Lin Chong held a glass of wine in his hand, looked at everyone, and said: "I captured Sanniang from the battle, and we care about each other. How can we marry someone else?"
Wang Ying's ugly face twitched at the side and she wanted to speak, but Lin Chong glanced at her and held her back. She just looked at Song Jiang secretly.
Song Jiang frowned and said: "Brother Lin, what do you mean? Sanniang has now worshiped my father Song Taigong as her godfather and me as her godbrother. I have the right to decide her marriage!"
Lin Chong shook his head and said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. Everyone knows the cause and effect of this matter. We don't need Lin Chong to explain it clearly. Even if the marriage is counted, how can we have a hasty marriage?"
Song Jiang's face darkened when he heard this. Lin Chong's words naturally meant that he had killed the other party's whole family in Hujiazhuang. Now the marriage proposal was just trying to cover up, and it was nothing.
At this time, Li Kui was patting the table beside him, jumped up and said, "Why are you talking to my brother? You are trying to kill me!"
Lin Chong sneered and said, "Blackie, if you don't accept it, just go out and fight."
Chao Gai was sitting on the main seat, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "Don't argue. Now that Sanniang is also going up the mountain, she is one of her own family members. She is arguing about this matter and spreading the word to make fellow Green Foresters laugh at her."
Song Jiang said: "Brother Lin, it's wrong for you to speak like this. If Sanniang doesn't recognize the marriage, how can it be possible? Since Sanniang already recognizes me as her brother, it's just a matter of pointing out a marriage for her. What's the matter?" Why is it wrong?"
Lin Chong glanced at the people in the seat, and many of them looked at him unkindly. Most of them were those who went up the mountain with Song Jiang after the Jiangzhou robbery.
He glanced at Wu Yong with a vague look in his eyes, and when he saw Wu Yong just sitting and drinking, he couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
Now even Wu Yong is getting closer to Song Jiang, and the people around Chao Gai are becoming increasingly rare. Even the few who were in the robbery of the birthday card are no longer with him.
But think about it, although Chao Gai has some reputation, how can he be as famous as Song Jiang? Not only in Shandong, but also in Henan, Hebei, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, there are a few people who don't know that Shandong's timely rain calls for the protection of Song Gongming.
Before Chao Gai came to the mountain, he was just a village keeper and had no team of his own. When he was really thrown into the green forest, there were too many people who were more famous and powerful than him.
Although Song Jiang did not have a team, he was famous enough that with just a wave of his hand, people would come to him. Those who originally followed Chao Gai also came to him.
Lin Chong's mind was spinning and he said: "My brother's words are not wrong, but we still have to consider this matter. After all, Sanniang and I cherish each other. As for Brother Wang..."
Lin Chong chuckled twice, and the implication was self-evident. He captured Hu Sanniang, and the two cherished each other. As for Wang Ying, regardless of his character and appearance, even his martial arts skills were not worthy of him.
Wang Ying was gnashing his teeth at the table, his expression twisted, and he hated Lin Chong to the core. His heart was agitated, so he went to see Hu Sanniang. He saw that Hu Sanniang was wearing a light-colored dress today. She had a slim waist and a peach-shaped face. , couldn't help but swallowed hard.
Chao Gai looked at the people below, looked at Song Jiang, looked at Lin Chong, and felt annoyed in his heart. He knew his own affairs, but now he was no better than when he first went up the mountain.
There were not many people following him anymore, most of them went to get close to Song Jiang. His brother was so angry that he was yelling. Even Lin Chong, there was a group of brothers who had returned from the government, practicing martial arts every day, talking about the past, sighing with emotion.
He is the only one who knows anyone half-heartedly!
Thinking of this, Chao Gai became furious and threw the wine glass to the ground: "Why are you making such a noise? Are you afraid of being laughed at? I, Chao Gai, have to take care of Liang Shanbo's face!"
Everyone was startled, and then they realized that the boss was still there.
Song Jiang looked at Chao Gai and said: "King of Heaven, since this matter has been brought out today, it must be settled. If it is delayed, it will be even worse."
Chao Gai couldn't help but snorted coldly when he saw that he didn't even call him brother at this moment.
Lin Chong lowered his eyelids and said: "If there is any delay, let Sanniang decide on this matter!"
