Chapter 217: Blessed Brothers, Jingyang Gangqian
Chai Jin, a direct descendant of the Great Zhou royal family, was carrying the fortune of the Great Zhou. If chaos arises, it will be true.
With the opportunity to restore the old country, how could he not take action? In addition, Chai Jin has lofty ambitions and is not an ordinary person who is willing to be lonely, how could he not raise troops and shake the reputation of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Therefore, when Ximen Qing heard Chai Jin's words, he immediately disbelief and asked back: "Don't Brother Zhaoyi want to regain his ancestors' reputation and restore Dazhou?"
Chai Jin shook his head with a wry smile, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and said, "Restoring the old country? Haha, how easy is it? With my current ability, it is not to mention visiting the Great Zhou, even fighting for Henghai County. Emperor Yi, you can see that I am a person who is unwilling to be lonely, but equally, I am still a smart person. I know that even in troubled times, I will not have the opportunity to restore the Great Zhou. The fortune of the Great Zhou has dissipated, and even if some old ministers still care about the feelings of the Great Zhou, they have no choice. Moreover, although I am not willing to be with the status quo, I do not have great ambitions. I just want to have a stable and stingy life, that would be enough."
After saying that, Chai Jin paused and continued, "If I had ambition, I would have taken action long ago, stationed troops and gathered grain, and waited for a good opportunity.
But I didn't take action, and you also know that Chai Li formed a group of bandits when he wanted to restore the Great Zhou. Not only did I not sponsor him, I also refused sternly. Therefore, Emperor Yi didn't need to worry about me, we would never become enemies, we would only be friends!"
After saying that, Chai Jin had another glass of wine.
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Brother Zhaoyi, come on, I wish you a cup! I am apology for what I just did."
Chai Jin smiled, responded, and said, "Don't say that, Emperor Yi, I guess anyone who faces such a thing will be cautious. That's all the crime of beheading. If it weren't for a real brother, how could he say it casually?"
Ximen Qing said: "From now on, I will treat Daguan Chai as a brother. I wonder if Brother Zhaoyi can appreciate his face?"
Chai Jin was happy and stood up quickly, saying, "Emperor Yi is really willing to become a sworn brother with me?"
Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Of course!"
Chai Jin smiled and said, "Then the relationship is better, so it's better to choose a date than to meet the date. How about becoming a sworn person now? By the way, it's also included Brother Gongming and Erlang, how about it?"
Song Jiang and Wu Song were naturally happy. Then the four of them stood up one after another, came to the center of the hall, and knelt down towards the sky outside the door.
Ximen Qing looked at the three of them, then clasped his fists and swore to the sky, "I, Ximen Qing, and Song Jiang, Chai Jin, and Wu Song, are different brothers today. They do not ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year. If we violate this statement, the world will not tolerate it and we will not die well!"
"I, Song Jiang, swear to the sky
"I, Chai Jin, swear to the sky
"I, Wu Song, swear to the sky
The three of them made oaths one after another, then laughed and patted each other on the shoulders to express their inner joy.
According to age, Song Jiang was the eldest, followed by Chai Jin, then Wu Song, and finally Ximen Qing.
Chai Jin laughed and patted Ximen Qing on the shoulder, saying, "Fourth brother, I will become a sworn brother today. If you really want to fight the world and create a lifetime of fame, if you want to call me, I Chai Jin will definitely help you. I am not good at martial arts, but I still have wealth in my family. It is not a problem to help your army for several years! Although I Chai Jin has no ambition to compete for the world, I like to be a sect's life. It is absolutely refreshing to accompany you to fight, haha!"
Wu Song also laughed and said hurriedly: "Then I will be the general on the battlefield, like Guan Erye, who passed five passes and killed six generals, haha
Song Jiang also laughed and said, "Then I will give advice to my fourth brother and make a decision. Let us four brothers create a glory for a lifetime, haha
Ximen Qing pursed his lips and clenched his head, then stretched out his right fist and said, "Okay, four brothers, create a glory for a lifetime!"
Song Jiang, Chai Jin, and Wu Song also reached out and placed them on the back of Ximen Qing's hand, and then shouted in unison: "Brothers are united, and their strength is to cut off gold!"
The sounds were heard, like thunder exploded.
Looking at Song Jiang, Chai Jin, Wu Song and Ximen Qing with joy, I was also full of excitement. The sudden idea of becoming a sworn brother with Chai Jin was Ximen Qing. I originally thought that I could not only establish a good relationship with Chai Jin, but also verify whether Chai Jin's words just now came from the heart. Now it seems that Ximen Qing does believe that although Chai Jin is not willing to be lonely, he is just unwilling to be dull in life and has no ambition to compete for the world.
