Chapter 470 Vanguard Suo Chao! [Asking for monthly votes]
"Is the second brother planning to kill the Sun family?"
When he heard the word "establish power", Zou Run's eyes became excited. As a bandit, It has been a long time since he participated in team-building activities such as robbing homes and houses.
Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said:
"No need to kill, Sun is responsible for the supply of food and grass for the defenders of Daming Mansion. A batch of food and grass may be arriving in the next two days. We will send people to rob it. The Sun family will naturally have a hard time in Daming Mansion.”
Although the imperial court was responsible for the food and grass for the garrison in various places, the prefects in various places usually cooperated with grain merchants in order to make money.
The Sun family is the supplier of food and grass to Daming Mansion.
In order to search for oil and water, the supply of food and grass is already in short supply. Once it is plundered, the garrison will face the danger of starvation.
Even if Liang Zhongshu is there to protect them, the two eunuchs Wen Da and Li Cheng will not let go of the Sun family.
Zou Run figured out the doorway here, patted his thigh and said:
"Brother Shan, this plan is amazing. The rebirth of Marquis Wu is nothing more than that!"
"Don't flatter me. Let Prime Minister Zhuge hear it in the future. Don't laugh out loud. Watch the surveillance carefully. I'll go Take a look outside.”
Shan Xiongxin straightened his cloak and walked to the lobby of the restaurant. He happened to meet a general in armor coming down from the stairs and quickly bowed his hands:
“ Have you eaten, Suo Tiha? Do you think there is any improvement in the shop?”
The person eating was the pioneer Suo Chao. When he saw Shan Xiongxin, he quickly returned the favor:
"I'm so polite. Every dish is to my liking, especially the fine wine here. It's like charcoal fire. I feel so comfortable after drinking it..."
After being polite, Suo Chao said jokingly:< br>
“The only bad thing I think is that the price is too expensive. With my little salary, I can’t come here more than once.”
When Shan Xiongxin heard this, he waved his hand to the shopkeeper next to him:
“The bill for Sotihad is waived, and I’ll pack some roasted chicken and braised meat to take back...”
"You are too polite. I have no merit and no salary. How can I eat and drink for free? How can I calculate it?"
Shan Xiong believed and refused:
"Sotiha can come. It’s Shan’s honor to be in my shop, so I can’t charge you.”
“Don’t call me Tiejia again. If you don’t mind that I’m a vulgar warrior, how will you and I be like brothers in the future?”
Shan Xiongxin said in surprise:
"Brother Yu wanted to call you brother the first time he saw you, but he was also worried that he would be rejected if he couldn't reach such a high level."
Suo Chao liked this open-minded official very much and quickly bowed and saluted:
< br>"Little brother Suo Chao, meet my brother!"
"Brother, hurry up and invite me, we will be a family from now on."
The more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative, so they just started dating again In a private room, I heard that Suo Chao had an old mother at home. Shan Xiongxin immediately decided to go to the house to meet the old lady tomorrow, which moved Suo Chao very much.
The two drank a few more glasses of wine and ate something. The shopkeeper packed two roast chickens, two pig's trotters, two sauced elbows, and two spicy braised ducks in food boxes. Suo Chao took them and Qian En Thank you very much for going back.
When he returned home drunkenly carrying these things, his old mother came over and said:
“We have prepared meals at home, why are we eating wine outside again?”
"A few colleagues invited me, and I chatted with Shan Yuan of Fengmingyuan... This is a delicious food Shan Yu specially asked me to bring to you. Mom, you can try it."
The old lady took it. After opening the food box, I was immediately fascinated by the smell of roast chicken:
"Such a fragrant delicacy is rare... Hey, what is this?"
The food box is divided into grids. The old lady opened the next grid and saw four neatly arranged inside. Gold ingots and four silver ingots, plus an envelope.
"My son, what does this mean?"
Suo Chao was also a little confused. He first looked at the gold and silver ingots, then picked up the envelope, and after opening it, he saw a line of small words. :
“Brother Yu was overjoyed to recognize his virtuous brother. He wanted to give the silver taels to his parents in person to improve his life, but he was afraid of hurting his reputation, so he mixed it into the food, hoping that his virtuous brother would not take it. I blame Brother Yu for making his own decision. I will visit you tomorrow and apologize in person.”
Seeing this, Suo Chao's eyes turned red, feeling that this good brother was so heartwarming.
The old lady read the letter and said to her son:
"For your sake, this is no more than a real brother. I will clean up the house and cook in person tomorrow to entertain these people grandly. "
After finishing speaking, she looked at the signature again:
"According to legend, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a great hero who was generous in righteousness and wealth, also named Shan Xiongxin..."
