I!The start was poor, forcing the system to upgrade

The first thing to say is that the geography of the Song Dynasty and the location of some towns in the original "Water Margin" are different from the ancient maps collected in reality and the modern Chinese city maps found on the Internet, and there are more or less slight differences. But it doesn't affect reading.

For example, Jizhou, the hometown of Gongsun Sheng in Yunlong, is divided according to the actual territory of the Song Dynasty, and should belong to the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom.

However, in the original work of "Water Margin", when Dai Zong went to Jizhou to find Gongsun Sheng, the description of the local area, whether it is the local customs, or officials of all sizes, was all the territory of the Song Dynasty.

There are so many places that are different from the actual geography or far away from each other that they cannot be counted on one hand.

But it's all fiction anyway, so don't worry about these details, just treat the Song Dynasty in "Water Margin" as a parallel world of the Song Dynasty in real history!

After all, the conditions in ancient times were limited. When Shi Naian wrote "Water Margin", it was impossible to find an accurate map of the territory of the Song Dynasty to compare and write.

Moreover, it is unrealistic, because before the Republic of China, let alone a national map, even a map of a province was classified as a military secret, and one would be beheaded for private possession or dissemination of trade.

So it is understandable that there are several fallacious geographic distributions.

Probably when Shi Naian started writing, he only conceived with the basic and general knowledge of geography.

Therefore, this article will not completely follow the geographical orientation in the original work in some important places.

......

Let's say that it is about [-] miles from Qingzhou to Jeju, passing through Dongping Mansion.

And the most famous "scenic spot" (the place where the accident happened) in Dongping Prefecture is the most talked about and well-known in the original work of "Water Margin", so that it has been popular for more than a thousand years and is almost world-famous. The place where the tragedy of the century happened - Yanggu County.

In the original book, Wu Dalang was killed by the adulterer Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in this place.

Of course, at this time, Pan Jinlian in this world was still in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion in Qinghe County, and was raised by Zhao Tianyin like a canary. She would never have any relationship with Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing in this life.

Wu Dalang is naturally still in Qinghe County, more than 200 miles away.

It is at this place that Wu Song in the original book opened the chapter of his tragic fate, and it is also from this place that he gradually walked into the abyss of loneliness where he lost his arms and survived.

Of course, the current Wu Song is no longer the Wu Song in the original book, this place will not appear in his life trajectory, and he will not have any intersection with this place in this life.

This day, at noon.

Zhao Tianyin and others had a total of 67 riders, and a cloud of dust was raised, and they rode their horses to the outside of Yanggu County.

Pedestrians on the road looked sideways and hurriedly let the city gate open.

Zhao Tianyin didn't intend to get off the horse, and directly led Murong Lingluo into the city on horseback, saying: "It's just time for lunch, and I'm tired of eating dry food, today my son will invite you all to have a big meal in the city!"

After all, he rode his horse into the city first.

Voices came from behind, one after another, endlessly.

"Young Master Gao Yi!"

"Young Master is generous!"

"Young master extravagant cover!"

All the guards cheered, their faces filled with exaggerated expressions as if they could smell roasted chicken, roasted duck, braised pork elbow and beef in sauce, and some of them even drooled.

"Long live son!"

Everyone looked at the guard who called out these four words in unison.

This is a young man in his 20s with a simple and honest face.

The young man scratched his head and said, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something wrong? I don't think there is anything wrong!"

The rest of the people thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, so they also shouted, "Long live son!"

The people nearby immediately dodged away like a god of plague.

They basically didn't pass through the city these days, and almost all purchased food at the cottage inn, and the taste was really not good.

And a city of the size of Yanggu County, although not particularly prosperous, is full of people and traffic, and it is next to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. In a converging place, the dishes in restaurants are definitely not bad.

No need to ask, just walk to the tallest building in the city.

Although the Lion Tower is located under the Lion Bridge, the whole building is more than half higher than the bridge.

The Lion Tower is not only the most famous restaurant and inn in Yanggu County, but also the tallest building.

Zhao Tianyin galloped unscrupulously through the busy city, the 66 guards with knives didn't dare to be as ruthless as he was, and they all led their horses into the city honestly.

