Chapter 29 Chrysostom
After taking down Daming Mansion, Chen Mang stayed Zhao Gou and Guan Sheng, implemented land reform in the local area, and brought Lu Junyi and Yan Qing back on the road.
As a big landlord, Lu Junyi lost his property. His wife colluded with the housekeeper and eloped. Chen Mang was arrested and punished them for three years for stealing public property.
After this incident, Lu Junyi realized the importance of property and status for the first time, so he joined Chen Mang's uprising army, hoping to make some military achievements and make a comeback.
The group flowed up the north of the Yellow River, walked for two days to reach Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing, Liao Kingdom.
After arriving in Yanjing, Chen Mang presented the heads of the leaders of Zengtou City, and was immediately warmly entertained by the civil servants of the Liao Kingdom.
Wu Yan Guang, who was responsible for guarding Yanjing, was the number one general of the Liao Kingdom and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom.
Wu Yanguang regarded the Liangshan army as a thief, and even Zhengyan did not take Chen Mang and others, so he sent his subordinate He Chongbao to accompany Chen Mang.
He Chongbao is the deputy commander of the Liao Kingdom. He has been learning art from the mountains with experts since childhood. After learning it, he joined the Liao Kingdom. With his magic and martial arts, he has been from the bottom to the high position. His attitude towards Chen Mang is much better than that of Wuyanguang.
After two days of getting along, Chen Mang was already familiar with He Chongbao. When he went out of the city to hunt, he tried his words.
"Brother He Dao, my brothers from Liangshan have been here for two or three days. When will I go to Beijing to meet Tianyan? I am not in a hurry, but my brothers are a little impatient."
He Chongbao shot an arrow in the air, took back the arrow, and said to Chen Mang: "Master Chen, don't be anxious, don't be afraid to tell you the truth, because Agu created a rebellion, the emperor was furious and led his army to Yanjing in person. He would soon lead a large army to Yanjing."
When Chen Mang heard this, he looked relieved and said, "It's great. At that time, I'll have a few good words for me, Brother Dao said to me."
He Chongbao laughed and stroked his beard and said, "Master Chen is too humble. You have a hundred times better than me. You have killed the Jin people and made great contributions. The emperor will definitely give you a generous gift!"
Chen Mang nodded and got off the horse, asked someone to put on a blanket, took out the food he had prepared in advance, sat on the ground and started lunch.
He Chongbao picked up the chopsticks and ate the dishes that Chen Mang cooked with relish. After picking up two chopsticks of minced meat vermicelli, He Chongbao suddenly frowned slightly, flirted in the dish for a long time, and asked, "Master Chen, have you forgotten to put minced meat in the vermicelli today?"
Chen Mang glanced at the dish and a terrified expression suddenly appeared on his face: "This dish seems to be left over from last night. Who accidentally put it in it?"
He Chongbao's expression froze and said depressedly: "Why do I say it's a little sour..."
Chen Mangqiang smiled and said, "Is it sour? Maybe it was because I took it to feed the dog later..."
"vomit!"
He Chongbao spit out in one mouthful, lying on the ground and rolling in his stomach.
Chen Mang hurriedly said, "Brother He Dao, don't panic, let me give you two injections, and two injections will be cured!"
He Chongbao felt a slight numbness on his back and on the top of his head, and then stopped vomiting and felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach.
When he looked up at Chen Mang, he saw Chen Mang's apologetic look on his face and said in an angry tone: "The brothers I brought from Liangshan are all careless sticks. When I go back, I will deal with them well and vent my anger for Brother He Dao!"
He Chongbao waved his hand helplessly: "Lord Chen Village does not need to get angry. I am not seriously injured. I forgot to give some servants to the heroes of Liangshan."
After this trouble, He Chongbao had no appetite at all. Just as he was about to pack up his things and go back to the post station, a fast horse suddenly rushed over and shouted from afar: "Deputy Army, Your Majesty announces an order to order the Liangshan Village Lord Chen Mang to meet him!"
He Chongbao heard this and smiled and bowed to Chen Mang, "Zhouzhu Chen, as soon as His Majesty came to Yanjing, he would see you. It shows that he values the heroes of Liangshan very much. Congratulations!"
"If you can be valued by Your Majesty, Chen will follow the leader of his brother Dao in the future."
Chen Mang bowed and smiled, followed He Chongbao to the palace in Yanjing.
When he entered the hall, Emperor Tianzuo sat upright on the dragon throne and wore a Hu suit. He didn't look like an emperor, but like a hunter. Although he was in his forties and was considered old in this era, he looked very energetic.
