The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 368

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of October, and after noon, Mu Xu and the others boarded the wupeng passenger boat that Li Jun had prepared in advance, and the Tong family brothers acted as boatmen, and sailed down the Xunyang River towards Jiangzhou City.

After traveling for about half an hour, the boat came to the outside of Jiangzhou City. There was a magnificent restaurant on the bank. On a plaque outside the eaves, there are three characters "Xunyang Tower" written by Su Dongpo himself.

Li Jun tied the boat to the side, waited for a few people to go ashore, and asked, "Brother, do you really need me to accompany you in?"

Wu Song followed suit, "Yes, if that Fang La has malicious intentions..."

Mu Xu interrupted Wu Song by raising his hand, and said, "If I take you there, wouldn't it make people look down upon you? Besides, we have to talk about business today, so it's not appropriate to have too many people present. You just leave someone waiting downstairs, and the rest Just go and have fun nearby."

After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back and led Zhu Wu Shiran into the Xunyang Tower.

Fang stepped over the threshold, and before the bartender came to greet him, he saw Fang Jie standing at the stairs on the second floor and shouted, "Officer Mu is here!"

The two of Mu Xu came upstairs in search of sound, Fang Jie made a gesture of please, and said in a low voice, "My uncle has been waiting for a long time, please come here." After saying that, he took the two of them to a nearby place. Jiang's pavilion.

As soon as Mu Xu entered the pavilion, he couldn't help being surprised, why?It turned out that there was actually a man and a woman there. They were standing in front of a wall at the moment, looking at something with relish, and when they heard someone coming, they looked at the door at the same time, and Mu Xu finally saw their faces clearly.

Needless to say, this man is undoubtedly that Fang La.He was born in his forties, but his appearance is quite similar to Chao Gai's, with big ears and a rough face, but his whole body has the aura of a superior person, obviously he has been in the upper class for a long time.

As for that woman, Zesheng was tall and slender, with an unusually delicate face and a hint of heroism in her brows, and she and Hu Sanniang were both good at each other.

After all, Mu Xu was well-informed, he was only a little taken aback, then immediately came back to his senses, clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Mu is a step late, please forgive Master Fang!"

Fang La laughed loudly, and replied, "Where is it, someone Fang came early, after all, I am also a half-landlord, so I should have come to wait for Brother Mu earlier."

The two met each other and introduced the accompanying personnel, and it was only then that Mu Xu knew that the woman in front of her was Fang Baihua, Fang La's younger sister.

Hearing that this woman is Fang Baihua, Mu Xu couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This woman doesn't appear much in Water Margin, but in the official history, she is well-known.

After the Fangla Uprising, Fang Baihua served as the marshal of the rebel army. In the battle, he wiped out [-] troops of Song generals Cai Zun and Yan Dan, occupied Qingxi, and together with Fangla, crossed Wuyue and captured Huizhou, Hangzhou and other six states. The county controls most of Jiangnan and Zhejiang.Fang Baihua once served as a general in the Mantou Mountain of Fengshan Gate in Hangzhou. She was heroic and powerful, and she was very popular with the soldiers of the rebel army.

It can be said that this woman is a real heroine who is not inferior to Fang La's men, such as Shi Bao. Mu Xu will not underestimate her because she is a woman.Therefore, I solemnly saluted him.

Seeing that Mu Xu treated her equally, Fang Baihua felt a three-point affection in his heart, then looked Mu Xu up and down with his beautiful eyes, and then returned the salute with his fists in a very manly manner.Not only was this move not at all awkward, but rather heroic.

After seeing the ceremony, Fang La and Zhu Wu did not ask Mu Xu to sit down, but pointed to the wall and said,

"Earlier I heard that there was an extravagant hero in Yuncheng, Shandong Province. His surname was Song and his name was Jiang. People in Jianghu called him Timely Rain. In the past, I only thought that he was just trying to catch fame. Who would have thought that after reading his poems today, he would know that this person is also a member of my generation. "

Mu Xu looked along Fang La's hand, but saw a word and a poem on the wall.Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking its minions to endure.Unfortunately, the tattooed cheeks are worthy of being in Jiangzhou.If he had to avenge his revenge in his youth, the mouth of the Xunyang River would be stained with blood.

