afraid of being educated.
"Yes, this is a must-read article for enlightenment today."
Xiao Jiasui is right.
In a thatched cottage school in the village where I followed the sound, I saw a middle-aged scribe holding a scroll and walking slowly among the students who were reading. It was Wen Huanzhang.
Just when Sun Lei and Xiao Jiasui walked into the courtyard of the academy, Wen Huanzhang turned around and looked over.
"Brother Wen!"
Xiao Jiasui smiled and cupped his fists at Wen Huanzhang who was looking over.
"Please read it carefully!"
Wen Huanzhang nodded to Xiao Jiasui, then said to the students, and walked out of the school.
"Brother Wen, the students are doing a good job in reciting. It seems that they are all enlightened."
Xiao Jiasui looked at Wen Huanzhang with a smile and said.
"This is the last group of students in the village."
Wen Huanzhang smiled and shook his head and said, this kind of village middle school is only responsible for literacy education, and the number of students only takes a few years. After the education, few continue to study, and most of them find a job to make a living.
"Who is this?"
Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei next to Xiao Jiasui. He already had some guesses in his mind, but he was still a little surprised to see Sun Lei's appearance. Sun Lei was only in his twenties, and his appearance did not look like a traditional martial artist at all, more like A kid from a rich family.
"Brother Wen, let me introduce to you. This is my brother Sun Lei, the great sage Qitian who is the talker in Liangshanbo."
Xiao Jiasui introduced with a smile.
"It turns out to be Leader Sun!"
Wen Huanzhang raised his fist towards Sun Lei.
"Mr. Wen, you're welcome."
Sun Lei returned the salute with a smile and cupped fists.
"This is not the place to talk, why not move to the back hall!"
Wen Huanzhang looked at the peaceful village. Sun Lei's appearance was likely to cause disaster, so it was better to keep a low profile.
"I've heard it all, sir."
Sun Lei smiled and said, "It's really not good to stand and talk at the door. It's better to sit down and talk slowly."
The back hall of the school is very simple, with two thatched huts, one is a study room and the other is a residence.
There is a desk, a few chairs, and a bookshelf in the study room, with a few books scattered here and there, and that's it.
"Is Chief Sun drinking alcohol or tea?"
Wen Huanzhang asked Sun Lei and Xiao Jiasui to sit down before asking. Xiao Jiasui was now Sun Lei's subordinate, so naturally he would not ask him about his preferences.
"Let's drink."
Sun Lei said with a smile that he was not thirsty. If he wanted tea, Wen Huanzhang would have to cook it, so he might as well just drink some wine.
After hearing this, Wen Huanzhang took out a small wine jar and several wine bowls. Sun Lei's words had a different meaning in his ears. Drinking tea means being an elegant person, and drinking alcohol means being a person in the world. Sun Lei said: Drinking is to emphasize that you are a worldly person.
"Mr. Wen, you should know the purpose of your visit. We, Liangshanbo, are currently in need of talented celebrities to make suggestions. Military Advisor Xiao recommended Mr. Wen. He was so busy that he ran away to the south of the Yangtze River and didn't come to invite me until today. I hope you will forgive me."
Sun Lei took a sip of wine and looked at Wen Huanzhang with a smile.
"I, a man from the mountains and plains, have heard about Leader Sun. He is indeed a hero."
Wen Huanzhang smiled and said that the news about Sun Lei in Jiangnan, Jiankang Prefecture, Jiangzhou, and Xuzhou had long been spread, even if he was teaching in the countryside.
"It's just a trivial matter that everyone looks up to."
Sun Lei smiled.
"But there is already a talent like Brother Xiao on the mountain, headed by Sun. I'm afraid I won't be able to help much if I hear that he is not very talented and has little knowledge."
Wen Huanzhang said again that although he has been unsuccessful, he will not seek refuge in a Jianghu cottage. Jianghu cottage really has no future at all. Instead of doing that, it would be better to live in seclusion in the wild and teach to make a living.
"Mr. Wen, Military Advisor Xiao is now my military advisor in Liangshanbo. He is certainly talented and capable. However, Military Advisor Xiao is only one person after all. As the saying goes, it is difficult to survive alone, so we still need the help of talents like Mr. Wen."
Sun Lei said with a smile, Xiao Jiasui is the best choice in terms of talent, knowledge and courage, but a person's power is limited after all. Which powerful figure in history is not surrounded by a group of people to help him? It is true that there is strength in numbers.
"As for helping me, I wonder if Mr. Wen will believe what I said."
Sun Lei changed his tone and continued.
Wen Huanzhang was also interested when he heard it. He was very curious about how many things could be done in a cottage. According to what he knew, Liangshanbo was a cottage with a few thousand people. With Xiao Jiasui's ability, it was more than enough to manage.
"For example, doing justice for heaven, maintaining peace, upholding justice, recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, resisting the northern barbarians from going south..."
"There are too many things to do. When I think about it, I realize that I don't have enough manpower. There is no shortage of heroes around me who dare to fight and kill. But to do these things, you can't just rely on slashing and killing. You need some talents who are proficient in military strategy. But there are not many around me. Then he shamelessly begged Military Advisor Xiao to find talents, and Military Advisor Xiao recommended Mr. Wen."
Sun Lei looked at Wen Huanzhang and said, without beating around the bush at all, he said everything that should be said and what should not be said. In his opinion, smart people like this should not lie, because they will see through the lies as soon as they are spoken. No one likes a liar.
Wen Huanzhang originally expected to hear the grand idea of a huge copycat. After all, Sun Lei's Liangshanbo was now the largest copycat in the world. He was probably invited to go there to run the copycat, plunder the place, and fight against the government, but he never expected it. Sun Lei unexpectedly said something astonishing, this is no longer a simple matter of taking over the mountain and becoming the king, this is an upright rebellion.
Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei's indifferent expression, and then looked at Xiao Jiasui's slight smile next to him, and knew that Sun Lei was not lying.
"This Sun Lei actually has such ambitions!"
Wen Huanzhang was shocked. He originally thought he was just meeting a figure in the world, but he didn't expect to see a big rebel, and he was the kind of audacious one.
