Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

When they walked half a mile ahead, they saw a group of people and horses, about a hundred people, all in red clothes and red armor, hugging a young man in red armor. "Today I will compete with you, we will decide whether to win or lose, and we will see who wins and loses!"

I saw that across the back of Shangangzi, there was already a group of people and horses, there were more than a hundred people, all in white clothes and white armor, and they also embraced a young strong man in white, and also held a square sky painted halberd in their hands.

There are plain white banners here, and crimson banners there.I saw the red and white flags waving on both sides, and the ground-shaking coloratura drums beating.

The two strong men didn't even talk, each of them held out their halberds, and they sat down on their horses, and the two fought on the wide road between them for more than [-] bouts, regardless of victory or defeat.

Luan Tingyu looked at it, and laughed immediately: "Skills stop here!"

Chapter 2 Thirteen

Ximen Qing knew that it wasn't that Luan Tingyu was arrogant, but that the martial arts skills of the two bandit leaders in front of him were really average.

These two people are not very capable, but the tone of their nicknames is not small.One is called "Little Wenhou" Lu Fang, who compares himself to Lu Bu, the fierce general of the Three Kingdoms period; the other is called "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng, as if he is really stronger than Xue Rengui, the fierce general of the Tang Dynasty.

Ximen Qing remembered that the man in the red armor was "Little Marquis Wen" Lu Fang.Because he sold raw medicine to Shandong, he lost his capital and was unable to return to his hometown, so he occupied the opposite Yingshan in Yanzhou and lived by robbing his house.

Lu Fang is really a stupid person!The richest person on Bianliang Mahang Street in Tokyo is a merchant who runs a herbal medicine store, and the richest man in Yanggu County is also Ximen Qing who owns a herbal medicine store. This shows that the herbal medicine business is a very profitable business, but this guy Lu Fang But he was able to sell medicine at a loss, he really was a "wizard" in the business world of the Song Dynasty!

The business is losing money. If you manage it hard and start over, you may not have a chance to turn around, but this guy actually chose to gather gangsters, turn grass into bandits, and do the business of killing people and stealing goods.

Many people in later generations don't know the truth, and think that the so-called heroes of Liangshan were forced to go to Liangshan because of the darkness of society. How could they know that people like Lu Fang didn't need to be forced, and they became robbers themselves.Like Yanshun, Wang Ying and others, he was born with a wicked heart and had the potential to be a robber.

The man in the white armor was "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng, and that fellow, like Lu Fang, was a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs.He was originally in the business of selling mercury goods, but due to bad luck, he was capsized by the wind in the Yellow River, lost his capital, and could not return to his hometown.

If the business loses money, you can do other livelihoods. If it's really bad, you can use your own skills to join the army.But Guo Sheng's choice was the same as Lu Fang's. Bai Dao would not follow the underworld, but also gathered people to prepare for the hopeless career of robbers.

What's even more amazing about Guo Sheng is that it's not easy to be a robber.There are so many steep mountains in the Great Song Dynasty where he can set up a camp and let him fall into the grass.However, because he heard from the rivers and lakes that there was a "Little Marquis Wen" who used a halberd in Yingying Mountain to occupy the top of the mountain and robbed his house, so he came here to find Lu Fang to compare his halberd skills, and wanted to take Lu Fang's cottage by force.

Lu Fang, a stunned young man, also felt a big headache when he met Guo Sheng who was even more stunned than himself.He didn't want to get entangled with Guo Sheng, so he gave Guo Sheng the one on the opposite side of the shadow mountain.Unexpectedly, Guo Sheng refused to accept it, and decided to share the victory with Lu Fang in the ability to draw Fang Tian's halberd.

Everyone is a bandit who likes to use hands more than talk, so if you can't agree, hit them!So Lu Fang and Guo Sheng had a big fight under Duying Mountain.The result of the battle is also very gratifying - the martial arts of these two failed businessmen are generally low, and neither of them can beat the other.

The stupid Guo Sheng didn't accept the result of a draw, he didn't do his job as a bandit every day, he only cared about pestering Lu Fang to compete in martial arts.