< br>
"It's been hundreds of years, mother, what do you think... put the silver away first, and wait until you see Brother Shan tomorrow before making a decision. If he has other ideas, just return the silver. If you really want to make friends with me, just accept it. To subsidize the family, the son will repay the favor in the future."
"Okay, mother, hide it first."
The mother and son put the money into a secret compartment on the wall, and Suo Chao tore it open. My mother ate half of the roasted chicken with soup cakes.
"Mom, how does it taste?"
"It tastes really good. No wonder all the gentlemen and husbands in the city are queuing up to buy it... Wen Dujian takes good care of you on weekdays, my son. If you give half of these delicacies to Wen Dujian, you can express your gratitude.”
"Okay, mother, let's eat. I'll go right away."
Wen Dujian is Wen Da, the military and horse supervisor of Daming Mansion. He is known as Wen Da Dao and is a partner with another military and horse supervisor Li Cheng.
In the original work, it was precisely because of the obstruction of these two people that Liangshan attacked Daming Mansion three times before it was completely captured and rescued Shi Xiu and Lu Junyi.
Wen Da is a very good character. When Yang Zhi was assigned to Daming Mansion and competed in the school field, he was worried that both sides would be injured, so he specifically suggested to pull out the gun head and wrap it with white ash in a cloth to compete until the point was reached.
Yang Zhi defeated Zhou Jin and fought dozens of rounds with Zhou Jin's master Suo Chao. It was difficult to decide the winner. Wen Da called a halt urgently and reported to Liang Zhongshu that the two were equally good at martial arts.
In this way, Yang Zhi, who was originally a traitor to the army, was promoted to be an envoy in charge of the army together with Suo Chao.
If Wen Da hadn’t recommended him, or if he had sidestepped during the fight, Yang Zhi would have continued to be a prisoner.
Unfortunately, after three attacks on Daming Mansion, Wen Da and Li Cheng escorted Liang Taishu to leave. They waited until the Liangshan army had withdrawn before they returned to Daming Mansion with Liang Taishu.
From then on, Wenda Li Cheng was never mentioned in the book.
Later, when the Liangshan army finished conquering Daliao and was ordered to conquer Tianhu in Hebei, they passed by Daming Mansion. Liang Taishu, accompanied by Zhou Jin, greeted the army, but there was no trace of Li Cheng.
Now that Brother Shan is personally recruiting talents, he will naturally not let these two go.
All the generals in Daming Mansion must be packed away to contribute to the cause of Qilin Village.
Suo Chao rode on horseback to deliver braised meat to Wenda, then turned to his apprentice Zhou Jin and asked him to accompany Shan Xiongxin at home early tomorrow morning to entertain Shan Xiongxin.
Early the next morning, Zhou Jin led several soldiers to Suo Chao's house with the purchased fruits and snacks.
The group of people paid homage to the old lady, and then they were busy sprinkling water to sweep the floor and tidy up the yard. They even sprinkled water on the door to show respect.
When the sun rose three o'clock, Zhou Jin, who was rolling up his sleeves and chatting with a few soldiers at the gate, saw dozens of people coming to the alley entrance under the banner of Fengmingyuan, so he hurried back to the courtyard to inform the guests. Chao:
“Master, the single member is here, and it’s even grander than the day I got married.”
When Suo Chao heard this, he quickly straightened his clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. , called her mother to get ready, and then followed Zhou Jin to the gate to greet her.
When we arrived at the door, Shan Xiongxin’s team had already arrived.
There were more than thirty people in the group, and everyone brought gifts, either carried on poles or carried by two people. The gifts were also various, including silks and satins, porcelain, furniture, bedding, cotton-padded jackets, and preserved fruits. Desserts, delicacies, wine, meat, and food are all available. A small family cannot afford such a grand event when getting married.
Shan Xiongxin rode his green-maned horse and came to the door under the guard of Jie Zhen Jie Bao. When he saw Suo Chao, he quickly got off his horse and said:
"Brother Fool is here to disturb me. Please don't worry about Brother Xie." "
How can Suo Chao have any thoughts at this time? His mind is full of how to repay Shan Xiongxin. He bowed to the ground and said:
"My brother's presence has made the humble house shine. , If there is any inconvenience in the reception, please ask brother Haihan.”
“Brother Xian, what are you talking about? Brother Yu is here to pay a visit to our old lady today. Brother Yu has been in Daming Mansion for so long, but he has no relatives. I always wanted to have an elder by my side to talk about.”
Zhou Jin felt like he was in a dream while listening to the two people's greetings.
When we had a drink together at Fengmingyuan yesterday evening, didn’t we still call each other brothers?
After the show, I remember everyone went back to their homes. When did you two secretly have sex?
After greetings, a group of people walked into the yard with gifts. The old lady came out of the house wearing new clothes and leaning on a cane. Shan Xiongxin lifted his clothes and kowtowed to the old lady solemnly.
