Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Song Jiangdao: "It doesn't matter! I just wrote a detailed letter and said everything in it. After you finish the Qingfeng Village, you can pack up your troops and go to Liangshan."

After Song Jiang finished speaking, Xiao Fu found a pen and inkstone, matched a piece of paper, wrote the letter, and handed it to Hua Rong for collection.After writing the letter to Chao Gai, Song Jiang took a knife across his waist, called Kong Liang, and went out.

Yanshun and Wang Ying hurriedly took some silver from the cottage and gave it to Song Jiang to hide on their bodies.Hua Rong and others accompanied Song Jiang out of the gate of the cottage.

Song Jiang wished he could get home one step at a time. He hugged his brothers and flew down the mountain with Kong Liang.

Huarong, Yanshun and the others watched Song Jiang leave. After Song Jiang disappeared down the mountain, they returned to the Juyi Hall and only discussed the matter of going to Liangshan that day.

Yanshun left Zheng Tianshou behind and asked him to take with him the hundred or so young men who stayed behind. Today, he built more than a dozen cars and loaded the old and young with gold, silver, belongings, clothes, luggage, etc. in the car. Going up, just waiting for the news from Qingfengzhai.Once Yanshun and others succeeded, Zheng Tianshou pressed the gold and silver belongings down the mountain to join the brigade, and went south overnight to join Shuibo Liangshan.

After Zheng Tianshou left, Huarong, Yanshun and Wang Ying led five or six hundred men and rode three or two hundred good horses, and rushed down the mountain to Qingfengzhai in a murderous spirit.

……

When Qin Ming arrived outside Qingfeng Village, he called out to the soldiers guarding the village: "I am the commander of the Army and Horse Division of Qingzhou Army and Horse Commander Qin Ming. Quickly open the gate and lead me to see Huang Dujian."

After hearing this, the Zhai soldiers hurried to the public hall to report to Ximen Qing and Huang Xin: "Outside the gate, Qin Tongzhi came alone on horseback and called 'open the gate'."

After hearing this, Ximenqing looked up to the sky and laughed, Qin Ming really recommended himself to be a lobbyist in Qingfengzhai!Presumably Song Jiang, Hua Rong and others will arrive later, and the bandits from Qingfeng Mountain will enter my urn today!

After hearing this, Huang Xin knew that the movements of the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain were under the control of Ximen Qing, and he really admired Ximen Qing.He asked Ximenqing what to do, and Ximenqing assigned him to welcome Qin Ming into Qingfengzhai alone.After Huang Xin got the order, he hurried out of the public hall and rushed to the gate of the village.

After Huang Xin left, Ximen Qing immediately sent people to get ready behind the hall, waiting for Qin Ming's arrival.

When Huang Xin got on his horse and galloped to the gate of the village to have a look, it turned out that Qin and Ming were riding alone, without a companion.Huang Xin called to open the gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and welcomed Director Qin to come in. He dismounted in front of the Dazhai public hall and invited Qin Ming to the hall.

As soon as Qin Ming stepped into the Dazhai public hall, he heard a voice shout: "Brother Qin, are you safe? Brothers have been waiting here for a long time!"

Qin Ming took a closer look, but saw Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu sitting on the chairs in the middle of the hall, looking at him with a smile.

Two people who shouldn't appear suddenly appeared in Qingfeng Village, Qin Ming couldn't help being startled, and was at a loss for a while.These two are bosom friends of Murong Yanda, the governor of the prefecture.Could it be that they appear here because of the intention of Mr. Zhizhou? Things are going to go bad today

"Brother Ximen, Brother Luan! What a coincidence, why did you two come to Qingfengzhai!" Qin Ming bit the bullet and greeted Ximen Qing and the other two, while thinking about how he would escape from Qingfengzhai if the other party turned against him. .

Seeing that Qin Ming was restless, Ximen Qing didn't want to scare him anymore, so he said to Qin Ming, "Brother Qin, don't panic, who do you think this is?"

Accompanied by Ximen Qing's voice, several soldiers behind the hall brought out two people.One of these two is a woman in her thirties, and the other is a boy of eight or nine years old.When the two saw Qin Ming, one called "Husband" and the other "Daddy", and they threw themselves on Qin Ming.

There was a "buzz" in Qin Ming's head, as if struck by lightning, and he stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.Isn't it his wife and children who threw themselves on him?Haven't they been killed by Zhizhou Murong Yanda?How could it appear in Qingfeng Village?