The poem is a seven-character quatrain: the heart is in Shandong, the body is in Wu, and the rivers and seas are fluttering.If he had Ling Yunzhi at the time, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a husband.

The inscription reads five characters: Song Jiangzuo, Yuncheng.

After watching it, Mu Xu shook his head and laughed, "I don't think that a cautious person like Song Gongming will have a day of talking wildly."

Listening to Mu Xu's tone, Fang La seemed to look down on Song Jiang, so she asked curiously, "Listen to what my brother said, isn't Song Jiang the same person?"

"Haha, of course Song Gongming is not. I have met him a few times, and I know a little bit about him. Don't look at the fact that this poem is written to imitate Huang Chao's meaning. In fact, all he wants is to work for the Zhao official family. Why? Will it be someone in my generation?"

As soon as Fang La heard Mu Xu's words, she immediately put aside the thought of wanting to befriend Song Jiang, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, if that's the case, then show off here, so I'm not afraid of ridicule by the world!"

Fang Baihua suddenly interjected, "Master Mu must be a person who is willing to listen to words and martial arts, why don't you write a poem to suppress Song Gongming's arrogance!"

Mu Xu was about to refuse, but he accidentally saw that Fang Baihua's little girl had a smile in her eyes, and she didn't know that she was thinking of making a joke in her heart, so he changed his mind immediately and said with a smile, "Then I'll make a fool of myself Yes, please write and write."

Fang Jie, who was guarding the door, immediately responded when he heard the words, went to the store to ask for a pen and ink, and brought it to Mu Xu in person.

The moment Fang Jie left, Mu Xu thought of a poem that fit the occasion, and he cried out inwardly, "Oh, I didn't expect that I would be a civil servant one day."

Fang La and the others didn't know what Mu Xu was thinking, they only saw Mu Xu standing there for a long while, and then they wrote a poem about chrysanthemum like a dragon and a snake, saying: "When the flowers bloom, I don't bloom. If I do, I will be scared to death."If you want to fight against the west wind, you should wear golden armor all over your body.

"Good poem, good poem, Brother Mu has great ambition!" Fang La clapped her hands and applauded, admiring the grandeur of it.

Zhu Wu also followed suit, and although Fang Baihua glared at Mu Xu with a blushing face, she admired Mu Xu's quick wit. It echoes Song Jiang's poem, and what's more rare is that there is a domineering arrogance in it.

Mu Xu was a little embarrassed by Fang La and Zhu Wu's praise, and hurriedly became humble. He knew his own family affairs. Although he had learned poetry from Daiyu and others in his previous life, he really didn't have the talent for this. I was so anxious that I had to use the poems of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to make up the number.

"Okay, Brother Fang, don't flatter my younger brother, how about we talk about business?"

"Alright, then let's sit down and talk, Jie'er, you stay outside and don't allow anyone to disturb you!" Fang La nodded, asked Mu Xu to sit down, and asked Fang Jie to be in charge.

"Brother Fanmu asked Jie Er to take it, is there a specific regulation?" As soon as he sat down, Fang La took the lead.

Mu Xu smiled lightly, "That depends on when your sect will make trouble?"

"This..." Fang La hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell the truth, after all, it involved such a big matter as the rebellion, no matter how cautious he was, he couldn't be too cautious.After thinking for a long time, he said vaguely, "It should be in the past few years."

Mu Xu frowned, and said in displeasure, "Brother Fang, I didn't come all the way to Jiangnan to play dumb with you!"

Fang Baihua came out to rescue his brother, "Then dare to ask Mu Zhaizhu when to do it?"

Mu Xu resolutely said, "It will be next year if it is fast, and the year after that if it is slow. Once you are ready, you will definitely act decisively without any hesitation."

Fang La's eyes lit up, "How does Brother Mu want to cooperate with us?"

"You and I are located in the north and the south, and there will be no conflicts in the short term. Therefore, what I mean is that we can agree in advance that we will work together at that time. Not only can we echo each other from a distance, but we can also attack the north and the south at critical moments, giving the Song court A heavy blow."

"What if Da Song is destroyed?"

Mu Xu sneered inwardly, no wonder this Fang La failed to rebel no matter in the official history or in the Water Margin. How could he start caring about who is sitting in the world before the horoscope is written?
