Chapter 304 Soldiers approaching the Daming Mansion
"Brother, it's not good!"
Yan Qing, who had originally gone to the prison to deliver food to Lu Junyi, rushed back quickly. As soon as he met Xu Guanzhong, he couldn't wait to say.
This is Xu Guanzhong's ancestral home outside the east gate. It is on the side of the official road that leaves the city. No one lives in it and does not disturb other villages. It is just right for hiding.
Xu Guanzhong was sitting under the willow tree waiting for Yan Qing's news. Seeing Yan Qing's anxiousness, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Xiao Yi, drink a little water, and then talk slowly!"
Yan Qing took a sip of water and told the news he had heard: "Last night, a group of people robbed the prison, obviously heading for my master. Unfortunately, the group was too small and was outnumbered in the end. More than 20 people died on the spot. The first one was Cai Fu and Cai Qing took someone to arrest him. I heard that he was called the Red-haired Ghost Liu Tang. I wonder if his brother knew this person?"
"But I haven't heard of it. It shouldn't be the Liangshan people! It's very likely that it was the leader sent by Erlongshan to pick up the support officer!" Xu Guanzhong thought for a while. He had already left the address to Wang Lun through the carrier pigeon. If Liangshan people came to rescue Lu Junyi, it would be impossible to save people without meeting him.
"These thieves in Erlong Mountain have caused trouble to my master. At this time, they only brought thirty people to pick me up! I really don't know which one of them came up with a vicious plan, and it's so clumsy!" Yan Qing said angrily.
Xu Guanzhong pondered for a moment and said, "I guess they were trying to get rid of Mr. Lu on the way, but it was just a matter of Dong Chao and Xue Ba. Liang Zhongshu was afraid that he was a little surprised and only imprisoned Mr. Lu in prison and never had to be exiled for ten days. These people were probably anxious, so they did the matter of robbing the prison overnight!"
Speaking of this, Xu Guanzhong suddenly called out "Oh no", Yan Qing hurriedly asked him why, and only listened to Xu Guanzhong: "Liang Zhongshu did not kill Lu Yuanwai before, it was not because he was kind-hearted, but because of the fact that the whole story was too far-fetched, he was afraid that the population would be granted. Now there is really someone who robbed the prison. In the eyes of everyone, the crime of Lu Yuanwai's bandits was not confirmed? In this way, Liang Zhongshu has no worries anymore. He is afraid that he will be executed soon!"
When Yan Qing thought about it, this was the reason and said anxiously: "Liang Shijie, I will never give up!"
Xu Guanzhong was also anxious at this time. He didn't know when the reinforcements from Liangshan would arrive. But when he saw his brother's savior, he advised him: "Don't worry, Xiao Yi. You have seen this person, Chief Wang. Since he was willing to ask Yang Lin to come and investigate who framed Mr. Lu in the name of a mountain village, he said that he would not sit idly!"
Yan Qing deeply agreed. In fact, this brother didn't say the most important thing, that is, Wang Lun would not sit idly by for his sake. Yan Qing still remembered that when he first met with Wang Lun at Cuiyunlou last year, this person's appreciation for his brother was beyond words. After saying goodbye, he sent heroes from thousands of miles away to send him no medical skills, which all showed his brother's status in the heart of the leader of Liangshanpo.
Yan Qing’s only idea now is to hope that reinforcements could come sooner, otherwise it would be too late to regret. He turned around and was about to go back to the house, but he was attracted by the scene on the road. After looking for a while, he turned around and wanted to talk to Xu Guanzhong, but the elder brother also looked at the side of the road, thinking about something.
"Xiao Yi, have you noticed that there were suddenly more vendors on the road at this time?" Xu Guanzhong suddenly spoke.
Yan Qing nodded and replied: "Recently, non-New Year and non-Festival, how come so many goods have been sold into the city in just a while?"
Xu Guanzhong smiled and looked back at Yan Qing. Yan Qing understood and saw the two of them walking out of the willow shade, and went thirty or fifty steps forward to the road. Xu Guanzhong stopped a lane: "How do you sell your dates?"
When the five or seven vendors heard this, they all looked at the leader, but saw the man laughing and said, "Six cents a liter. If you want to buy it, take five for one cent!"
"I heard that Tokyo costs seven pennies per cent. Why do you cost five pennies per cent when you come to you?" Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.
Seeing that this man was kind and not like a troublemaker, the date seller smiled and said, "Customer, we are making this hard money. If you want it, six penny!"
Xu Guanzhong smiled and asked while choosing dates, "I heard from my accent, I'm from Shandong?"
The man smiled and said, "From Yanggu, Shandong!"
Xu Guanzhong nodded, bought some dates randomly, and took some copper coins to pay the bill. Before the merchant selling dates left, Xu Guanzhong stopped the merchant who bought pears behind and smiled and said, "How much does this pear cost?"
"The best Sangzhou pear is priced at no 2 price, and it costs five cents per person!" The seller smiled, "I know you want to say that the fragrant pear on the Tokyo market is only sold for three cents, but my two-legged car is not easy to deal with, so the customer is still considerate and considerate!"
Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing laughed and said, "Okay, don't bargain, I'll pick a few good ones!"
"Good!" The man who sold pears went to pick pears. Xu Guanzhong looked at his friend and smiled, "It's Xiangzhou pears, but they heard from the accents of them, but they seemed to be from Shandong?"
"I came from Zhangqiu, Shandong. I am a lobbyist. I am not from Xiangzhou. I can only sell Xiangzhou pears!" the mate asked back.