As a result, a spectacle appeared in Yanzhou on Jingdong Road in the Song Dynasty. On the Dayi Road built by the government, there were actually two gangs of robbers who were not doing their jobs, and gathered there every day to fight and compete!

What's even more amazing is that the Yanzhou government pretended not to see it, and did not send a single soldier to conquer it.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng would not be disturbed by the government, they would fight here every day.It's a pity that the two are low-handed and low-handed, and neither can do anything to the other.

Not only are these two martial arts showy, but even the weapons they use are more gorgeous than practical.How can Fang Tian draw a halberd?If you don't have very good martial arts skills, you can't use Fang Tian's painting halberd well.There are countless warriors who used guns and knives in history. How many people are famous for using Fang Tian to draw halberds?

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng not only used the difficult Fang Tian painted halberd, but also made some fancy things under the head of the halberd.On the two halberds they used, one was tied with a leopard's tail, and the other was tied with a five-colored flag of money, which could easily confuse with the opponent's weapons, and the velvet ribbons on the top were knotted, making it difficult to separate them.

Historically, it was precisely because Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's painting halberds were entangled that they were shot away with an arrow by "Little Li Guang" Hua Rong who was passing by. Shocked, the two joined Song Jiang's Qingzhou bandit gang and followed them. On Liangshan.

But after these two living treasures went to Liangshan, they still did not change their disposition of liking to be ostentatious, and continued to tie the tail of a leopard on Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Later, when Liangshan attacked Zengtou City, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng joined forces to fight Zeng Tu, the boss of the Zeng family's five tigers, and because of the tail of the leopard, the two painted halberds were entangled with Zeng Tu's spear.Zeng Tu's spear had a short fringe, and he quickly drew it out, almost killing Lu Fang and Guo Sheng who were still entangled with their halberds.

Fortunately, Hua Rong shot Zeng Tu in a sneak attack and shot him off his horse, so that the two living treasures, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, were able to work together to kill Zeng Tu.

At the moment, under Duying Mountain, Ximen Qing had no interest in waiting for the two living treasures to entangle the painting halberds, so he asked Luan Tingyu to wait for the opportunity to step forward and shoot them directly.

Luan Tingyu rode his horse and raised his gun, pressing forward step by step.Suddenly Ximen Qing caught up with him and said to him: "Brother Luan, I changed my mind. You kill the young general in red and save the young general in white. Capture him alive and come to see me."

"This matter is not difficult to handle, it depends on my means!" Luan Tingyu clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and rushed up the horse.

When Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were in an inseparable fight, they suddenly heard the exclamation of the young people behind them.When he was looking around in his busy schedule, he saw a general with silver armor and silver armor suddenly rode his horse and killed him and Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng also noticed Luan Tingyu approaching at this time, he and Lu Fang stopped their hands, each took two steps away, looked at Luan Tingyu together and asked, "Who are you?"

Luan Tingyu did not attack the two of them, but stopped a few steps in front of them, pointed at Lu Fang with pride and said, "You bastard is not worthy of knowing the master's name, I will kill you!"

Immediately afterwards, he pointed at Guo Sheng and said, "Master, I will capture you alive!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were furious when they heard the words, and they both raised their halberds to fight Luan Tingyu.Luan Tingyu jumped on his horse and raised his spear, and fought with Lu Fang and Guo Sheng.

After the three fought against each other, Lu Fang and Guo Shengfang realized what is beyond the sky.That Luan Tingyu's marksmanship is like a god, and his spear is as swift as the wind, and he can't leave the vital points of the two of them.Before the tenth round, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng could only cover up and dodge, there was no way to fight back.

With a "poof", just after ten rounds of fighting between the two sides, Luan Tingyu pierced Lu Fang's chest with a single shot, making him feel chilled.Lu Fang swayed and fell off his horse headfirst.

Luan Tingyu looked back and came to fight Guo Sheng again, but Guo Sheng yelled to stop and jumped off his horse.

Guo Sheng threw away the painting halberd in his hand, clasped his fists and said to Luan Tingyu: "The general's majesty! The villain Guo Sheng admires him! I wish the general's name."