Ximen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in this regard. Ximen Qing was not afraid of Chai Jin being ambitious, but it was also a worrying thing to have an extra enemy for no reason. Now that she knew Chai Jin’s thoughts, Ximen Qing could also let go and get to know Chai Jin well.
At the same time, Ximen Qing found how wise it was to propose the idea of becoming a sworn brother! He became a sworn brother with Chai Jin, but he had a great god for his camp. Just as Chai Jin said just now, he was not good at martial arts, but he was rich. Now Ximen Qing does not lack people, but he lacks money. Now he is sworn brother with Chai Jin and is sponsored by him, which is a great thing! With money, will Liangshan develop more rapidly?
Then, the four of them got on the seat and started drinking again. There was no gap at this time, and the relationship was really natural and it was time to be harmonious.
A brothers banquet lasted for more than an hour. Then the four of them went back to rest.
In the following days, Chai Jin warmly welcomed Ximen Qing, Song Jiang and Wu Song, accompanied the three of them to visit some famous mountains and rivers in Henghai County, and walked through some famous scenic spots and historical sites. In a flash, it took more than half a month.
At this time, the weather was getting colder, and it was late autumn. Ximen Qing and Wu Song also had the idea of leaving.
After Chai Jin and Song Jiang learned about it, they were unhappy and tried every means to keep it. However, Ximen Qing and Wu Song had decided to leave, and Song Jiang and Chai Jin could not stop it. In the end, they had to let Ximen Qing and Wu Song leave.
After the four brothers finished their meal, Ximen Qing and Wu Song walked out of the mansion with their horses and packages, while Song Jiang and Chai Jin followed closely.
In front of the mansion, Song Jiang was a little disappointed. Looking at Ximen Qing and Wu Song, he looked sad and said: "I don't know how long it will take to meet the two brothers today. Alas."
Chai Jin nodded, saying, "Yes, third brother, fourth brother, we will meet again today, and we will not know that the year of the Monkey and Horse Month are coming. How many more days do you and the two of you live?"
Ximen Qing said: "Brother, second brother, we have deep brotherhood. Even if we are separated, we will care about each other. Besides, the Chai family is not far from Qinghe County. If Erlang and I want to come, it will only take a few days. Haha, when the eldest brother and second brother Feige pass the letter, we will definitely come quickly. How about it? I have been home for nearly a year, and Erlang has not seen his brother for five years, so I want to go back quickly to relieve the pain of lovesickness!"
Song Jiang nodded, patted Ximen Qing on the shoulder, and said, "The fourth brother is right. It's time to go back and take a look after so long. Then the second brother and I won't keep you. You must be careful along the way. Although it's important to hurry up, you should also pay attention to safety and daily life, and have a full meal. By the way, you must not be greedy for alcohol! You both are people who like to drink. Although you have a good alcohol tolerance, you will also get drunk. Remember what your elder brother said."
Brother Song Jiang said carefully, and when he heard Ximen Qing and Wu Songyili's warmth, he nodded solemnly.
At this time, Chai Jin waved his hand and saw Chai Li handing over two purses.
Chai Jin stuffed the wallet into Ximen Qing and Wu Song's hands and said, "Second brother doesn't have any good things for you, so I'll leave these money to you on the way. Don't work hard for yourself!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song did not postpone, so they put their wallet in the package. Wu Song smiled and said, "Okay, second brother, don't worry. With my fourth brother and I, hum, who can deal with us?"
Chai Jin pointed at Wu Song and smiled, saying, "You are just stubborn!"
"I'm sorry for the verse of Bina Shuo, who is choking and condemning Α
Then, Ximen Qing looked at the sky and said, "Okay, the time is almost over, and it's time for us to leave!"
After saying that, he and Wu Song turned over.
The two sat on the horse, and Chai Li clasped his fists at Song Jiang and Chai Jin, and said, "Two brothers, brother, have said goodbye. See you next day!"
Song Jiang and Chai Jin, Chai Li returned the gift, Song Jiang said, "You are careful all the way. By the way, I may go to Qingzhou with Zhaoyi to see it in a while. If you have time, you can also go there to find us. I can also introduce you to huārong."
Ximen Qing felt aroused in his heart and suddenly thought of Lin Chong. So he said, "By the way, brother, second brother, didn't Lin Chong go to his hometown in Qingzhou to find his wife? I asked him to find the wife and went to Liangshan, but I haven't seen him yet. If you go to Qingzhou, you might as well ask for information about him. If there is any news, I will send someone to me to pass on it!"
Song Jiang said: "Okay, leave this to me!"
"Then I'll bother my brother!" Ximen Qing clasped his fists and then said, "Brother, second brother, brother Chai Li, say goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
"Driving" Ximen Qing and Wu Song then whipped their horses and ran towards Qinghe County.
But Ximen Qing and Wu Song were rushing all the way. When they were hungry, they found a restaurant and had a good meal. When they were tired, they found an inn to rest. The two of them walked slowly. After two or three days, they finally arrived at the boundary of Yanggu County.
