The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 361 Unexpectedly
Chao Gai didn't know what he said, let alone what Song Jiang thought, at least in Wu Yong's heart, he was completely disappointed in him, and he became more determined to draw Song Jiang into the gang.

And Song Jiang also felt uncomfortable being blocked, and he couldn't speak out the privacy in his heart, so he had to say insincerely,

"Then Murong Yanda is the uncle of the country. Once the news of his death is reported to the capital, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court. My younger brother is worried that the court will send troops to attack, and it will inevitably lead to disaster."

Unexpectedly, Chao Gai laughed out loud when he heard the words, "Haha, which one of us heroes has never been oppressed by corrupt officials. If the imperial court wants to send troops, just come. Chao will be waiting for you at Qingfeng Mountain."

Mu Xu clearly saw that the faces of Song Jiang and Wu Yong changed color in an instant, and they returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Wu Yong also praised, "Brother is so proud, Xiaosheng admires it."

As Wu Yong's words fell, all the leaders of Qingfeng Mountain all spoke in unison to praise, and Mu Xu also joined in a few lively words. He was more and more sure at this time that once Song Jiang fell into the grass, Chao Gai would not be far from death.

Take the original book as an example, whoever believes that Chao Gai died under Shi Wengong's arrow is a fool, and Shi Wengong has so much free time to carve his name on the arrow.

It is estimated that before Chao Gai died, he knew in his heart who killed him, otherwise why would he leave the last words, saying that whoever killed Shi Wengong is the Lord of Liangshan.

After all, before and after Song Jiang fell into grass, Chao Gai repeatedly showed a gesture of giving way to Song Jiang, but when he was dying, he didn't mention it. Is this reasonable?
It can be said that Chao Gai was actually forced to die step by step by Song Jiang. The reason why he wanted to attack Zengtou City was because he realized that he had been emptied out. A victory, to prove to the world that he is the top leader in Liangshan.

It's a pity that Chao Gai woke up too late in the original text. At that time, most of the leaders in Liangshanbo had turned to Song Jiang. This can be seen from the leaders Chao Gai brought when he set off.

Fortunately, Chao Gai's series of performances today showed that he was not defenseless against Song Jiang.Therefore, Mu Xu sincerely hoped that the two of them could have an evenly matched battle in this life, so that Song Jiang's strength would not develop too fast and ruin his own event.

Gossip aside, on that day Chao Gai hosted a banquet for Mu Xu and the others at Murong Yanda's residence as a landlord.During the dinner, after thanking Mu Xu again for his help, Chao Gai asked how the spoils will be distributed.

Mu Xu thought for a moment, and said something unexpected, "I came here for Brother Hua Rong. Now that my goal has been achieved, how can I be greedy and ask for property? I won't take anything from Qingzhou, and I will return it to Qingfeng." All the mountains are."

Mu Xu's words can be described as glorious and brilliant, and everyone at the scene was moved, especially Hua Rong, who was so moved that he couldn't help but say, "Brother, how is this..."

"My dear brother, don't talk too much, I have my own opinion on this matter!" Mu Xu raised his hand and stopped Hua Rong from continuing.

Chao Gai also came back to his senses at this moment, and quickly declined, "It's absolutely impossible. This time, we can break through Qingzhou City in one fell swoop, thanks to Brother Mu's efforts. If all the benefits are taken by my brothers, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?" ?”

Mu Xu shook his head, glanced at Song Jiang, and said, "King Chao Tian, ​​please listen to me. Brother Song Gongming's worries just now may not be unfounded. As far as I know, the noble concubine Murong is very popular with the Zhao family. If you are killed, you will definitely not let it go.

In this way, Qingfeng Mountain will definitely be conquered by the imperial army.Chao Tianwang's most urgent task is to expand his strength, and to expand his strength, what he needs most is money and food.Therefore, the capture of Qingzhou City should be left to Guizhai to recruit troops. "

Wu Yong didn't guess what Mu Xu was thinking for a moment, but he still persuaded him, "Brother, this is a golden and jaded word from Master Mu, you'd better think twice."

