Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Chapter 2

Luan Tingyu told Ximenqing that in order to let the old man Liu of Taohuazhuang assist in leading the robbers on the Taohua mountain down the mountain, he had already told the old man Liu about the extermination of Qingfeng Mountain.

When Mrs. Liu knew that Ximen Qing and others had a close relationship with Mr. Zhizhou and helped Mr. Zhizhou wipe out the thieves in Qingfeng Mountain, he readily agreed to assist Ximen Qing and others.

The soldiers were also borrowed, and Taohuazhuang also agreed to assist, and then it was time to discuss how to lure Zhou Tong and Li Zhong down the mountain.

Luan Tingyu told Ximenqing that he had come up with a plan to lure the "little overlord" Zhou Tong down the mountain.

Zhou Tong had always been greedy for the beauty of Liu Xiuxiang, Miss Taohuazhuang. Although he was afraid of Lu Zhishen, he dared not come to the door to snatch her, but he kept trying to keep Miss Liu from getting married.

Zhou used this method to control Ms. Liu in his hands, trying to force Mrs. Liu's father and daughter to submit.

At this time, if Zhou Tong heard that someone dared to come to Taohuazhuang to marry Miss Liu without fear of his threat, he would definitely be furious and kill him down the mountain.

At that time, it will not be difficult to capture Zhou Tong.After Zhou Tong was captured, Li Zhong, the head of the great village on Peach Blossom Mountain, would of course lead his troops to rescue Zhou Tong.At that time, there will be ambushes all over the place, and "Tiger Fighter" Li Zhong will also be unable to fly.

Luan Tingyu also said that he had already discussed this plan with Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu, Gao Yi, would like to cooperate with me in playing a scene of marrying a daughter.

The old lady would invite relatives and friends from neighboring villages to Peach Blossom Village to attend her daughter's wedding with great fanfare.In this way, it is not difficult to spread the news to Peach Blossom Mountain.Can't help but "little bully" Zhou Tong doesn't believe it.

After hearing this, Ximen Qing praised the plan very well.He said to Luan Tingyu: "Since you have discussed with Mrs. Liu, you will be the one to dress up the fake bridegroom. Brother Jiao Ting and I will go and capture Zhou Tong and Li Zhong!"

Luan Tingyu waved to Ximen Qing and said that Ximen Qing had to do the pretending to be the groom.Only when a handsome man like Ximen Qing shows up, can he anger that "little overlord" Zhou Tong better.

After hearing this, Ximen Qing didn't object, so he decided to pretend to be the groom himself.It's really hard to shirk, I, Ximen Qing, the most handsome and suave person in Taohua Zhuang, there is no one more suitable than me to pretend to be the groom's official.

Furthermore, Mrs. Liu's little daughter is so beautiful, it would be a pleasure to pretend to be a fake husband and wife with her on the way home.

That night, the three of Ximenqing discussed in detail again, and decided on a plan to lure the enemy.Jiao Ting rushed to the village where the [-] Qingfeng soldiers were stationed and hid overnight, and temporarily took charge of the reinforcements.Luan Tingyu and Ximen Qing stayed in Taohuazhuang to work separately.

……

On Peach Blossom Mountain, "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong and "Tiger Fighter" Li Zhong were drinking and having fun in the Juyi Hall, when they suddenly heard that the young people outside the hall had something urgent to report.

Li Zhong called the young man to come in, and saw the young man rushing into the Juyi hall, shouting angrily, "It's a bad thing! It's a bad thing!"

Li Zhong asked: "What's going on down the mountain, are you in a panic?"

The young man ran up to Li Zhong and Zhou Tong and said, "It's a bad thing! Second village master, your wife is married!"

When Zhou Tong heard this, his eyes widened, he patted the table and shouted: "Bah! What nonsense are you talking about?"

