Chapter 343 Visiting Sages in Shuanglin Town

Seeing these gold and silver, Wu Song asked what to do with them, Mu Xu pretended to ponder and said, "These are all ill-gotten gains, we can take them, but we can't take this much for a while, why don't we take some, and let's take the rest at will." It's on fire here."

Wu Song nodded in agreement, and after tearing off the burden and packing some garlic gold, he went to light the torches, while Mu Xu took the opportunity to put three boxes of gold and silver into the Qiankun Pearl, and together with Wu Song, set the four on fire.

When the fire got stronger, the two left the human flesh workshop and returned to the ground shop. Wu Song looked at the people who were still howling, and suggested, "Brother, I'll kill them, so we can hurry on our way."

Speaking of this, he sighed again, "It's a pity that the pair of iron swords that my brother gave me were confiscated by the yamen as a murder weapon. It's really a pity to think about it."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "What should I do? I can talk about other things, but I have everything I need, such as swords, swords and halberds, as well as bows and crossbows. When I go back to Liangshanbo, I can pick them with my brothers."

Wu Song immediately became happy, and was about to thank Mu Xu, but he said again, "It's too cheap to kill these thieves and men like this, so let them stay in the shop and let them perish together with this black shop." Sea of ​​fire."

After finishing speaking, the two ignored the people begging for mercy on the ground, and just stabbed out of the store door with such a big thorn, and stood outside, listening to the screams coming from inside, watching the fire burning the place without changing their expressions. They left here only after the ground was cleared.

After leaving Shizipo, Mu Xu asked Wu Song to stay overnight in a nearby village. He went to Mengzhou City by himself and bought a horse and some clothes for Wu Song from the city. The two of them rode the horse the next morning. Head east.

After doing this for more than ten days, they came to the territory of Daming Mansion. Because of Wu Song's face stabbing, it was inconvenient for the two of them to enter the city. Mu Xu asked someone to find out where Shuanglin Town was, and took Wu Song's path to look for Xu Guanzhong there.

There are quite a few masters in Water Margin, but there are three hermits who left a deep impression on people.They are Xiao Jiasui who lives in Jingnan, Fei Bao who lives in Liuyuzhuang, Taihu Lake, and Xu Guanzhong who lives in seclusion in Shuanglin Town, Daming Mansion.All three of them are gentlemen with knowledge of culture and martial arts, talented national scholars who have seen lofty views, and they saw clearly the ending of Song Jiang and others early in the morning, so they rejected Song Jiang's solicitation.

Let me talk about Xiao Jiasui first. He was a character he met during the conquest of Tian Qing in Liangshan and lived in Jingnan.When Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Pei Xuan were captured and taken to Jingnan, the three would rather die than kneel. Jingnan's pseudo-stay-at-home Liang Yong ordered their legs to be broken, which angered Xiao Jiasui.Xiao Jiasui is talented in literature and martial arts, and he is bold, and everyone in the city befriends him. He triggers an uprising in the city, rescues three people, and welcomes Song Jiang's army.

Later, when Song Jiang thanked Xiao Jiasui, he said that he would play the Son of Heaven and reward him heavily.How did Xiao Jiasui say it? He said that "wealth and life are all in the hands of power and traitors", and he accurately analyzed the situation between the DPRK and China.Xiao Jiasui never thought of being an official, and said that he "has no official responsibility, but he is like a wild crane in the clouds, why can't he fly?"

After that, Xiao Jiasui drifted away even more, but his words influenced more than a dozen heroes like Gongsun Sheng, Yan Qing, Li Jun, etc., allowing them to die well in the end.

Besides, Fei Bao, one of the "Four Heroes of Taihu Lake", lived in Yuliuzhuang, Taihu Lake with Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng.

Fei Bao had already calculated that after Song Jiang and his gang became famous, they would definitely be murdered by treacherous officials, so he suggested to Li Jun in advance, "Gather a few sailors, and find a clean place in the river and sea to settle down for the rest of the year." The law of recruiting security and continuing to fall into the grass is undoubtedly the best way for Li Jun.

After Fang La was wiped out, the three of Li Jun and the Liangshan Brothers ended their friendship.On the way back, Li Jun pretended to have a stroke and begged Song Jiang to leave Tong Wei and Tong Meng to take care of him, and then he went to Yuliu Village to find Fei Bao and the others.They built ships to go to sea, established their own world, and Li Jun became the lord of Siam.Li Jun went to sea again to become king and became a real dragon, all of which came from Fei Bao's achievements.

