Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look at this big man, and saw that although this man was poor and dressed in tatters, he still looked like a hero: his face was dark, his beard was rolled back, he was nine feet long, his waist was ten inches wide, and he looked majestic.

The big man also took the opportunity to look at the big tent. There was nothing worth mentioning in the tent. The generals in charge of the troops in the tent were all extraordinary, and there was even one person standing on one side holding a giant axe. He was taller than himself. Much taller.

Just listen to Jiao Ting say: "Sir, the Tai'an temple fair boy has found out clearly, and today I met this hero, his surname is Yan, his double name is Shude, his nickname is Wuzi. I specially invited him to see the senior official."

After hearing this, Yan Shude turned over his tiger body and bowed his head to Zhao Zhen: "Xiao Ke Yan Shude, a native of Kaizhou, has been in poverty for half his life and has few close friends. Today I met the two brothers Jiao Ting and Duan Jingzhu. Don't be humbled by Xiao Ke." , Not only did he waste money for Xiao Ke, but he also sincerely invited Xiao Ke to have a drink and dinner. Xiao Ke has heard of the name of a high official many times, and it is a blessing to meet him today. "

Zhao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Soldier, please get up." Then he turned to Jiao Ting and said, "Why don't you buy some clothes for the strong soldier, brother Yanshun, pick some clean clothes from the team for brother Yan Shude to change into."

Yan Shun complied and turned around to go out.

Jiao Ting said: "Your Excellency, today Duan Jing and I were staying at brothers' hotel for dinner. When we saw a horse in the downtown area, it was frightened and rushed straight into the crowd. Brother Yan Shude stepped forward and punched the galloping horse to death. We two When people saw it, they were quite surprised. Thinking that high officials value heroes, they hurriedly brought Brother Yan Shude to see high officials. "

Lin Chong praised: "Brothers are indeed very powerful. I'm afraid only brother Wang Tianba and the newly arrived four brothers Yubao have such strength in the tent. I wonder what weapons the brothers use?"

Yan Shude sighed: "Xiao Ke learned all the sword skills in his hometown and was good at using a 72-pound machete. A few years ago, he went to Jizhou to do business and lost money. He wanted to go to Qingzhou to join his cousin Qin Ming. We are exhausted and have lost our swords, so we have to beg along the road. Now I only have this strength left. If Brother Jiao Ting does not come to the rescue and lose the horse money, I may not be able to escape easily today. "

Zhao Zhen said: "What brother said, does Qingzhou have control over [Thunderbolt Fire]?"

"Exactly. When we were both in our hometown, there were two iron drums in the village, each weighing more than a thousand kilograms. The two of us tested our strength. He could lift them with both hands, but he couldn't walk. The younger one could hold the two iron drums high and run for more than a hundred pounds. "In terms of strength alone, Xiao Ke is slightly better. It's a pity that things are unpredictable. He is now enjoying a high salary, but Xiao Ke is reduced to begging to survive." Yan Shude sighed.

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, why should we underestimate ourselves? With this strength and the connections of Qin, it will be easy to find a job."

"Ashamed, Xiao Ke looks like this now. I am ashamed to see my cousin. I also heard the reputation of high officials in Shandong and Hebei, but no one recommended me. I met a high official today. Isn't it God's will. If the high official does not give up, the villain will I am willing to defect to the high officials, and one day I will fight against the enemy for them, no matter how hard I die."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said happily: "On this trip to Qingzhou, we first had the four Yubao brothers, and then got Yanshun and merged with the villagers. On the way back, we met the Yan Shude brothers again. Isn't it a blessing? Please sit down with us and have three drinks." It's a pity that I can't have all the fun while I'm out on the march. I'll have a drink with you brothers when I get back to Liangshan County."

Everyone laughed.

Yan Shun came back with empty hands and said to Zhao Zhen with a grimace: "High officials, the team is all ordinary farmers, there have never been such majestic men as the Yan Shude brothers."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It's really my fault. Please borrow one from Brother Wang Tianba temporarily and let Brother Hou Jian do it again later."

