A few days later, when Song Jiang was reading in his room, Hua Rong's respectful shout came from outside the door, "The grandpa is here."
When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately put down his book, opened the door and walked out. He saw a white-haired old man outside the door walking over on crutches with the support of his maid.
"Father, why are you here?" After seeing it, Song Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to help him personally. It was Song Jiang's father, Song Taigong. As Song Jiang's movements became more and more loud, he had already settled on the mountain.
After seeing this, Song Taigong asked with concern: "I heard that you are going to fight again??"
Song Jiang smiled and said, "It hasn't been officially decided yet."
"Go down!!"
After Song Jiang told the maid, he helped Taigong Song into the room.
"Father, please sit down"
After Song Taigong sat down, he looked worried and said: "I know that since you came to Liangshan, you have been different from before. You have won many battles and become powerful in all directions. Now you have officially become the master of the village, controlling thousands of people. But the more you In this case, we need to be more cautious.”
"You know, I made my father worried."
"Military advisor Xiao Mingmi came to me today and said that you have great ambitions. The eminent monk of Fajue Temple also said that you have the spirit of a dragon and a tiger. When he rises to the top, he will definitely achieve great success," Song Taigong said with a pleased expression.
"This is a military advisor. The eminent monk has given him too much praise."
"Since ancient times, if you want to achieve great things, the most important thing is the inheritance of your heirs. Are you marrying into a wife? Don't worry, this time I will take care of you for my father. I will definitely find you a good match and find someone worthy of Liangshan. "My mistress's daughter" Song Taigong suddenly said seriously.
When Song Jiang heard this, he shook his head and said: "Father, now that brother Chao Gai's blood feud has not been avenged, how can I think about this matter? Father, please rest assured, I will handle it in my own way."
"I'm afraid that you are busy with your affairs and have wasted your time. Although you are now the lord of Liangshan, the marriage of children has been the order of the parents since ancient times. According to the matchmaker, I have already discussed this matter with the military advisor and will arrange for someone to take charge of it. , Now you only need to write a note of approval to your father and allow the responsible person to go down the mountain." Song Taigong was a little arrogant. If it were before, he would not be in a hurry, but now Liangshan's civil and military officials are in front of him, saying that Song Jiang has potential The statue of the dragon, even the eminent monk said so. How could he not care? It was related to the foundation of their Song family. If Song Jiang really made great achievements in the future, his old father would naturally follow what the book said. He was promoted to a high position and spread throughout the ages.
Song Jiang frowned, "Father, is this what the military advisor suggested?"
"Don't blame the military advisor. This is my father's wish. If you don't give it, I will go down the mountain to find it for my father." After Song Taigong said, he was about to get up.
"Father, calm down." Song Jiang smiled bitterly and stopped him, then said, "I'll give it to you, but marriage can't be done by force. I also have one condition!!"
"you say"
"You can send someone out to have a look, but you can't just rush up to the mountain. If you think it's suitable, you will come to your door to propose marriage in person. How about that?"
Song Taigong thought for a while, nodded and said: "My Song family has always abided by etiquette, so it's okay for you to do this."
"Thank you father!!"
"Although you have fallen into disgrace now, you can still be considered to have achieved something. Your brother Song Qing has benefited from your blessing and is also a deputy commander in the village. He is studying hard recently. But your eldest brother and second brother don't know where they are now. , are you doing well?" Song Taigong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, father. The two brothers have their own destiny, so it's okay," Song Jiang comforted.
Speaking of which, he really didn't notice that Song Jiang, Xiaoyi Heisanlang, had two older brothers in his previous life. However, after traveling through time, he inherited his memory and found out that Song Jiang did indeed have two older brothers alive, namely Song Yang and Song Hai. , when they impulsively beat someone to death, and they needed to pay with their lives, Song Jiang and Chao Gai acted in a play, letting the two of them fake death and escape. It took about ten years, so they were gradually forgotten.
. . . .
Half a month later, far south from Liangshan, in the prosperous Jiangnan area, in Yan Village, Qingxi County, Namuzhou, next to a huge lacquer forest garden, in the main hall of a house, two people wearing somewhat tattered clothes were seen. The middle-aged man was held on the ground by several guards. Looking carefully, the two men seemed to have some similarities with Song Jiang. They were none other than Song Jiang's two murderous eldest brothers, Song Yang and second brother Song Hai.
The guard looked at the man sitting on the main seat, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, it was the two of them who killed Manager Li!!"
I saw the man sitting in the main seat with a short beard and a resolute face. He exuded an aura of disdain. After looking at it with calm eyes, he waved and said: "Take him out and hand it over to the government!!"
"Mr. Fang, please forgive me! It was Manager Li who was greedy for the beauty of the villain's wife, so we brothers couldn't help but take action." Song Yang immediately explained anxiously after hearing this.
The man seemed to ignore the other party's crying words and waved his hand again.
"Take away!!" the guard said coldly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I, we are Song Jiang's brothers." Seeing Song Hai in a panic, he suddenly heard the rumors about Song Jiang and said anxiously.
The man's eyes narrowed, and he immediately pressed his right hand and said seriously: "What did you say? Song Jiang!!"
Seeing this scene, the scribe with deep eyes next to him also stood up, "It's the timely rain Songjiang River that occupies eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan, fights in Qingzhou, and makes trouble in Huazhou!!"
"Yes, I, I'm his eldest brother," Song Yang said immediately after hearing this.
"You are so bold. At this time, you actually dare to deceive the master. Now Song Jiang has hundreds of heroes and thousands of troops under his command. Even the court has a headache. Liangshan is thousands of miles away from here. How can his brother be here with us? The family is a long-term worker!!”
"Master, you are aware that we committed a crime back then, and it was Sanlang who found a way to save us, so he fled all the way south!!" Song Yang immediately explained.
The man raised his lips and said, "Interesting, many caravans from our side of Lacong learned that Song Jiang raised the flag of justice to fight for heaven and resist the Song Dynasty. They have been fascinated and wanted to meet him, but they didn't expect his The two brothers actually came to my place, it must be fate!!"
The man was Fang La, who was as famous as Song Jiang in the Water Margin, or even surpassed him. He was also the hero in the previous life who caused heavy losses to Liangshan's 108 generals and caused rivers of blood to flow.
"Although I don't know whether what you said is true or false, I will give you a chance based on the two words "Song Jiang". You should write a letter now and I will send someone to Liangshan. If it is true, I will tell you about the death of Manager Li. Don’t worry about it, you’ll even get a generous reward.”
After hearing this, the two people quickly said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Fang!!"
"Take them down first," Fang La said.
"yes"
"Congratulations, sir, this is a God-given opportunity." At this time, the scribe immediately said excitedly.
"What opportunity is there??" Fang La raised the corner of his mouth.
"With my savings, I could have raised troops long ago to occupy the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River and overthrow the decadent Song Dynasty. However, I was worried that my sharp edge would be exposed and I would be outnumbered, so I have not officially taken action. But if we can really contact Song Jiang, both parties will If the north and south are restrained, the pressure can be greatly reduced."
When Fang La heard this, he looked into the distance and said calmly: "Even so, it still depends on what Song Jiang thinks?"
"So Master, the person sent to Liangshan this time is extremely important. If you want to make people trust you, you must first show your sincerity!!"
Fang La's face hardened and he nodded slightly.