The old lady was so happy that she helped her personally, and Suo Chao was even more moved.
Shan Xiongxin's family is extremely wealthy and he has extraordinary abilities. The reason why he came to visit the old lady was that he knelt down with a clang when he saw the old lady.
Does he like to kowtow? No, this is to give us more face. At this time, Suo Chao had made up his mind. Even if Brother Shan rebelled, he would just kowtow to him and he would follow the path to the dark side!
Lao Dan has almost zero experience in conquering women, but his experience in conquering men... is at full level!
Arriving at the main room, the guests of honor took their seats. Shan Xiongxin took out Fengmingyuan’s jujube pastry cakes for the old lady to taste. He also explained how to make them and chatted with them, like relatives he hadn’t seen for many years.
Zhou Jin looked at this scene with envy. He wanted to be a person like Shan Xiongxin, who could chat with anyone, was generous and generous, but thinking about the little money in his pocket, Zhou Jin couldn't help but Sighed.
It’s incomparable!
While feeling melancholy, Shan Xiongxin took out several exquisitely made stainless steel pieces from his arms. The words Fengmingyuan were laser-engraved on them, along with numbers.
He handed a piece to Zhou Jin and stuffed the rest into Suo Chao’s hand:
“This is our internal membership card of Fengmingyuan. With this card, all purchases are free of charge. Shan...the two good brothers are in the army, and there must be many occasions for welcoming and sending them off. Brother Yu can only help with food and drinks. "
Zhou Jin took the bright brand and looked around. He thought it was silver, but the hardness and weight were completely different from silver. Especially the laser engraving on it looked refreshing.
When I was in Daming Mansion, I had seen palace utensils before, but this was the first time I saw such exquisite steel pieces.
Suo Chao felt that he was not getting rewarded for his efforts, and he was a little afraid to accept it:
"Brother Shan, this thing..."
"It was given by a worldly master. Don’t refuse the opening gift. It just so happens that I want to find a backer for Fengmingyuan to avoid being bullied by people who are unfamiliar with the place.”
Upon hearing this, Suo Chao ordered to his apprentice Zhou Jin:
"From now on, patrol around Fengming Garden every day. If someone makes trouble, beat him or her when it's time to catch him. Don't tolerate it. . ”
“Don’t worry, Master, I will take care of everything!”
This group of soldiers may not be able to do anything else, but it is too simple to ensure the safety of Fengmingyuan.
Suo Chao collected several membership cards and planned to give one to Wen Da and Li Cheng. Wang Ding, the chief general of the Daming Mansion, also had to give one as a gift.
In the original work of "Water Margin", Wang Ding did not appear many times. When Li Kui led his killing squad to attack Daming Mansion, Wang Ding led an army of one hundred horses and scattered Li Kui's men. .
When the Liangshan army besieged the city, Liang Zhongshu was worried that the city would be broken, so he ordered Wang Ding to dress up neatly, break through the siege of the Liangshan army, and go to Tokyo to report the news and move reinforcements.
It is very important to break out of the encirclement and move reinforcements, but Liang Zhongshu neither sent Wenda Li Cheng nor Suo Chao as the vanguard. Instead, he asked Wang Ding to go out with a secret message, which showed that he was very impressed with his martial arts. Have confidence.
In the original work, the king is always called the chief general, and this is probably the case.
Unfortunately, after this battle, Wang Ding did not appear in the original work, nor did the Second Daming Palace and the Third Daming Palace appear, as if they had been completely erased.
At noon, everyone had dinner at Suo Chao's house. After they were full, Shan Xiongxin made Tremella sweet soup for the old lady with his own hands, and then he said goodbye and left.
In the evening, Li Cheng turned over the stainless steel membership card in his hand:
"The owner of Fengmingyuan is a wonderful person. Have they encountered any trouble recently? "
The steward of the Dujian Mansion reported:
"I haven't heard of any trouble, but there are a lot of people who are jealous of Fengmingyuan's business, and some people even say they want it. Take Fengming Garden into your pocket before the Lantern Festival..."
Hearing this, Li Cheng raised his head and asked:
"Which one?"
"The Sun family in the north of the city..."
When Li Cheng heard this, he slammed the table:< br>
“Since the Sun family began to supply food and grass to the army, the food in the army has become worse and worse. One stone of food is short of more than 20%. Many soldiers complain that they don’t have enough to eat... Let’s talk about Fengmingyuan. The boss is my cousin, Li Cheng. If anyone is interested in something wrong, the Pontifex will lead an army to greet him! ”
"Yes, little one, let me know."
On the other side, Wen Da was also studying the steel piece in his hand:
"This thing is quite hard and not easy to break. If it can be used By making armor and weapons, our army of the Song Dynasty will be invincible!"
