If a good person has a decent way of living, who would want to go up the mountain and become a bandit, living a life of no peace, licking blood from the edge of a knife, and having a bad reputation as a "bandit" after death?
To say that no one on Huangmen Mountain has that intention is definitely not the case.
It's just that they have fallen to this point, and each has their own unspeakable difficulties.
Just asking them to recruit him and come down from the mountain with empty words is definitely impossible, and he is afraid of being deceived.
However, these high-level words were not intended to persuade them to go down the mountain to seek peace. Instead, they were told that the general would come out for a while, which made everyone unable to relax for a while. It sounded like nonsense.
There was silence for a moment in the Juyi Hall.
Gao Kan once mentioned to Lu Zhishen that a true man should kill the enemy and bandits and serve the country, so that he can live up to his martial arts skills.
But he never told Lin Chong.
Therefore, it was the first time Lin Chong heard this, and his heart was no less shocked than the four heroes of Huangmen Mountain.
After a long time, it was Jiang Jing who spoke first: "Mr. Gao, I can't wait to be a mere mortal, with a life as low as an ant, how can I be worthy of talking about such a big thing?"
"As long as a common man is loyal and brave, do you dare to ask the Chan Yu if his sword is sharp?"
Gao Kan stood up and said: "The yellow dog still knows how to protect the family home, and will not let go of the thieves. You are all heroes with good martial arts. Are you willing to huddle up on this small Huangmen Mountain?" Should I kill the enemy to serve the country and protect my country?"
"It's easy to say, but I'm just waiting..."
Jiang Jing was still about to speak, but Ou Peng stood up from the main seat.
"Master Gao, you are the son of Lieutenant Gao of Tokyo Prefecture. Naturally, people speak loudly, but we are all helpless duckweeds. We talk lightly. There are only a hundred or so despicable lives on this mountain, and we are just trying to live in peace. How can we talk about our family and country? "
When it comes to major events in the world, let alone number 100 people like them, even those important officials in the court who hold tens of millions of lives and lives in their hands are still helpless.
Ou Peng rarely has such great ambitions, but it is enough to have a place where he can settle down and live happily.
Gao Kan also saw it, and trying to persuade him with the righteousness of his family and country was tantamount to playing the harp to an ox.
If so, it's better to talk about real business.
Then he changed the topic and said: "In that case, I won't force anyone to do anything, but if the boss is interested, we can still talk about business."
"What's the business?" Ou Peng asked.
"I have a grain road with Daming Mansion, which often passes through the boundary of Huangmen Mountain. I would like to ask all brothers to show your support."
Gao Kan said and cupped his hands: "I would like to use the master's mountain gate as a resting place for the brothers who are escorting back and forth. All the expenses should be properly arranged."
"It's easy to get over from here. Shopkeeper Tian is also an old acquaintance. He just went up the mountain to rest, so I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient."
Ou Peng said in a deep voice.
Gao Kan has such good players as Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong under him, and those who accompany him are not easy to do.
It's fine if you have occasional visits, but if you go up and down frequently, you have to rest on the mountain.
They were asked to find out the way to the mountain gate, fearing that they would not know it if the owner changed.
Ou Peng naturally refused to agree to such conditions, and he became wary at that time. Most of the joy of getting to know Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen at the beginning was gone.
Gao Kan didn't force anything and said straight away: "In this case, I'm grateful for the master's generous hand."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of helping a wanderer." Ou Peng waved his hand and said, "It's getting late today. I'm afraid it'll be too late for you to start on your way. If you don't give up, please rest on the mountain for the night."
The words he was about to say were to remind everyone that the conversation was not appropriate and they should leave early tomorrow morning.
Gao Kan knew the taste and didn't say much. He just thanked him and told his men to take care of the carriages and horses so as not to violate the rules on the mountain.
After a while, Ou Peng realized that he was a good person and invited everyone to the Juyi Hall to drink wine, eat meat, and have some fun in the evening.
Just as I was enjoying my meal, there was a hurried call from the village door handle outside.
Ou Peng glanced at the people in Gaokan who were lowering their heads and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Tell me what you have to say?"
"Report to your Majesty, there is a group of people coming from outside. They say they are from Liangshan. The leader calls himself 'Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas', followed by a group of men. They are all extraordinary people." The handler reported quickly.
"Is King Chao really here?" Ou Peng stood up immediately after hearing this, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hurry, hurry, come with me to meet the King of Heaven!"
He got down from the head position and ran straight to the door. After taking two steps, he stopped, turned around and called Gao Kan, "Master Gao, we'll have a drink later when we welcome King Chao Tianwang and his entourage!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Just go on your own." Gao Kan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ou Peng frowned slightly, then turned to Jiang Jing, who had just stood up, and said, "Second brother, you stay here to keep me company. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, please let me pay my respects to the King of Heaven on behalf of my younger brother." Jiang Jing nodded and said.
In this way, Ou Pengcai led Ma Lin and Tao Zongwang to meet King Chao Tianwang.
After the people left, Gao Kan's divine light flashed, he straightened up and said, "Jiang Haohan, I'm waiting for you. If you can't go with us to welcome King Chao Tian, I'll give you a drink as a penalty."
"Young Master Gao has made a serious statement, so I should have kept you company." Jiang Jing said.
Seeing this, Gao Kan suddenly said again: "When I came out from Tokyo, I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was Shandong's timely rain. Song Gongming was involved in a lawsuit in Jiangzhou, and he would be escorted to Caishikou and beheaded soon. All the heroes in the rivers and lakes wanted to do it. He robbed a execution ground to save his brother Gongming. Song Ya Si Zeng Yi went to Chao Tianwang. I think the king of heaven must have rushed to Jiangzhou to save people during this trip."
"It's supposed to be like this, but I don't know if it's as expected." Jiang Jing held back his words and only followed Gaokan's words.
Although he didn't say it, Gao Kan understood it clearly.
After hearing that Song Jiang was in trouble in Jiangzhou, the four people in Huangmenshan also planned to rob the execution ground, but they failed to make the trip.
Later, Chao Gai led the people in Liangshan, together with Li Kui, Hua Rong and others, to make a big fuss in the execution ground and rescued the people. There was also a small gathering of twenty-nine heroes at Bailong Temple, which initially laid the foundation for the future of Liangshan. Bo's lineup of one hundred and eight heroes.
I didn't understand before that Ou Peng suddenly brought so many people down the mountain, but now I heard that Chao Gai was coming, and I remembered it.
However, according to the original account, Chao Gai and others had to wait until they robbed the execution ground and rescued Song Jiang before passing through Huangmen Mountain on their way back and going up to the mountain gate. Song Jiang took the opportunity to invite Ou Peng to go to Liangshan with them.
It seems that his arrival has had a considerable impact on the course of history.
Previously, Yang Zhi sold knives in Tokyo in advance, but now that Chao Gai is here, maybe he should think of a way to remind Chao Tianwang and plant a seed in his heart first.
Moreover, when Chao Gai comes, Ou Peng will probably lead others to follow him to rescue Song Jiang.
The situation is hard to change. This is the time when Song Gongming's prestige is at its peak. If Gao Kanqiang talks about something, he may not make all the heroes fall out on the spot.
Next to him were Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, who were the opponents of Chao Gai and the heroes around him.
Ou Peng didn't care, but Gao Kan wanted to keep Jiang Jing no matter what, so he had to think of other ideas.
Here he was still thinking hard, but over there Ou Peng had already come out of the mountain gate, and after distinguishing whether it was King Chao Tianwang and his party, he happily led the people into the Juyi Hall.