The official road was gone, so the two of them walked. After walking for more than half a morning, they arrived in front of a hill.
Wu Song pointed to the hill with dense tall trees growing not far away, and smiled and said, "Fourth brother, after passing this hill, you can go to Yanggu County, haha!"
Looking at Wu Song's happy appearance, Ximen Qing naturally knew the joy in his heart. He would soon see his own brother. For Wu Song, who has been dependent on Wu Dalang since childhood, it was a great joy at first sight.
Ximen Qing nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's find a restaurant to have a drink first, and then go on a rush. I just don't know if there is a restaurant nearby?"
After saying that, Ximen Qing looked up at the hills in the distance, but saw that the hills were undulating, with dense green trees, clouds and mist floating, and apes and birds singing.
Ximen Qing frowned slightly and said, "Erlang, I look at the hills covered with mist, probably in a dangerous place."
Wu Song nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right. The hill is called Jingyanggang, which runs for dozens of miles, full of lush forests and trees. My brother said that there are tigers and wild leopards growing here, which are very dangerous. Ordinary people dare not pass by alone. They need to be accompanied by a headhunter to escort them."
Ximen Qing said: "So, then let's be careful and don't encounter any tigers!" At this point, Ximen raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Song.
The story of Wu Song fighting the tiger has been circulated for a long time. Although Ximen Qing in his previous life had not learned much about Water Margin, he is still familiar with this story. Today, the two came to Jingyanggang together. Ximen Qing secretly guessed that it would be great to meet two big cats when he was on the post. When Wu Song fighting the tiger, he would also make himself feel happy?
Shaking his head, Ximen Qing smiled, and then said to Wu Song again: "Let's go and find where there is a restaurant!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song walked towards the foot. After walking for a quarter of an hour, they saw a restaurant at the entrance of the hill.
"What a smell of wine, hehe, fourth brother, I didn't expect that there was still fine wine hidden in this sparsely populated place. We have to drink a good drink!" Wu Song sniffed, smiled and said.
Ximen Qing was also attracted by the fragrance of wine and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, try it!"
So the two walked away quickly and entered the restaurant. They found a clean seat to sit down. Then they saw the store owner running over with great enthusiasm, hurriedly wiped the table, and smiled and said, "Two guests, should you have a meal or a stay?"
Wu Song smiled and said, "Eat, take out the wine from your store quickly!" After that, he threw it to the store's store for one or five taels of silver.
The store owner's eyes lit up, holding silver in both hands and thanked him repeatedly, and then hurriedly urged his in-laws to serve wine and meat.
Meat is beef, as well as duck, goose, vegetables and vegetables.
The wine is a large white bowl of mellow wine. Unfortunately, the wine was only poured three bowls.
Ximen Qing and Wu Song didn't know what the store intended, but they just thought he poured three bowls at will.
So Ximen Qing and Wu Song took the wine to the evening and drank the wine in the bowl in one breath. They were so shocked that the shopkeeper who was serving him was stunned and stopped.
"Haha, it's true that good wine is good!" Ximen Qing put down the white bowl, looked happy and laughed.
This wine has a mellow and vigorous aroma, without the sour taste of ordinary white wine. You can tell at a glance that it is an aged wine that has been hidden in many years.
Wu Song also had a bright face and smiled and said, "That's right, good wine, come on, fourth brother, let's continue to do it!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one go.
Gulu, Gulu,…
He then raised his head and drank it hard, and then he drank the remaining wine twice.
Wu Song put down the wine bowl, but was still unsatisfied. He pointed at the white bowl and said to the store owner: "Store, what are you waiting for? Why don't you pour the wine quickly? Your wine is really good, we will definitely not lose money to you!"
The store owner laughed and his face was a little unnatural. He said, "My wine is made from a family-borne recipe and it is naturally fragrant. But now the two guests have already drunk three big bowls. I don't think I should drink it anymore. I should eat some beef. My beef tastes good too!"
When Wu Song heard this, he was dissatisfied and slapped the table hard, which made the table jump high, and the meat on the table splashed out. Wu Song said, "Are you still afraid that we will lose money for you? How can you be so long-lasting, like a woman?" The store nodded repeatedly, and then pointed to the wine banner in front of the restaurant, saying, "The two customers, and the signboard of the store, know the villain's intention. My wine is so mellow, and the strength is even more amazing. The two customers are fine now, but after the alcohol comes, two of them will suffer!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song both raised their eyebrows, then looked along the shop's fingers, and suddenly saw five big words written on the wine banner: "Three bowls are not enough!"
Ximen Qing was stunned and said to himself: "Hi, it's really a three-dollar dealer. I want to take a good look at whether I can meet a tiger when I pass the post. Hehe, don't let me down."!