Finally, let's talk about Xu Guanzhong, he is Yan Qing's old friend, both civil and military.Song Jiang met him when he returned from conquering the Liao Kingdom and passed by Shuanglin Town, and invited him to go to the court with him. Xu Guanzhong refused because he had an old mother at home, but just called Yan Qing home to talk about the old relationship.

Xu Guanzhong rejected Song Jiang because he had already seen through the dictatorship of the traitor party and deceived the emperor.Yan Qing once again persuaded him to become an official in the court at his home. He once again used treachery to rule the country, but he was jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and he refused.Yan Qing nodded and sighed, and since then, Yan Qing has never thought of going to the capital to seek a family background.

The above three people are rare people of insight, not only have a clear mind, but also can see the situation clearly, they are several times stronger than the so-called wisdom stars.But Xiao Jiasui and Fei Bao either don't know where they are, or they are far away, and Mu Xu can't invite them for a while, only Xu Guanzhong is not far away, and is the easiest to see.

When he arrived in Shuanglin Town, Mu Xu asked several people, and found that many people knew Xu Guanzhong, but not many knew his residence.Just when Mu Xu was hesitating whether to go to Yan Qing for recommendation, he accidentally learned from a restaurant that their shop often delivered wine to Xu Guanzhong, so he knew the way there.

Mu Xu was overjoyed immediately, rewarded the restaurant with some money, asked Xu Guanzhong's residence, and rode out of Shuanglin Town with Wu Song, heading for the northwest path.

After passing some villages, forests, and winding roads, we walked for more than ten miles, and came to a land with tall and straight peaks and clear streams. Going further, we turned around several mountain mouths, and came to a valley. However, there are three or four li squares and flat places.Among the trees, two or three thatched cottages can be seen faintly.Inside, there are a few huts facing south by the stream, surrounded by bamboo fences outside the door, half-covered firewood doors, pruned bamboo and green pines, red maple and green cypress, densely forested front and back.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes from outside the fence, a yellow-haired village boy who was feeding chickens inside the bamboo fence hurriedly put down the dustpan in his hand and ran outside the door to stop and watch.

The two came to the front and got off their horses. Mu Xu smiled and asked the boy, "Is this Mr. Xu's residence?"

The boy stared at Mu Xu in a daze, and nodded after a while, but did not say a word. Mu Xu had to ask again, "Mr. is at home. If you are, please tell me that there is a guest." Come and visit."

Before the boy could reply, a person suddenly came out from the house, and asked from a distance, "I don't know where the guest came from, why are you looking for Xiaosheng?"

The two of them looked intently, and saw the man with piercing eyes and two eyebrows.He is seven feet long and short, with three teeth covering his mustache.He wears a black crepe wiping head scarf and a brown sermon uniform with a collar.It is a miscellaneous Lu Gong, with a pair of green cloth shoes with double heads.

Mu Xu knew in his heart that this person must be Xu Guanzhong, so he handed the horse over to Wu Song to take care of him, walked around the boy and entered the courtyard, and when he was five or six meters away from Xu Guanzhong, he bowed down and praised,

"Mu Xu in Lower Liangshan, I have heard of Mr. Xian's name for a long time, and I am here to pay a special visit today!"

Xu Guanzhong was stunned, quickly returned a salute, and said, "It's actually Mu Zhaizhu's side, Xiaosheng was rude, please come in with that good man quickly."

As he spoke, he ordered the boy to lead the horse to the back of the hut to find some fodder to feed him. He personally led Mu Xu and the two of them to the hut on the east side of the room, and invited them to sit on the ground, pouring tea and saying,

"Small house in the mountains, the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

It was okay for the two of them to talk together, and then Guan Zhong asked, "The village master is not in Shandong to do justice for the sky, how did he get to Daming Mansion, and where did he know about Xiao Ke?"

Mu Xu first told about Wu Song, and Xu Guanzhong sighed for a while, and said, "I heard about Mr.'s name by chance. I passed by the Daming Mansion this time, and I came here to pay a visit. Please give me your advice."

Xu Guanzhong said, "Xiaosheng is just a villager with little knowledge, how dare he talk nonsense in front of the village master?"

"Sir, why did you say such self-effacing words? It's the so-called sage left in the wilderness. I'm here to ask for advice sincerely. Please don't refuse, sir!" Mu Xu got up and saluted solemnly, and replied sternly.