Song Jiang immediately said: "The right way is the order of the parents, the matchmaker's words, how can the marriage be decided by one's own family?"
Lin Chong let out a hey, looked at Li Kui and said, "What do you mean, brother... do you want this black guy to go underground to question Taigong Hu?"
Song Jiang's expression immediately changed after hearing this, and Li Kui shouted from the other side: "What do you mean, I've cut everyone down, how will you treat them?"
Lin Chong glanced at Hu Sanniang and saw that there was no expression on the woman's face, and there was no sign of happiness, anger, sorrow, or joy, so he frowned slightly.
Today's incident is a pretext. If he doesn't use this to fight against Song Jiang, then after these three attacks on Zhujiazhuang, Song Jiang's momentum will become even stronger. I am afraid that Liangshan will become his voice. As for Hu Sanniang, he also He feels pity when he sees her, but if he wants to be in the top position, he must be a good example. Since he cherishes her, he will talk about getting married, even though getting married is not necessary for him.
Chao Gai's face was cold, and he thought to himself that if he didn't come up with a charter today, he would lose his prestige even more, and I'm afraid no one would recognize him as the number one leader in the future.
But how easy is it to come up with a charter? Song Jiang was hypocritical and deceitful, while Lin Chong was rebellious. He felt uncomfortable even if he leaned slightly to either side.
Chao Gai looked at Hu Sanniang at this time and felt that this woman was very beautiful. She couldn't bear to be paired with Wang Ying, a lecherous and ugly man, so he said: "Since Sanniang has gone up the mountain, she is a member of the same family. Everyone on Liangshan is a brother and sister." , I think I’ll just let Sanniang make her own choice!”
As soon as he said this, Song Jiang immediately frowned and looked over with a keen eye. How could Chao Gai be afraid of him looking at him? Then he said to everyone: "I, the elder brother, let Sanniang choose by herself. Is it fair?"
Everyone in the hall couldn't find anything wrong after hearing this. Since Liangshan is a family, everyone is naturally brothers and sisters. It is reasonable to let the younger sister choose at home. Even Li Kui didn't say anything.
Only Wang Ying's expression became extremely sinister. He glanced at Chao Gai, lowered his head, and pinched the dagger at his waist.
Lin Chong smiled and said: "What my brother said is absolutely true. Lin Chong should obey his orders."
Over there, Chao Gai looked at Hu Sanniang: "What do you mean by Sanniang?"
Hu Sanniang still looked cold and indifferent and said: "Just listen to the leader."
Chao Gai smiled, feeling very energetic at the moment: "That's settled, brothers, if you have any doubts, you can raise them."
Most of the people in the crowd were heroes who liked to dance with guns and sticks, but disliked women. There were also people who coveted Hu Sanniang's beauty. At this moment, they felt that this was an opportunity, and they couldn't help but applaud.
Wang Ying didn't dare to speak at this time, but buried his head lower, his insides were boiling with pain. If Hu Sanniang was allowed to choose, how could he compete with Lin Chong? The fat in his mouth would be taken away, and he was ashamed not to mention it. It’s even more uncomfortable if you don’t get the benefits.
Seeing that no one objected, Song Jiang's heart sank. The moment he saw Hu Sanniang in Zhujiazhuang, he had already thought about taking her in. Otherwise, he would not have escorted her directly back to the mountain and delivered her to Song Taigong, but Li Kui and others had no choice but to take it in. He killed the men, women, and children of Hujiazhuang and set fire to Zhuangzi. If he accepts Hu Sanniang now, it will ruin his reputation.
He thought about it, after all, reputation is important, and women are not important. In the end, he had no choice but to give up, but he didn't want this Sanniang to fall into the hands of others. He just wanted her to be happy, so he remembered the promise he made to Wang Ying when he was in Qingfeng Village. , thinking of killing three birds with one stone, which would not only fulfill the brotherhood, satisfy the thoughts in my heart, but also add a promise of a thousand pieces of gold, so today's engagement happened.
But now it seems that this matter can no longer be done. Chao Gai's words sounded fair, but in fact they favored Lin Chong. How could Hu Sanniang fall in love with Wang Ying, the anxious ugly ghost.