But even though they showed the appearance of law-abiding and good citizens, the unified standard leather armor and the ring-shouldered sword around their waists all showed a sense of oppression with sharpness and sternness.

Wherever they pass, pedestrians on the street suddenly seem to encounter a group of tigers, lest they avoid them.

Zhao Tianyin was still wearing that fox face mask, he put one arm around Murong Lingluo's soft and slender willow waist, and the other hand controlled the bridle, and he rode his horse directly into the gate of the Lion Tower.

Murong Lingluo lay on Zhao Tianyin's chest, as if he fell asleep exhausted.

On the first floor of the building, there were dozens of guests dining at this time, and they were all stunned and stunned. They all looked at him with eyes that had never seen such a wild person, even holding their chopsticks. The dishes fell on the ground without even realizing it.

Even Xiao Er, who was used to seeing all kinds of people, was stunned for a moment. Even though he was very experienced in dealing with things, he stood there at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it.

After a brief silence.

A middle-aged shopkeeper with a sleek face and shrewd eyes came out of the counter in a hurry, bowed forward, and greeted him with a smile: "Excuse me, sir, do you want to be a top-notch or stay in the store?"

Zhao Tianyin looked down condescendingly and said, "I've taken over this whole building. Please invite all the guests out immediately and compensate me for it."

"Young master, is your request too overbearing? Visitors are customers. Since the opening of our restaurant, there has never been a precedent for actively driving away customers. Please forgive me for not being able to do so. You should go to another place to eat .”

The middle-aged shopkeeper was still smiling, and even issued the order to evict customers in a kind tone, which seemed to be very cultivated.

"Did I say rush? Don't misinterpret me."

Zhao Tianyin was neither sullen nor angry, and said with a light smile, "Since you don't want to, then I will use my own method."

As he spoke, Zhao Tianyin reached into his bosom, and took out twelve taels of gold from the interspatial ring.

Then, just when everyone's eyes were bright, Zhao Tianyin unexpectedly threw the ingot of gold outside the door with a gentle toss.

People can't see why.

Zhao Tianyin said with a light smile, "Whoever finds it belongs to him."

The voice just fell.

But seeing people rushing out like a tide, the first floor of the entire Lion Building was instantly empty, and even the middle-aged shopkeeper ran out to grab the gold.

All of a sudden, there was a mess outside the Lion House.

Zhao Tianyin directly left Xiaobai in the Lion Tower, floated up with Murong Lingluo in his arms, and went straight to the second floor.

When I went up to the second floor, I saw a bartender and a servant leaning on the free tables and chairs to take a nap.

Zhao Tianyin coughed lightly, and the two guys woke up immediately.

"Oh! Is there anything the guest officer needs?" The servant rubbed his eyes sleepily before he greeted Zhao Tianyin with a yawn.

"Do you need to ask? Didn't you see this young man hugging a sleeping girl? Hurry up and open an upper room."

The rather clever bartender couldn't help but give the boy a blank look, and while making complaints, he also slandered in his heart: Is it just this sharp eyesight?I don't know what kind of relationship is entrusted to be recruited by the shopkeeper to work as a servant in the Lion House.

The Lion Tower can be said to be the most luxurious restaurant in Yanggu County, just like the modern four- and five-star hotels. Those who can enter here to work as waiters naturally need to be assessed step by step, not just casually serving tea and pouring water will be hired.

Hearing this, the servant hurriedly took Zhao Tianyin to the third floor to open a Tianzihao upper room.

The bartender was wondering why it suddenly became very quiet down there?But the street seems to be more lively!It seemed like a group of people were fighting, and words like "Mine!", "Don't grab me!" and so on kept coming.

At this time, the 66 guards with knives also led their horses to the Lion Tower one after another.

Seeing that, everyone looked at each other and smiled. Don't think about it, this must be another master's masterpiece.

Sixty-six guards with knives quickly tied the horses under the Lion Bridge, and then ran into the building skillfully and swiftly, occupying all the tables, chairs and benches, and the seats were full.

"Hahahaha! I got it! The gold is mine now! No one can take it away! I, Zhang San, will get rich!"

A burly man whose clothes and trousers were torn into rags, covered in scratches and bite marks, and with red eyes suddenly bumped away a group of people who wanted to intercept him, and then he was so excited that he looked like a madman. ran away.