The little guy was startled, and hurriedly reported: "The villain was ordered by the two village masters to go down the mountain to inquire about the news. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he saw people from all over the world walking towards the Peach Blossom Village. The villain asked someone to inquire, and said It was Taigong Liu of Taohuazhuang who recruited a passing businessman as his wife, and married his daughter to the merchant. Today, he will pay homage to the church. Everyone on the road is invited to have a wedding. The villain said that Liu Taigong’s The daughter is the wife that the head of the second village set his eyes on. Who would dare to marry her? So the villain followed the crowd to the Peach Blossom Village, and sure enough, he saw that the village was decorated with red and colorful decorations. The farmers in the village are also slaughtering pigs and sheep, playing and playing, it’s very lively! The villain didn’t dare to neglect when he saw it, and hurried back to report to the two village owners.”

Zhou Tong jumped up when he heard the little boy's words, threw the wine bowl in his hand on the ground, and cursed angrily: "That old donkey is so bold! Don't take me seriously at all! Today I'm going down the mountain to kill you!" That old donkey!"

Li Zhong persuaded from the side: "Brother, don't be impulsive! You have to find out clearly before making a plan. Back then, you and my brother promised in front of Lu Zhishen that we would not make trouble in Taohuazhuang."

Zhou Tongdao: "Brother, brother, I can't stand it! Back then, that old donkey relied on the bald backing of the 'Hua Monk' Lu Zhishen, and forcibly broke up my relationship with Miss Liu! I have never cared about the past three years. The donkey’s Zhuangzi has never been there to collect offerings. If the old donkey is a sensible person, he should have sent his daughter up the mountain to reunite with me. How do you know that the old donkey doesn’t think of the kindness that my brother and I have shown him in the past three years. How dare he betroth his daughter to an outsider! No one in this Peach Blossom Mountain would dare to marry Ms. Liu, and the old donkey would recruit passing merchants to marry him. If I don’t kill the old donkey today to vent my anger, brother, I really can’t swallow this!"

Li Zhongdao: "Now that Lu Zhishen is falling grass in Erlong Mountain not far from here, if you let him know that you and I killed Liu Taigong, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing and trouble will happen. Why don't you and I go down the mountain and kill that man?" The merchants drove away, and then scattered all the guests, so that Mr. Liu's wedding could not be held."

Zhou Tong got up and walked out of the Juyi Hall, and said to Li Zhong: "Brother is too careful! Who knows if that thief Lu Zhishen still remembers what happened back then? He is happy in Erlong Mountain, but he can't control my peach blossom mountain. Something! My brother went to the foot of the mountain to make a big fuss today, so I won’t implicate my brother!”

Li Zhong got up and said: "Brother, why do you say that, you and I are brothers who live and die together! Wait a minute, brother, I will go with you!"

Zhou Tong turned around and said: "Excuse those passing merchants, why do you need brother to go out? Brother, I can go down the mountain alone, no need to work brother!" After finishing speaking, Zhou Tong went out of the Juyi hall, got on his horse, grabbed his gun, and brought He rushed down the mountain with a hundred young men.I could only hear Li Zhong shouting from behind: "Brother, be careful! Go early and return early!"

……

Peach Blossom Manor was full of guests, and people from all over the country brought gifts to the door, and it was very lively for a while.Wearing a festive red brocade robe, Ximen Qing was standing outside the gate of Taohuazhuang with Mrs. Liu, welcoming guests from neighboring villages.

After the guests who came to the wedding saw the talented Ximen Qing, they all envied Mrs. Liu's good fortune, and they didn't know where to find such a noble person to marry.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu laughed and laughed from ear to ear, her face was also full of red light.

Ximen Qing murmured to himself in his heart: This Mr. Liu is really willing to spend his money today!In order to trick Zhou Tong into going down the mountain, he made such a big show.After Peach Blossom Mountain is pacified, I will give him more money to compensate him for today's loss!

Chapter 2: Zhou Tong Came to Visit

It was almost noon, and all the guests invited by Taohuazhuang arrived. Mrs. Liu ordered the guests to set up a banquet, and the banquet was about to start.

