Ximen Qing expressed his ambitions in his heart, which moved Zhu Gui. He wished that a soldier would die for his confidant and sacrifice his life for Ximen Qing!

Ximen Qing was also very moved to see Zhu Gui so much affectionate and loyalty. He had already recognized Zhu Gui as the eldest brother! After all, a real brother can help you with his life even though he knew that he had killed the nine clans! This is true for Zhu Gui, and so is Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing, a brother recognized by Ximen Qing, will protect him with the same actions!

Ximen Qing stood up and bowed to Zhu Gui with a big bow, his eyes slightly moist, and said, "Brother Zhu, thank you! From now on, you will be my biological brother. If you have anything to do, I, Ximen Qing, will help you even if I die!"

"Okay!" Zhu Gui quickly helped Ximen Qing up, then patted Ximen Qing's arms repeatedly, laughed, and said, "Good brother, it is my lifelong honor to have a good brother like you, haha, come on, drink, let's drink!"

Ximen Qing nodded, then sat down and poured Zhu Gui himself full of wine.

After the two of them drank a cup and drank it in one gulp, Zhu Gui ate the beef with chopsticks, then wiped his lips, and asked, "Emperor Yi, since you have already made plans in your heart, then you can say it! I will do whatever you want!"

"Okay!" Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Brother Zhu, I'm here to beat Wang Lun to make Wang Lun be careful and not let other forces take away Liangshan! Because only in this way, Liangshan is the fat in our mouths. Brother, how good is Liangshan? I don't say you should understand better than me. If we have Liangshan as a backer to support us, then when the troubled times come in the future, can we keep this safe place and do big things? So after I leave, brother, you must always knock Wang Lun to make him pay attention and never let anyone get involved in Liangshan! When the time comes, we will get rid of Wang Lun and put Liangshan in our arms..."

Then Ximen Qing told Zhu Chaofeng and win over Li Ying to Zhu Gui.

As Ximen Qing told the story, Zhu Gui's eyes became brighter and brighter. He slapped the table and laughed very happily, saying, "Emperor Yidi, you are not old, but you are full of scheming! Haha, this strategy is indeed powerful! It is said that those who are in the army attack the plan, and they were a little unbelievable in the past, but now it seems that tsk tsk, it is really terrible. It is really amazing to be able to deceive such people with just one mouth! I really don't know how terrible Zhang Liang is in the legendary Zhuge Liang? Have they all become monsters?"

After saying that, Zhu Guiping recovered his heart and said, "Don't worry, Emperor Yi, I will beat Wang Lun, so that he will always be vigilant and not let him slack off! But Emperor Yi, you have to promise me that if you really want to kill Wang Lun in the future, you must let me do it! That dog thing, I have been angry with him for too long!"

Ximen Qing suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, let's kill me!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After three rounds of wine with Zhu Gui, Ximen Qing bid farewell to him and rode alone to leave Zhu Gui's restaurant.

After galloping all the way, Ximen Qing arrived at a three-way intersection after a short while.

The road to the west is leading to Daming Prefecture. The road to the northeast is back to Yuncheng. The road to the east is leading to Dongchang Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture.

Ximen Qing rode a horse and stopped at the intersection of the three-way road, thinking about where he should go.

Return to Yuncheng?

Although there are Song Jiang and several other good brothers in Yuncheng, as well as two confidantes, Yan Poxi and Zixuan, Ximen Qing did not intend to rush back. Now Zixuan is with Yan Poxi, and the two women can be a companion. With Song Jiang and Song Qing taking care of them, they will definitely not be in danger and will live a comfortable life.

Daming Mansion is not far away, Ximen Qing wanted to go there to meet the legendary Lu Junyi and look for Yan Qing.

When Yan Qing left Qinghe County, he said that he went to Daming Mansion to find his benefactor. The past four years have passed, and I don’t know how he is doing! Ximen Qing was muttering in his heart, so he also wanted to inquire.