Some people still didn't give up, they still quietly followed and chased after him.

Most have given up on the gold scramble.

When the shopkeeper, waiter, and original customers of the Lion House returned to the hall in disgrace, they found that their seats had been taken by a group of burly men like wolves and tigers.

Moreover, they wore uniform leather armor and all carried waist knives, so they were not easy to mess with at first glance.

How dare you go up and make a theory?

Those customers had no choice but to pinch their noses to admit their cowardice, turned their heads and left.

The shopkeeper and the shop waiter looked at this posture, only to realize that the masked boy who rode a white horse into the lobby before, what he said was not discussing with him, but a disguised threat and notification, and the other party had more than 60 people with him. The knife guard followed, presumably the background was extremely terrifying.

Only at this time did the shopkeeper realize that he seemed to have offended a mysterious and prominent son of a family that he could never afford to offend, and even the backers behind him had to be careful.

The shopkeeper and the waiter in the shop were dripping with cold sweat, feeling apprehensive and apprehensive.

Huh?Where is his horse?

Did you ride upstairs?

The shopkeeper looked around the hall, and while he was wondering, he suddenly heard the sound of ping-pong-pong, ding-ping-clang from the back kitchen.

Several cooks and chefs ran out screaming, and shouted:

"Shopkeeper, why did such a big horse slip in? I was so shocked that I almost lost my grip on the kitchen knife!"

"I'm afraid the vegetables and fruits in the back kitchen will be eaten by that horse."

"Not only that! When I ran out, I looked back and saw that the horse was eating rice with its head buried in the cauldron!"

These cooks and cooks were discussing in a hurry.

Mu Changkong, the leader of the guards among the 66 people, immediately stood up, slammed the table with his scabbard, and then scolded: "Don't be so long-winded! The young man is hungry, hurry up and serve all the best wine and meat! After eating When paying the bill, how much you lost and how much you should give, our young master will definitely pay you a lot of money."

Mu Changkong is a burly young man with bronze skin. From his handsome face, he can be seen to be of Xianbei blood. Because he has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and practiced martial arts riding and shooting, his originally fair complexion has become Muscles that look like copper, and muscles that look like iron are full of explosive power!

He is a descendant of a distant cousin of Murong Yanda, and he is in the leading position in this guard with swords.

The Murong family name can be said to be an offshoot of the Xianbei Murong clan.

Although the blood relationship between the two is already very weak, they are related after all.

Murong Yanda knows that the family or kinship is the most reliable interpersonal relationship, so the personal guards around him have always been managed by his own family members who he can trust and who are quite capable.

"Hungry us, believe it or not, demolish your restaurant!" A guard next to him also echoed.

The other 64 people also stared at the shopkeeper, as if they were about to draw their swords.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his liver trembled, trembling, he hurriedly and carefully apologized, and hurriedly urged the chef and the cook to prepare the food, and the waiter in the shop quickly brought up all the good wine.

A fat chef who threw his spoon was also afraid and said fearfully: "Their horse is still in the back kitchen, how dare we go in and cook?"

After Mu Changkong drank a bowl of clear and mellow wine, he moistened his throat and said, "Don't worry! Our son's horse is a dragon colt, very intelligent, as long as you don't tease it intentionally, it won't hoof. Yours. We are responsible for the injury. Of course, the premise is that you don’t want to be cheap. Especially the horse’s buttocks, don’t try to touch it. It may kick your hoof away if you get close to the horse’s buttocks. Because it is a female Horses, other than our young master, no other males can touch them."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

All the guards laughed heartily, as if a funny memory had been brought back to them.

Only a few of them not only didn't smile, but even looked embarrassed, as if the word social death was written all over their expressions, as if they were the ones who had exposed the embarrassment and were the target of ridicule.

Just when everyone was yelling wantonly with hippie smiles.

"Whoever is noisy, go out and stand on the street laughing for an hour before eating!"

Following the sound of footsteps on the stairs, Zhao Tianyin's calm and breath-taking voice also shrouded down like a brilliant sky.

Everyone was silent like a cicada, and all sat upright.

The hall was instantly quiet.