Chapter 2: For Guo Jing's sake, let him go

Luan Tingyu saw the young general in white armor get off his horse and admit defeat, so he also put away his pistol and brought him to Ximen Qing.

Seeing that Lu Fang was stabbed to death, the more than 100 robbers in red clothes screamed and wanted to run away.How do you know that Jiao Ting has led people to rush up at this time, and intercepted them.

Seeing that their leader, Guo Sheng, had surrendered Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu, while Guo Sheng's opponent Lu Fang had been killed, Guo Sheng's subordinates in white clothes surrounded them immediately and helped Jiao to support them. Intimidate Lu Fang's subordinates to surrender.

Snakes can't do without a head. Seeing that the momentum is not good, Lu Fang's subordinates dared not resist. They threw down their flags and weapons one after another, and surrendered on their knees with their heads in their hands.

At this time, Guo Sheng had already learned from Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu that they were the ones who wiped out Qingfeng Mountain and Taohua Mountain a few days ago. He was so shocked that his back broke out in cold sweat, wondering how these two heroes would deal with him.

Seeing Guo Sheng's panic, Ximen Qing asked, "Guo Sheng, tell me the truth, when did you come here to face Yingshan? Did you ever kill the lives of passing merchants? You can hide it from me, I will Go and ask Lu Fang's subordinates for confirmation."

Guo Sheng replied: "Don't dare to deceive the two heroes. The villain Guo Sheng, his ancestor is from Jialing, Sichuan. Because of selling mercury goods, the Yellow River was capsized by wind and could not return to his hometown.

The villain originally learned Fang Tianji in Jialing, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Ti, the soldier and horse of this place; later, he became proficient, and everyone called the villain "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng.

It is heard in the rivers and lakes that there is a man with a halberd occupying the top of Yingshan Mountain, beating houses and robbing houses;The villain fought Nalu Fang for three to five days, regardless of victory or defeat.

When the villain first came here, he only fought against Lu Fang every day, but he never robbed his house or killed anyone.If there are false words, let the villain be thundered! "

What Guo Sheng said was consistent with what Ximen Qing remembered, so Ximen Qing naturally believed his words.So he advised Guo Sheng not to rob his house here, and pointed him to a bright way.

Guo Sheng expressed his obedience to Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid of me, hurry to agree to this matter. You should know that the place I am referring to you is also a temporary shelter. There are two famous heroes in the Jianghu there, you must have heard of their names. As long as If you follow them, you will have a great time in the future. If you don't want to go, I won't force you, so I will let you go."

Guo Sheng asked: "May I ask what good place the heroes are referring to? Who are the names of the two heroes?"

Ximenqing said to Guo Sheng: "The place I directed you to is Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou. There is a big village on that mountain. There are two heroes in the village, one is "Hua Monk" Lu Zhishen, and the other is "Qingmian" Beast "Yang Zhi. These two are officers, not people who have been in the grass for a long time. You can take your subordinates to join them, and they will have a bright future in the future."

"The villain has admired the names of those two heroes for a long time in the rivers and lakes, but he never met each other. Since there is a place to go, the villain is willing. It's just that the villain has no friendship with those two heroes. No one has introduced him. How can he accept it? villain?"

Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Since I instructed you to go, I am sure that the two of them will accept you. If you are willing to vote, I will write you a letter. You take my letter to see the "monk of flowers" Lu Zhishen, He will take you in."

After hearing this, Guo Sheng fell to the ground and thanked him.Ximen Qing's subordinates took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter to Lu Zhishen recommending Guo Sheng, and handed it to Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng knew that Ximen Qing was not lying to him, so he happily invited Ximen Qing and his party to the mountain as guests.However, Ximen Qing asked him to recruit Lu Fang's more than a hundred bandit minions, first to help him kill Lu Fang's stockade, and remove all the property in the stockade.

After descending the mountain, Ximenqing told Guo Sheng that his party had already missed the itinerary and had to make another trip, so they would not go to his cottage. Let's just leave and meet at Erlong Mountain in the future.