At this moment, only the sound of gongs and drums on the side of the mountain was heard, and the voices of people were buzzing.The guests were shocked, and they all followed Mrs. Liu and the bridegroom Ximenqing, and flocked to the gate of Taohuazhuang to see.I saw a group of men and horses galloping up to the village from a distance.

When they got closer, everyone saw clearly that it was the bandit on Peach Blossom Mountain.There were more than a hundred robbers in this group, covering the front and the back, all armed with weapons and guns.The first man riding a tall horse had a broad face, a beard like a halberd, and was wearing a palace brocade jacket with flowers and holding a green spear in his hand. He looked very majestic.

"Ah! It's bitter! Isn't that 'Little Overlord' Zhou Tong?"

"Mother! The debt collectors from Peach Blossom Mountain are here, what should I do?"

"Zhou Tong is a demon king who kills without batting an eyelid, but where are we going to escape?"

"This week Tongxu came to Taohuazhuang to collect offerings, and now I have to spend money to avoid disaster..."

"Could it be that this 'little bully' also came to drink wine?"

……

The guests behind Mrs. Liu stood there trembling with fear, whispering private words.

"My father-in-law! Why did the wedding banquet start before Zhou Tong arrived? Where is my wife? Hurry up and call her out to marry me!" A powerful voice came to everyone's ears, "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong was majestic Riding a horse came to the front of the village.

Only then did the guests behind Mrs. Liu recall the legend that "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong had a relationship with Mrs. Liu's daughter.Apparently, this week, Zhou Tong came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime when he heard the news that Liu Taigong's daughter was married.

"Isn't this King Zhou on the mountain? He is a distinguished guest! King Zhou, my daughter's relationship with you was broken three years ago. Old man, I can't call you 'Old Zhangren'. Old man, my daughter I'm married to this Ximen official, and I'm having a wedding banquet today. King Zhou, would you like to come to the manor for a few glasses of wedding wine?"

Mrs. Liu knew that Ximenqing had ambushed people around, so she didn't panic at all, and dealt with Zhou Tong calmly.

Good old donkey who doesn't know how to flatter you!Annoyed, Zhou Tong raised his eyes to look at Ximen Qing.When he saw the handsome Ximen Qing standing in front of the door and looking at him smiling, he was jealous and hated. He pointed at Ximen Qing and said to the little guy next to him: "Where did the birdman come out? Children, Tie this white-faced bird man up to the mountain and torture him carefully!"

The young men got the order, and immediately more than a dozen people rushed towards Ximen Qing with all their teeth and claws.

"Hugh hurt my master!"

With a loud shout, Luan Tingyu came out with a stick in his hand.Stand in front of Ximen Qing.More than a dozen strong men also jumped out to protect Ximen Qing and Mrs. Liu.

Ho! It seems that this white-faced bird man is a rich man, and he even has a few vicious dogs to guard the house.That's fine, just tie him up the mountain to extort money.

The "little overlord" Zhou Tong made up his mind, he didn't care about Luan Tingyu and the others, he rode his horse towards Luan Tingyu, and stabbed Luan Tingyu's chest with the green spear in his hand.Behind Zhou Tong, the robbers also shouted and rushed forward.

"Native chicken and dog, go to hell!" Zhou Tong rushed to Luan Tingyu on horseback with his gun raised.But in a blink of an eye, Luan Tingyu had disappeared.

When Zhou Tong was confused, Luan Tingyu's figure fell from the sky and landed on Zhou Tong's horse, and Zhou Tong was swept off the horse and fell to the ground with a stick.

Zhou Tong was caught off guard, and fell to the ground in a mess, unable to get up for a long time.When he regained consciousness, he lay down on the ground and looked up, and saw that the man who had just knocked him down was riding on his horse.None of the youngsters I brought could walk in front of that man, this unbearable performance was really like a chicken and a dog.

Seeing that Luan Tingyu was so fierce, the young people in Peach Blossom Mountain were terrified, shouted, and ran back, not caring that their Second Village Lord was still lying on the ground.