Of course it is impossible for a dead person to come back to life. If his wife and children are still alive, it means that he was deceived by Murong Zhizhou.But why did Murong Zhizhou deceive himself?

Qin Ming raised his head and cast doubtful eyes on Ximen Qing and Huang Xin.

Ximen Qing said with a smile to Qin Ming: "Brother Qin, there is a letter written by Mr. Zhizhou here. Brother Qin will know the reason for this." After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing took out the letter written by Murong Yanda to Qin Ming from his body. Handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming let go of his wife and children, took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.I saw that the letter from Murong Zhizhou stated how the Qingfeng Mountain robbers pretended to be Qin Ming at night and went to Qingzhou City to kill people and set fire to frame Qin Ming; They were saved from innocent disasters; how did everyone decide to let Qin Ming go undercover in Qingfengshan, and attract a group of thieves to attack Qingfengzhai.

The most important thing is that in order for Qin Ming to win the trust of the robbers in Qingfeng Mountain, Murong Zhizhou wanted to make a fake show, making Qin Ming mistakenly think that his family members were killed and had nowhere to go.Only in this way can Qin Ming reveal his true feelings and win the trust of the Qingfeng Mountain robbers.

Murong Zhizhou promised Qin Ming in the letter that although Qin Ming was forced to take refuge in the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain for a short time in order to use his tricks.But I never doubted Qin Ming's loyalty to the court and himself.As long as Qin Ming can act according to the set plan this time and wipe out the Qingfeng Mountain bandit in one fell swoop, he will guarantee that Qin Ming will be restored to his former post, and he will ask the court for rewards so that Qin Ming can be promoted to a higher position.

After reading the handwritten letter written by Murong Yanda, Qin Ming broke out in a cold sweat just like Huang Xin did back then.I have a good martial arts, and I am known as the undeserved courage of all men, but in the hands of people like Song Jiang and Murong Yanda, I am at the mercy of others like a puppet on a string. Have I ever controlled my own destiny?

Seeing that all his actions were planned by Murong Yanda and the Ximen official in front of him, Qin Ming still had no desire to resist.

Chapter 195

Although "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming is a quick-tempered person, he is not a fool. At this moment, he immediately made a wise decision: I want anyway!I want to return to the arms of the officers and soldiers, and I am incompatible with the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain!

Qin Ming could see clearly that Ximenqing and Luan Tingyu on the opposite side were both people with high martial arts skills, and Huang Xin behind him obviously couldn't betray the court to help him again. He didn't know how many soldiers were ambushed inside and outside the court. If he insisted on fighting with Song Jiang Waiting for others to join forces is a dead end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of this Dazhai public hall alive.

Furthermore, I, Qin Ming, have always been loyal to the imperial court.After I was captured by Qingfeng Mountain robbers, I faced Song Jiang and others who were willing to use both soft and hard tactics, but I firmly rejected their request to invite me to join the gang.

It was only because Song Jiang shamelessly framed me with poisonous tricks, and Mr. Zhizhou used his tricks again, which made me mistakenly think that my family was killed and I had no way to serve the country, so I joined Qingfeng Mountain temporarily.The fact that the grass fell was not my original intention, Qin Ming!

Now that I know that this matter was caused by Master Zhizhou who asked me Qin Ming to go to Qingfeng Mountain as an undercover agent, then I have done nothing wrong with falling into Qingfeng Mountain!Returning to the arms of the officers and soldiers today, I, Qin Ming, must, under the command of the Zhizhou Xianggong, exterminate the Qingfeng Mountain bandits and make new achievements.

Qin Ming could see clearly from Murong Yanda's letter that Master Zhizhou had entrusted Ximen Qing, who was in front of him, with the task of exterminating the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, and he had to obey Ximen Qing's command and dispatch.

The magistrate Murong Yanda made such an arrangement, but Qin Ming didn't take it seriously and accepted it calmly.The Song Dynasty implemented a national policy of emphasizing literature and restraining military affairs, and military leaders were usually held by literati.For example, in this Qingfeng village, the Zhengzhi village is in charge of scholars and literati, and the general can only be a vice-zhi village.

Qin Ming has been promoted all the way in the army until he reached the post of commander in charge of soldiers and horses.

Qin Ming had already heard the rumors of Ximen Qing's peerless literary talents in Qingzhou City, and knew that Murong Yanda and Zhao Mingcheng admired Ximen Qing very much, so he naturally regarded Ximen Qing as an outstanding scholar.