When Emperor Tianzuo saw Chen Mang, his eyes lit up and looked at him curiously: "Are you the bandit leader Chen Mang in Liangshan River? I sang and danced to peace in the Great Liao Dynasty, and the bandits and bandits were destroyed. If you want to find a bandit, you will finally see it alive today! Come over and let me take a closer look!"
Chen Mang twitched slightly, and he looked at the foolish monarch in front of him, and complained in his heart.
But after thinking about it carefully, there were no bandits in the Liao Kingdom, but they all rebelled directly... Emperor Tianzuo's words were really fine!
Chen Mang laughed and walked up and said, "I heard that Your Majesty likes hunting, the grass people specially collected an ancient divine bow to offer it to Your Majesty."
When Emperor Tianzuo heard Chen Mang bringing a treasure bow, he immediately said happily: "Take it up quickly and give it a look for me!"
Chen Mang turned around and explained to the guards beside him. Soon, Li Guang and Huarong went to the hall with a simple strong bow on his back. His toned figure and evil spirits were like a heavenly soldier coming to the world, making people unable to help but praise him when they saw him.
Emperor Tianzuo looked at Rong with satisfaction and said, "Liangshan is a talented man, any person is a talented person. Come on and show me the bow."
Wu Yanguang stepped forward and took the bow from Hua Rong's hand and held it in front of Emperor Tianzuo with both hands.
Emperor Tianzuo took it, his hands sank slightly, and exclaimed: "Good bow, does this bow have a name?"
Chen Mang smiled and said, "This bow is called Qiankun Bow. It is a divine bow that Huangdi used when he fought against Chiyou. There are three divine arrows that match this divine bow. Because he wanted to meet His Majesty, Hua Rong did not take it to the hall."
Emperor Tianzuo said with a red face: "The Qiankun Bow, the Shocking Arrow, this is a divine object given to God!"
"Your Majesty is favored by heaven and given a divine object. This is God bless my Great Liao!"
"God blesses the Great Liao!"
The flattery of civil and military officials made Emperor Tianzuo feel very good, and then ordered his car to move out of the palace, wanting to try the power of this divine bow.
Soon, Emperor Tianzuo led the Chinese civil and military ministers of the court to the garden outside the palace. Chen Mang also came to Emperor Tianzuo with three arrows of shock and laughed: "Your Majesty, this is the arrow of shock and the sky."
Emperor Tianzuo excitedly slashed an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and shouted: "Open!"
With a squeak, the Qiankun Bow was pulled like a full moon, and everyone cheered in unison.
He heard a buzzing bowstring, and the arrow shook the sky turned into a stream of light and disappeared straight into the forest. Everyone saw that they disappeared!
Emperor Tianzuo said with a shocked look: "It's really a magical object, and its power is really unimaginable! Once this arrow is shot, it will not be found again, right?"
Chen Mang curled his lips and explained: "The Sky-Sheng Arrow is a magic arrow. Once the bow is drawn, he will never look back until he hits the evil spirit. However, if he hits the evil spirit, he will return immediately. Therefore, your Majesty does not have to worry about the loss of the magic arrow."
"The magical arrow is spiritual!"
When Emperor Tianzuo heard this, he immediately became surprised and said with a smile on his face: "Chen Mang, you offer this treasure very much to me. What kind of reward you want, even if you say that, I agree to you!"
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Tianzuo suddenly felt a pain in his chest. The next moment, a stream of light came out from his chest and pierced obliquely to the ground. It was the sky-shaking arrow that had just disappeared!
Amid the frightened expressions of everyone, Emperor Tianzuo fell from the horse's back. Wu Yanguang looked at Emperor Tianzuo and then looked at Chen Mang. He immediately pulled out the sword from his waist as if he was furious: "What a thief, how dare you assassinate Your Majesty!"
Chen Mang glared at his eyes and said, "It is obvious that His Majesty failed to catch the arrow that shocked the sky. What does it have to do with me! Your Majesty has promised me to respond to all requests. Everyone has heard of it. What is the need for me to assassinate Your Majesty!"
Chen Mang took the side of Emperor Tianzuo in one step and said, "Your Majesty, before you die, I will quickly seek an official position. I want to be the Grand Marshal of the Liao Kingdom. If Your Majesty disagrees, he will stand up and run for ten kilometers, take a hundred push-ups, and then fly to the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun. If Your Majesty agrees, just die!"
Emperor Tianzuo stared at Chen Mang, then kicked his legs and angrily.
