Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

After seeing the ceremony, Song Gongming said: "When I was in Yuncheng County, I heard brother Chao Gai mention the scholar brothers many times, and I didn't want to meet here."

Wu Yong said: "Although we live very close to each other, we rarely meet each other without a chance. I have only heard of Song Yasi's name, but I have never met him as a junior. I often heard brother Chao Gai talk about the benefits of Yasi. When passing by Dulonggang, brother Chao Gai hurriedly wrote a letter Here's the letter." As he spoke, Wu Yong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang took the letter and saw that it was not sealed, so he took it out and read it. The letter expressed concern about Song Jiang's Luocao, and also revealed that he could not do anything about it, but could introduce Zhao Zhen on his behalf.

After Song Jiang looked at it, he asked, "How is brother Chao Gai doing now?"

"Brother Chao Gai has won the trust of high officials. Now he is stationed in Dulonggang. He also has five or seven heroes and three to two thousand sergeants under his command." Wu Yong replied.

After hearing this, Song Jiang smiled and said: "Brother Chao Gai has made a fortune, I am very happy and congratulated."

"I heard from Brother Li Zhong that the scholar has brought the agreed upon armor and weapons. Why not go and take a look first?"

Wu Yong nodded and led a group of heroes to look outside. They saw the plain knife, the spear head, the leather armor, and the iron armor one by one. Song Jiang asked: "Study, please give me a price."

Wu Yongdao: "The simple sword and the spear head are forged repeatedly by the blacksmith. A fine sword and spear can be made after thirty years of refinement. The simple sword costs one tael of silver and the spear head 500 Wen. The leather and armor are all confiscated. They cost ten pieces each. I brought them separately." Thirty pieces of iron armor and thirty pieces of armor. If you want this armor in the future, the number will not be so large. After all, it is not easy to make armor, and there are still many sergeants in Liangshan County who cannot wear armor."

As soon as he finished speaking, [Ghost Sees Sorrow] Lai Yong'er screamed strangely: "The armor you sold is too expensive. These leather armors are all replacements. How dare you ask for ten guan of money?"

Wu Yong sighed and said: "Brother, I don't know, making armor is not as complicated as making swords. The reason why we can even out this batch of armors is because we have to rely on the chief of staff and the two brothers Li Zhong and Zhou Tong to recommend us. Otherwise, why should we take the risk?" Is this the risk?”

Lai Yong'er said: "A new pair of armor is only ten pieces of armor. What you brought is all old armor, and many of them have signs of repair."

[Optimus Prime] Ren Yuan also shouted: "What I'm saying is that many of the Imperial Guards also sell them privately."

Lai Yong'er said: "These tattered leather armors, plus these swords and guns, 6900 are too much."

The two yelled for a while, and then Song Jiang said: "It's always a help in times of need. Although it's more expensive, it's because Zhao Daguan cares about the morality of the world."

Lai Yong'er said: "Brother Gongming, these gold and silver fortresses can naturally be produced, but now we are fighting with the government and the army. The brothers cannot be short of rewards. How about replacing them with others? I heard that Zhao Daguan is very rich, and he is not short of these golds." silver."

[Optimus Prime] Ren Yuan also said: "Taishan struggled, and Zhao Daguan also robbed me of my profit. It is better to use these armored battles to offset it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two heroes beside him were annoyed, and they heard a loud shout: "What the hell did you fart? You are not good at your own skills, how dare you accuse the high officials of robbing you of your benefits? It was your apprentice who dragged the mountain down." "I've robbed you of something, and I don't ask you for any profit. How dare you turn the tables on me? If you know what's going on, I'll spare you if you pay me three thousand taels!" Liu Tang shouted.

[Optimus Prime] After hearing this, Ren Yuan pointed the stick in his hand at Liu Tang and shouted: "You liar who ruined your family and ruined your family, I must not have taken the sharp things on the mountain shed. Today I will see you win or lose, I won, Just wait and roll down the mountain empty-handed."

After Song Jiang and Wu Yong heard this, they quickly separated and comforted each other.

This quarrel was actually the result of Lai Yong'er's plan after listening to Ren Yuan scolding Zhao Zhen last night, to find out what a good man in Liangshan County was like. As the most sinister and cunning leader in Qingzhen Mountain, seeing the situation in Qingzhou, he moved closer to Song Jiang early on and now he has gained Song Jiang's trust.

Song Jiang had no intention of causing trouble, but after hearing this and deliberation, the conflict arose.

Although they were separated, Ren Yuan and Liu Tang still continued to yell and curse. Lai Yong'er said to Wu Yong: "Brother Wu Yong, this is not a problem. Why not let the two of you fight, which can be regarded as making friends through martial arts. "

Wu Yong declined: "This..."

Li Zhong and Zhou Tong also said: "Swords and guns have no eyes, so I'm afraid there will be damage."

Lai Yong'er said: "We are waiting for men to fight in the rivers and lakes, so why should we fear life and death? Now that the two families are in contact, they need to untie their knots before they can truly accept them. Although the village has been using troops for days and is short of gold and silver, fortunately there are iron mines in the mountains. After many years of business and smelting many iron ingots, the two brothers had a fight. If Brother Liu Tang won, the price of the iron would be 10 cents per catty. But if brother Ren Yuan won, the price of the iron would be 30 cents. How about a pound?”