Xu Guanzhong laughed and apologized, "You can sell it, you can sell it!" At this time, the man who was in charge picked a few pear bags and handed it over. Xu Guanzhong hurriedly calculated the money with him. The man looked at Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing meaningfully, and suddenly stretched out his waist and said, "I'm tired of walking, so let's take a rest!"
Seeing this, Xu Guanzhong winked at Yan Qing. The two of them stopped stopping, but walked down the road. Seeing that they were far away, Yan Qing said, "These people are probably all the way!"
Xu Guanzhong nodded and frowned and said, "Come to my Daming Mansion in Xiangzhou, enter by land via the west gate, and enter by water via the south gate. There is no reason to go to the east gate..."
"These people are alert and don't allow you and I to investigate calmly anymore. I don't know which god it is?" Yan Qing shook his head and saw these two people walking while talking. At this time, they were almost at the old house. Yan Qing, who was walking behind, suddenly flashed and shouted, "Who is it!"
I saw a long man snatching him and trying to subdue the two of them. Who is Yan Qing? He learned to be good at fists and feet in his body since childhood. He had never met his opponent with his bare hands and fists. At this time, he felt a little excited when he saw that this person had good physical skills. He temporarily threw away all the troubles in his heart and fought with others wholeheartedly.
The long man approached Yan Qing and punched him. Yan Qing was an expert. He saw that the punch was strong and did not take it hard. He quickly dodged, and the man did it again in one go, pushing him in succession. Yan Qing sometimes dodged, and sometimes took him several punches. He thought that this man's boxing technique was great, and he was afraid that his legs were not as good as his legs. He looked for the empty space to turn the defense into an attack, and made several kicks. He didn't expect that this Han boxing technique was great, and his legs were even more expert. Yan Qing's combo was resolved in an instant.
Yan Qing couldn't help but feel shocked, thinking that this time he had encountered a tough problem! He was just careful to guard the door and looked for an opportunity to defeat the enemy with one move, but the Changhan became more and more brave and braver as he fought, pushing Yan Qing one after another, and looked at Xu Guanzhong on the side, which surprised him. He had never seen Yan Qing force him to such a point.
Seeing that Yan Qing was forced to the corner of the wall, he was not discouraged at all. At this time, the man kicked him with one leg. Yan Qing was overjoyed. The opportunity he was looking for was not in front of him? He bent his legs and carried his shoulders towards the other party's thighs. He reached out to grab the man and was about to lift him up. However, the man was very alert. He used the left leg that was carried by Yan Qing as a support, and suddenly leveraged the force and lifted his right leg over. Yan Qing was shocked and hurriedly threw the man up and avoided the kick. The man swung in the air and landed steadily on the ground.
The two looked at each other without making any moves. Suddenly, they said at the same time, "Porcelain Pigeon!", "Mandarin duck legs?"
"Are you the one who is known as Yan Qing, a prodigal son in the world?" the old man stared at Yan Qing and asked.
Yan Qing did not answer, but said, "I used to fight with a hero. When I saw him use his legs, I asked him who he learned from. He said a name. At that time, this person had no reputation, and I had never heard of it. I didn't expect that this person would kill a big insect in the future on Jingyanggang with bare hands, making it famous all over the world! I think it's yourselves!"
The Changhan nodded and said, "I am Wu Song. I just have to come and visit me for insurance because of my two people!"
Xu Guanzhong was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Ke Xu Guanzhong, this is the prodigal son Yan Qing. I dare to ask Wudu Head, where is the leader of the king now?" Wu Song is a famous person in the world, and the news of his fall in love naturally cannot be kept secret.
Wu Song saw Yan Qing's skills, but he still doubted the identities of these two people. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that it is Junshi Xu and Yan Xiaoyi! He is really destined to ask me to meet two of them here!"
When Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing were stunned when they saw this, Wu Song smiled loudly and explained: "Mr. Xu didn't know that his brother led the army to meet Yang Lin brothers, Lingtang, and Doctor Ma's family on the road! He immediately respected his brother as his military advisor in front of everyone!"
Xu Guanzhong said "Shame" when he heard this. Yan Qing was worried about his master's safety and asked Wu Song: "Wu Du is here, is he going to enter the city to rob the prison?"
Wu Song smiled and thought to himself that this person is also a hero, so there is no need to hide it from him. He said bluntly: "At this time, my tens of thousands of troops from Liangshan are coming. If I just want to rob a prison, I will not pull out a sword when I encounter a mosquito? Brother Yan Qing, it is true that I will bring a group of brothers this time to sneak into the city and wait for an opportunity to seize the door!"
Yan Qing nodded with emotion, his heart was overturned. He originally thought that Liangshan had sent hundreds of people to rob the prison, but he didn't expect that tens of thousands of people would come this time, which was dozens of times higher than his expectations. He was filled with a hint of emotion in his excitement. After all, the left-behind of Daming Mansion was not an ordinary official, but a son-in-law of Cai Jing of the current dynasty. There was no difference between offending him and offending Cai Jing, but Wang Lun was still here. This is kindness and courage.
No wonder my brother who would rather die of death in the mountains than help him.
Xu Guanzhong sighed and said, "I dare to ask Wudu Head, where is the leader of the king at this time?"
"Because I have to leave time to let my brother sneak into the city, the army has not approached too much. At this time, it is 50 or 70 miles southeast! I guess I can reach Feihu Valley tonight. If there is no obstacle, the troops will be at the city tomorrow!" Since Wang Lun has already become Xu Guanzhong as his military advisor, Wu Song did not treat him as an outsider and immediately informed him of the combat plan.