And at this moment, those close friends are not talking. After all, most of these people don't care about women's affairs. He can't expressly ask them to help him with this kind of thing. If he says it, he will lose his reputation and worth.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang sighed and said, "Just listen to the King of Heaven."
Chao Gai laughed loudly, drank a glass of wine, and said: "Sanniang has a good choice. If you choose, you will enter the bridal chamber tonight!"
Hu Sanniang raised her eyes at this time, looked at Song Jiang first, then looked at Lin Chong and said, "I choose Leader Lin."
Everyone didn't make too much noise when they heard this. Even those who are good friends with Wang Ying are thinking that even if they were chosen by themselves, they would not choose you, a short-legged tiger-colored embryo.
Chao Gai nodded and said: "In that case, after the banquet is over, we will prepare to marry Chief Lin, and we will have a feast to celebrate in the evening!"
Lin Chong looked at Hu Sanniang and saw her charming face. His heart couldn't help but feel a little shaken, and he seemed to feel more at ease...
At night, the new moon is like a hook.
Lin Chong drank a lot of wine and went back to his residence. He was wearing a crimson groom's collar, swaying, and his face was rosy and shiny.
The courtyard door of the residence is decorated with the character "囍" on it, and the windows and doors inside are also decorated in the same way.
When the two wives saw him coming back, they said congratulations and left the hospital. Lin Chong walked into the bridal chamber.
Seeing Hu Sanniang sitting motionless by the bed with her head covered, Lin Chong couldn't help but pause in his steps.
The red candle was burning brightly at the moment, illuminating the room with a bright red color. He glanced at the food and wine on the table and said, "Is Sanniang hungry?"
He shook his head lightly.
Lin Chong thought for a while, then walked over and lifted the hijab with the wedding scale, revealing Hu Sanniang's face, but it was still cold and indifferent, with no sign of joy or sadness.
Lin Chong reached out and took off his crimson robe. Hu Sanniang looked at him without saying a word.
Lin Chong finished taking off his robe, revealing the short clothes underneath, and pointed at the table: "Sanniang, please eat some. I drank too much, so I went to play with guns to get sweaty."
After saying that, he even forgot to drink a glass of wine, so he hurried to the outhouse, picked up a flower gun and brought it to the courtyard.
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but frown when she looked at his back.
Lin Chong came to the courtyard and showed off his marksmanship. He beat him like a flying dragon or a snake. After he was done, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and his face became gloomy.
He looked back at the room and saw that the figure was still sitting, so he walked back and saw that the food and wine on the table were still untouched, and Hu Sanniang was sitting in a daze wearing a crown.
He said: "Sanniang, come and drink."
After hearing the words, Sanniang came over. After the two exchanged drinks, Sanniang went to sit by the bed. Then she took off the crown on her head, but she did not take off her green wedding dress.
Lin Chong took a look at Sanniang's appearance and figure, took a deep breath, stood up, walked over and sat beside the bed, but did not move for a long time, and suddenly said: "There is too much wine, and we still need to play with guns. Sanniang will just lie down and rest first."
After saying that, he walked straight out again.
Hu Sanniang sat for a while, then took off her green wedding dress and lay down with her face inward. After a while, she heard Lin Chong come back and make the sound of undressing, then he came up and lay aside.
Hu Sanniang became nervous. After some time, Lin Chong stood up silently and went out to play with the gun again. This time, he played for a longer time. There was a "bang bang" sound coming from outside. Sanniang felt a little scared and started to play. Come and see.
I saw Lin Chong standing in the courtyard, one of his spears had been broken, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were blank as he stood there.
Hu Sanniang ran over in a hurry. She was so heartbroken that she didn't want to speak, but now she didn't know why, but she actually said: "Chief... what are you doing?"
Lin Chong turned around and saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his body was shaky.
Hu Sanniang went to help him, not knowing what to say, but the two of them supported each other and staggered into the room. Lin Chong fell directly on the bed.
After a while, Lin Chong slowly closed his eyes and said, "Come here and sleep."
Hu Sanniang was stunned. After standing for a moment, she gritted her teeth and got on the bed. She lay down carefully and took a peek at Lin Chong, only to see that the other party had already fallen asleep...