Wu Yong pretended to hesitate and thought to himself: I have fallen into my trap.

Liu Tang heard this and shouted: "Come, come, I'm afraid you won't make it."

[Jin Scaled Python] Ma Yuandao: "Just one competition is too childish. Why don't I and brother Shi Xiu also compete?"

Shi Xiu couldn't hold himself back for a long time. After hearing this, he shouted: "Just right, my hands are itchy too."

Wu Yong sighed and said to Song Jiang: "Asi, what should we do?"

Song Jiang scolded Ma Yuan and Ren Yuan, and the two wanted to fight. Song Jiang said to Wu Yong: "Pedant, why don't you let them finish the order?"

Wu Yong pretended to be helpless and agreed.

Everyone gave way to the opening, leaving Liu Tang and Ren Yuan among them. Liu Tang held a simple sword and ran straight to Ren Yuan without saying anything. When Ren Yuan saw Liu Tang running towards him, he screamed strangely and raised an iron rod in his hand to greet him. The two were fighting in the yard. But see:

Turning over and over again, the simple knife never slackens; the iron rod comes and goes in various ways. The stick was chopped down on the head, only a few centimeters away from the top door; the thick-backed knife was stabbed hard, only half a finger could be seen in the heart.

At that moment, Liu Tang and Ren Yuan were fighting each other, and they fought until they were forty or fifty, with neither victory nor defeat. Liu Tang fought for many times, then showed his weakness and allowed Yuan Yuan to chop down the iron bar. Liu Tang turned around, looked at Ren Yuan kindly, and slashed Ren Yuan's arm with one knife. Ren Yuan had no choice but to abandon the stick in his hand and jumped back to avoid the knife.

Just as Liu Tang was about to step forward, Song Jiang saw him. He quickly stopped and said, "This game is won by the Liu Tang brothers."

After hearing this, Liu Tang stopped and said, "I agree." He walked back to the team.

When Ma Yuan saw him, he shook the nine-section whip in his hand and shouted to Shi Xiu: "Come, let's see each other."

Hearing this, Shi Xiu held up the silver-black gold wild goose-wing knife in his hand. He came and went, the knife shone with cold light, and the single whip was filled with cold air.

After fighting for a long time, it was like a flying phoenix welcoming a luan. After a short battle, it was like a horned eagle taking a rabbit. The two fought for more than thirty years, but Ma Yuan was weak and had to block them. Seeing that he was about to lose, Song Jiang quickly ordered someone to blow the gong, and Li Zhong held a gun and shouted: "You two guys have a rest." He hit the gap with his spear, and both of them sheathed their weapons, jumped out of the circle, and stood still. .

Why didn't Shi Xiu take the opportunity to kill Ma Yuan? But last night, Wu Yong had already ordered that if there was a fight, no one should be killed. First of all, it is not easy to offend Song Jiang. Secondly, these people were kept to confront Yun Tianbiao and others to prevent the government from easily winning.

Song Jiang laughed and said: "In this second game, Liangshan County still won, so according to the agreement, the price of the iron ingots will be 10 Wen per catty."

After saying that, everyone was invited to the hall to drink. Liu Tang and Shi Xiu calmed down their anger. Ren Yuan and Ma Yuan put aside their prejudices and sat down in the hall.

Seeing that both battles had been lost, Song Jiang felt depressed and unconsciously drank too much. He said to everyone: "Now the court is unclear and treacherous ministers are blocked. People with lofty ideals are not allowed to be promoted. Xiao Ke is going up the mountain now to weigh the gold and silver and change his suit." It's better to wear clothes than to be angry with these incompetent and corrupt officials. I will just wait for the court to recruit me and become an official sooner or later. It's a pity that the village is short of soldiers and food, so I can't express my ambition."

Li Zhong was moved when he heard this and said, "Brother, have you ever heard of the birthday guide?"

Song Jiang said: "What is the birthday plan?"

Li Zhongdao: "On June 15th, Grand Master Cai's birthday, Liang Taishu of Daming Prefecture bought gifts and toys, and selected people to go to Beijing to celebrate Grand Master Cai's birthday. They have not sent them for two years. This year, I heard that no less than 200,000 gold and silver treasures will be sent. "

Lai Yong'er said: "Is it possible?"

Wu Yong said: "I have heard many times in Liangshan County that someone has already announced that this year they will be escorted overtly and covertly. In the past two years, they designed to kill many heroes in the green forest. I want to make this deal this year." Ill-gotten wealth can be escorted to Bianjing."

After hearing this, Lai Yong'er naturally asked Wu Yong carefully. Song Jiang listened on the sidelines, his eyes shining brightly.

On the second day, the delivery was clear, and Wu Yong and others supervised Che Zhan and returned to Liangshan County.

Gongsun Sheng disguised himself as a wandering Taoist priest early in the morning, entered Qingzhou early, and spread the news of the birthday plan everywhere. This was actually a plan between Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong on the road, and they deliberately released the news in order to lure Song Jiang and his gang to rob the birthday card. True or false, it corresponds to what Wu Yong said.

Zhao Zhen listened to what Wu Yong and the other three said, and said quickly: "Three brothers have worked hard. Let Zhao Yuanli count the cars and put them in the warehouse. You can rest early and have a drink tomorrow."