He put it away silently and planned to meet with the owner of Fengmingyuan when he had time.
In the real world, Li Yu counted the newly arrived batch of supplies, then opened a courier box and saw the tungsten bricks made for Ma Ling.
A small brick weighed nearly sixty pounds. When Li Yu was moving it, he almost hit his foot by accident.
While busy, Mu Guiying came. She held the tungsten brick in one hand and threw it in her hand, with curiosity on her face:
"This weight is good, Ma Ling should be able to I like it very much, but it’s a pity that I have a throwing knife, otherwise I would just get a few bricks to play with.”
Smashing gold bricks is a kind of sneak attack, but there are throwing knives that can kill people within a hundred steps. What do you think? It's easier to use than the clapper brick. This long-range weapon is the biggest killer.
Among our own masters, in addition to Mu Guiying, who has a flying knife with perfect accuracy, there are also masters such as Li Ying, the flying eagle, Li Gun, the flying great sage, Xiang Chong, the eight-armed Nezha, and Zhang Qing, the featherless arrow. The ability to hurt people from a hundred steps away.
It's just that Li Yingxiangchong used a throwing knife, Li Gun used a javelin, and Zhang Qing used a rounded pebble.
Wait for Zhang Qing to join in, buy him a ton of steel balls the size of glass balls instead of stones, or make balls from tungsten alloy in one step to maximize the lethality.
In the original work, Zhang Qing could only injure people. After upgrading his weapons, he could easily crush skulls. He might even become a deadly general and a skull-crusher who would scare enemy generals.
Li Yu looked at Mu Guiying with envy as he threw the bricks and asked:
“Don’t you think it’s heavy?”
"It's not bad, it's just like a brick. You won't be able to throw it away, husband, right?"
Li Yu: "..."
Don't tell me, do you still want to stay in a B&B? Already?
He coughed dryly and changed the subject:
"Has the cement equipment started operating?"
"No, everyone is still groping for the doorway inside, but the stone crusher has already started to be used. I feel it is very suitable for interrogating prisoners. If you put people in, they can turn into tens of thousands of dollars in less than a minute..."
Li Yu looked shocked when he heard this:
“Have you tried it?”
“No, I want to try it, but no one in the prisoner camp took the initiative to sign up... I’ll wait for you later. Let’s talk about catching the grassland people or the Khitan high-level officials, and give them a decent ending.”
This is the first time I heard that making people into dumpling fillings is decent... Li Yu asked her to put down the tungsten bricks and help organize them. supplies.
After finishing these tasks, he put his arms around the Queen's slender waist and asked:
"Tell me, what do you want to eat, and I will cook it for you."
"While Xiao Sanzang is not here, let's Let’s eat pork ribs, preferably sweet and sour pork ribs. Make more and I’ll give some to Xiao Feiyang... Every time I see her poor little body, I feel that poverty alleviation work is urgent.”
I remember that when you first came here, your figure was not as good as it is now. As a result, after eating hard every day, your figure became more and more perfect, as big as it should be, as tall as it should be, as round as it should be...
A good figure really comes from eating!
When Li Yu returned to the kitchen to work, Mu Guiying took out a pack of Wangwang crushed ice from the refrigerator, bit it open and chewed it twice, then went to Brother Dao and said:
"Internal information, I almost heard it." Come here, but unfortunately I’m restricted by the rules and can’t be your personal secretary. I’ll upgrade quickly and I’ll introduce you to some new friends.”
Brother Dao rolled his eyes and headed towards the kitchen. Called a few times.
Obviously, it also wants to have a younger brother around to serve it. Unfortunately, Li Yu's rules are summarized too slowly, which prevents it from upgrading.
After revealing the news, Mu Guiying came to the kitchen as if nothing had happened and helped with the cooking.
In Journey to the West, Li Shimin knelt down in the cramped Nuwa Temple and bowed respectfully. He took the plum from Zhang Daoling and confirmed:
"Tianshi, can this thing really heal my body? "
"Yes, this plum can keep you free from disasters and diseases during your lifetime. The only requirement is to fulfill your promise just now and unify the southern continent. "
Li Shimin 1. Excited, I added another word to myself:
"Let's fight to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Okay, Pindao will give you some other surprises then."
After saying that, Zhang Daoling flew over Chang'an, took out a box of Dole bananas from the void, and went straight to the place where Wukong was detained—— Two Worlds Mountain!
————————
Wukong will appear tomorrow...I went to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital on Saturday to prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine. I will take one dose every day and drink it for a week first. The weather was 36 degrees, and everyone else was wearing short-sleeves. I was the only one wearing a thickened coat and cotton hat, and I felt alienated from the world.