Wang Tianba said: "Whatever it's worth, I'll get it right now."

After a while, Wang Tianba brought a piece of clean clothes. Yan Shude took it with thanks and put it on after scrubbing it in the tent nearby.

Zhao Zhen sent people to the city to purchase wine, meat and fruits, and entertained everyone in the camp that night.

At the banquet, everyone talked about Jianghu affairs. When it comes to rising, it is inevitable to compete with each other. When the wine was gone, everyone felt as if they had met each other late.

In the next five or six days, everyone returned to Liangshan County smoothly along the official road.

On the way, Jiao Ting told Zhao Zhen the news he had inquired about. It turns out that although this temple fair only lasted for three days, now that it is less than one day, the temple is already very lively. There are thousands of merchants traveling from north to south, hawkers walking in the streets, and the hero of the world, the benefactor Tan Yue.

This person originally competed in wrestling last year and won a lot of money. After returning to his hometown, he recruited many apprentices. He came here early this year and rented a big inn under the Yingen Bridge, where he taught his apprentices sumo every day. .

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked, "Is this Ren Yuan really as tall as Brother Zhu Wu said?"

Jiao Ting nodded and said: "Compared with the four Yubao brothers, they are even more majestic."

Zhao Zhen sighed: "There are so many good men in the world. Once these villagers are settled, I will tidy them up and come and see them."

Besides, when Zhao Zhen and others returned to Liangshan County, Xiao Rang and a group of officials followed them. The money and grain brought from the village were transferred to the government, and the more than 300 households brought from the village were also registered and settled in various places. Those who had martial arts skills and wanted to stay in the army were all sent to Wanzi City. Including these hundred and ten people, there are still more than 500 vacancies in the two camps of Xueshan Mountain and Haoshan Mountain.

That night, Zhao Zhen held a banquet at Baishi Manor to welcome the newly arrived Yan Shun, Yu Baosi and Yan Shude. Except for Yang Lin, Li San, Bai Sheng, Shi Yong, Du Qian, and Song Wan who were out, as well as Shi Qian who went to Dongping Mansion again, all the heroes from all over the county gathered together.

On the banquet, there were all kinds of vegetables, fruits, fresh fish, tender chicken, stuffed goose, and the best fat beef, which was spread all over the table. Yicheng wine, Huajia liquor, Yimengshan wine, peach wine, apricot wine, and other good wines were passed up like water.

The next day, Zhao Zhen woke up from a hangover. Cheng Wan'er helped him wash and dress. Zhao Zhen forced himself to cheer up, went downstairs and practiced boxing twice, sweating all over, and then he cheered up.

During breakfast, Zhao Zhen asked, "Why didn't you see my mother-in-law?"

Cheng Wan'er said, "A few days ago, County Magistrate Xiao and Shi Qian, the head of the capital, came to see me with a letter from my husband. I read the letter and found that it was indeed to ask my father to help transfer Hua Zhizhai from Qingzhou Prefecture to Jingyang Town. When my mother saw it, she said that she had been here for some time and was worried about my father. It was a good opportunity to go back and talk to him, so she said she wanted to go back. Shi Qian took thirty or fifty people to escort my mother back to Dongping Prefecture."

"My mother-in-law has only been here for a few days, and she is too impatient. The giant clam rosary I planned to give to my mother-in-law is not yet complete." Zhao Zhen said.

Cheng Wan'er heard this and said, "Husband, it won't be too late to send it to my mother on her birthday in a few days."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I'll ask Li Gu from the bone carving workshop to carve a pair of giant clam ruyi, and send them together when the time comes."

Cheng Wan'er heard this and said, "Husband, why don't you ask Li Gu to make a few more and send a pair to the parents of each of you sisters as well."

Zhao Zhen heard this and nodded in agreement.