After making up his mind, Ximen Qing raised his whip and drove his horse towards Daming Mansion.

After a few days of travel, Ximen Qing finally arrived at the gate of Daming Mansion. Looking at the tall and majestic city wall in front of him, Ximen Qing sincerely praised him.

It is thirty or forty feet high, completely made of gray bricks, which looks extremely majestic. The heavily guarded soldiers on the city tower and the rugged weapons and crossbows all show that the majesty of this ancient city cannot be provoked at will.

The tall and sturdy city walls are locked into a small world, and a city can accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, which is simply a small empire.

As the poem says: "The city is high and dangerous, the trench is vast and the moat is deep. The antlers are mixed in one round, and there are dense rows of forks everywhere. The drum tower is majestic, colorful flags and flags; the road is flat, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds are scattered. The money and food are vast, and the characters are prosperous. The drums and music in the east and west courtyards are noisy, and the goods and wealth are all over the ground. Thousands of powerful generals govern the city, and millions of people live in the country."

Compared with Daming Prefecture, the county towns of Qinghe County and Yuncheng seem very dilapidated and garbage.

"Liang Zhongshu, you old thief, you will find a good place to be a local snake here, it will be awesome..." When Ximen Qing thought of Liang Zhongshu, the dog thief, was in charge of Daming Mansion, he didn't get angry in his chest.

However, after thinking that in less than a month, Chao Gai and others would intercept the birthday gift, Ximen Qing laughed secretly.

Then he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Liang Zhongshu, no wonder you are unlucky this time! He actually listened to Yang Zhi's suggestion and took a detour to escort the birthday gift. Brother Liu happened to know that he wouldn't take your birthday gift? But Yang Zhi was unlucky, he was implicated. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely apologize!"

After saying that, Ximen Qing gently clamped the horse's belly, and then rode his horse slowly towards the city gate.

The city gate was guarded by a small team of soldiers, and people passing by needed strict patrols to prevent any crime or bandits from entering. After Ximen Qing gave a few taels of silver, the soldiers let Ximen Qing in happily and enthusiastically told Ximen Qing to come often.

Ximen Qing spat speechlessly, "You sister!"

When I entered Daming Mansion, I saw that it was bustling with people and extremely prosperous. Daming Mansion was a wealthy place in the Song Dynasty, and the lives of the people were naturally better than those in other places. Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, there were even many large restaurants and flower buildings. In small places like Qinghe County and Yuncheng, there were basically no large restaurants.

Liang Zhongshu was originally the Minister of the Secretariat and the fourth rank official. Because of Cai Jing, the father-in-law, he was transferred to the office of Daming Mansion. He not only became the third rank, but also an important official with real power! Liang Zhongshu's enthusiasm for external transfer was to value Daming Mansion, a wealthy and prosperous place. He could give Cai Jing 100,000 yuan in gold and wealth every year, and you can imagine how rich Liang Zhongshu was and how much money he greedy every year!

But behind the prosperity is filth.

Look at the bustling crowds on the streets of Damingfu, it is actually only a part of them. Those who can go shopping with nothing but noisy are rich rich men, while other ordinary people are hawkers carrying loads and yelling to sell goods.

And these vendors are already good, after all, they still have a living. Look at the beggars lying on the street, they are all dressed in rags, pale faces and skinny skin.

"The road of wine and meat is stinking, and there are frozen bones! Have you ever seen it in your previous life? Today is full of eyes! The path of sad world, lamentable history, and poor people!" Ximen Qing's eyes were a little comfortable, and he felt too much in his heart.

Thinking of his orphan life in his previous life, thinking of the despair of the poor people in front of him, a sudden burst of anger emerged in Ximen Qing's heart. This anger rushed straight into his forehead, making Ximen Qing angry and wanted to kill Liang Zhongshu, slaughter all corrupt officials, and kill Huizong, but the idea of ​​killing him was just reality...

Ximen Qing clenched his fists tightly, and finally had to breathe a breath of turbid air, feeling sad.