Now that Murong Yanda of Zhizhou asked a celebrity among the literati to come to Qingfengzhai to lead the army, it really couldn't be more normal!What's more, the visitor is a man with both civil and military skills, so Qin Ming naturally respects him even more.

Qin Ming clasped his fists to Ximen Qing and said that he would fully cooperate with Ximen Qing in accordance with the distribution of the magistrate, and asked Ximen Qing what he planned to do next.

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Qin Tongzhi, before you go down the mountain, the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain must be preparing their troops and preparing to follow you to attack Qingfeng Village, right?"

Qin Ming nodded and said that Ximenqing's guess was not bad, and the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain would kill them soon, so they had to take precautions early.

Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Hahaha~ Brother Qin, since that's the case, I just need to close the door and beat the dog!"

Huang Xin also said to Qin Ming: "General Ximen has already made an arrangement. He has set up an ambush outside the Qingfeng Village, just waiting for the thieves from Qingfeng Mountain to come and throw themselves into the net."

After hearing this, Qin Ming was secretly glad, and admired Ximen Qing even more.Qin Ming hurriedly asked Ximen Qing to fight, and asked Ximen Qing to arrange for him to charge into the battle, saying that he would use a bloody battle to wash away the shame of his defeat in Qingfeng Mountain.

Ximen Qing said to Qin Ming: "Qin Tongzhi, today's battle will naturally have to work hard for you. You will do this later..." Ximen Qing gave Qin Ming an opportunity, and Qin Ming nodded repeatedly.

Ximen Qing, Luan Tingyu, Qin Ming and Huang Xin were discussing in the public hall when they saw soldiers from the village rushing in to report: "There is a group of soldiers and horses, beating gongs and beating drums, rushing to the town."

Ximen Qing said: "The thieves from Qingfeng Mountain must have arrived. Qin Tongzhi and Huang Dujian, we will act according to plan."

Qin Ming and Huang Xin heard it, responded, and left the hall first, got on their horses, and came to meet the enemy.When the soldiers and horses came to look at the gate, they saw that the sun was covered by dust and the sky was covered with murderous aura. A group of hundreds of soldiers came straight to Qingfeng Village.

When Qin Ming and Huang Xin went to look outside the fence, they could see from a distance that the killed army horse was the bandit on Qingfeng Mountain.The three leading leaders are "Little Li Guang" Hua Rong, "Jin Mao Hu" Yan Shun and "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying.These three men led one to two hundred people each, and killed them fiercely in front of Qingfeng Village.

Huang Xin asked the soldiers of the village to put down the suspension bridge, opened the gate of the village, and brought all the people from Qingfeng Mountain to the town.Qin Ming was also fully dressed, holding a mace and waiting for Hua Rong and others behind the gate of the village.

Seeing Daxi, Wang Ying said to Huarong and Yanshun, "Brother Qin Ming is right, Huang Xin of the 'Three Mountains of the Town' also joined me in Qingfeng Mountain! Two brothers, go to that town to search for gold. Yin, let the little matter of killing Na into the South Village and arresting Liu Gao's family be handed over to my brother. Brother will definitely kill the grass and root out the roots, and will not let a woman and child of his family be spared!"

Yan Shun laughed and scolded: "I think you are here to catch Mrs. Liu Gao first! We don't fight with you, you go and fight that South Village!"

While laughing and cursing, the three of them led more than a hundred people across the suspension bridge and entered the gate of Qingfeng Village.

Seeing that Qin Ming was waiting for them in front, Hua Rong galloped forward and wanted to talk to Qin Ming.

Because Song Jiang made the decision on Qingfeng Mountain, he had already betrothed Huarong's younger sister to Qin Ming, and they would get married as soon as they conquered Qingfengzhai. Therefore, Huarong already regarded Qin Ming as his brother-in-law, so he rode his horse here unsuspectingly. In front of Qin Ming.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huarong arrived in front of Qin Ming, Qin Ming suddenly yelled like thunder.Before Huarong could react in time, Qin Ming swung the mace violently and smashed it on Huarong's left arm.

Qin Ming's stick was so strong that it smashed Hua Rong's left arm, and also swept Hua Rong off his horse.A few soldiers emerged from behind Qin Ming, and quickly tied Hua Rong into a ball.

It happened so suddenly, no one thought that Qin Ming would suddenly turn his back on him.Yanshun and Wang Ying were stunned for a moment, then led their troops to attack Qin Ming to grab Huarong.