Compared with Wu Yong's hypocrisy, Gongsun Sheng's words are more pleasing to the ear. He first clasped his fist at Mu Xu and said, "Brother Mu's righteousness is so righteous, and his reputation spreads all over the world. It is admirable to regard money as dung."

Then, he said to Chao Gai, "The two elder brothers are well-known figures in the world, and Liangshanbo and Qingfeng Mountain are not far away, so we should watch out for each other and help each other. Brother Mu is willing to lend a helping hand when Qingfeng Mountain is in trouble today." , Liang Shanbo will be in trouble some other day, can't we just help out with all our strength?"

Mu Xu smiled and nodded towards Gongsun Sheng. Although he had other plans in his mind, he had to admit that Gongsun Sheng was really extraordinary, and he couldn't help feeling good about him.If it wasn't for the fact that he was Chao Gai's right-hand man, Mu Xu couldn't help but speak out to solicit him.

After repeated persuasion by Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, Chao Gai also began to waver, but he always boasted that he was very loyal, and he was unwilling to say anything, so he thought of a compromise and said,
"Since Brother Mu said so, then Chao is ashamed to accept it, but the brothers can't let it go for nothing. How about this, the brothers who accompanied Brother Mu on the expedition this time will reward each of them with twenty guan as military salary. Then, from the captured horses, set aside [-] horses and give them to Brother Mu, to show your heart, what do you think brother will like?"

Mu Xu thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse, and immediately said, "Then I would like to thank Chao Tianwang for his kindness, but my brother is so disrespectful."

Seeing that Mu Xu didn't refuse, Chao Gai immediately became happy, and repeatedly ordered everyone to toast, and Mu Xu never refused to come, causing everyone to applaud from time to time.

After the banquet, Mu Xu politely declined Chao Gai's proposal to invite him to stay in the city, and set up camp outside the city with his troops.

Just after midnight, Mu Xu was resting in bed, when he suddenly heard voices outside the tent, he immediately got up and asked, "Who is making noise outside?"

There was a silence outside the tent, and then Shi Qian said back, "Brother, Song Gongming just came to see Brother Huarong, and the two of them had a secret conversation in the tent for more than half an hour."

Mu Xu was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly put on his outer robe, intending to test Huarong's tone, but when he came outside the tent, he suddenly stopped, and secretly said,

"Song Jiang came to see Hua Rong, nine out of ten he wanted to continue wooing him. But now that there is more of me, and because of Hua Rong today, I have turned down such a rich spoils of war, Hua Rong will definitely not let me down.

Instead of going to see Huarong and making him suspect that I don't trust him, it's better to pretend that I don't know about it, which can also show my capacity. "

Having figured this out, Mu Xu immediately turned around and turned back. Shi Qian didn't understand what he meant, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother, what is this?"

Mu Xu beckoned Shi Qian to come closer, and then whispered, "You don't need to pay attention to Brother Hua Xian, I have other things for you to do."

"Brother please show me, my younger brother will definitely do it properly."

"Starting tomorrow, you send people to spread the word, saying that the reason why Qingfeng Mountain attacked Qingzhou City this time is to save Song Jiang's life. Remember, be sure to tell me about this matter, especially the government. There, don’t miss it.”

Shi Qian clasped his fists and replied, "Little brother understands, let's arrange suitable candidates."

After watching Shi Qian leave, Mu Xu sneered, and said to himself, "Song Heizi, if you want to bet on both ends, there is no such thing as such a cheap good thing. You should go ahead and recruit for safety."

Back in the tent, Mu Xu simply put on his clothes and slept, waiting for Huarong to come, he believed that Huarong would not let him down.Sure enough, after more than half an hour, Mu Xu heard someone coming outside the big tent and asked the guards in a low voice, "Did brother ever rest?"

Without waiting for the guard to answer, Mu Xu said loudly, "But Brother Hua Xian is here, please come in and talk!"

The person outside the tent was Hua Rong, he responded in a low voice, then opened the curtain, walked in, and saluted Mu Xu, "Brother is disturbing my rest at night, please forgive me!"

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Why are we brothers so outspoken? Sit down and talk quickly." After speaking, he went to the bed, poured two cups of tea, and pushed Huarong a cup, and then casually asked,

"Brother Xian came to see me at this time, but do you have something important to say?"
