The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 380
After a few days, there was no news from Bangyuan, apparently standing still, but Tong Guan returned to Hangzhou at this moment.

Tong Guanzhi was very proud of his great achievements in regaining eastern Zhejiang. He wrote a memorial and reported it to Tokyo long ago.

Especially when we arrived in Taizhou, before the army arrived, the Taizhou defender led the crowd to kneel on the side of the road to beg for surrender. I have never fought such a comfortable battle.

Zhao Tong was a little puzzled. Fang La's army was different from other rebel troops. It was the root of Mingjiao. He came from Jiangning, and even if he captured some people, he never surrendered lightly.

And being able to be a state guard must be a long-standing pillar in the Ming Cult, why did he surrender without even firing a knife or a shot?If you can't defend the city, you can at least escape. How can you betray and obey so easily?

However, Zhao Tong thought that Tong Guan's eyes were poisonous, and his temperament was quite suspicious, so he should not be deceived.

Tong Guan saw his doubts and explained: "My lord, this guard is the green forest on Jingdong Road. He joined the Devil's Sect not long ago. Because of his high martial arts skills, he was reused by Fang Qifo. He doesn't have much affiliation with the Devil's Sect. I have a deep relationship with him." chat, but he also has a lot of insight into the military formation, and he is loyal to my Song Dynasty, but he just hates Zhu Yu for harming the country and the people."

Zhao Tong glanced at Tong Guan suspiciously, this is not like his behavior, Tong Guan is proud and rarely praises others, let alone a green forest who is kneeling and begging for surrender?The last time he publicly praised others, it was Ma Zhi brought back from Lugou.

Tong Guan smiled shyly at this time: "My lord, this person has excellent bones and a solid foundation in martial arts. I...have accepted him as a disciple."

"Huh?!" Zhao Tun was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, squinted his eyes and said, "Did the Taoist accept this person as his disciple?"

Tong Guan nodded and said: "That's right. I listened to the good words of the prince and felt that the matter of accepting apprentices should not be delayed any longer, so I hurriedly searched for the mantle and kept an eye on all kinds of people. He is very talented, suitable for my martial arts."

Zhao Tong said with a half-smile, "This person can voluntarily do that palace work to learn how to turn the sun needle? Although he is a subdued general, it is not beautiful to force him."

There was a knowing smile on Tong Guan's face: "My lord, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and injured his meridians, so he can learn how to turn the sun needle without having to do that palace work!"

Zhao Tun: "Oh?!"

Tong Guan explained: "My lord, he started practicing martial arts at a young age. Because of his youthful recklessness, he harmed his body, resulting in no fire in the strange meridian, and all the six meridians are yin. He can directly practice the next day without all the troubles of the palace. Needle martial arts."

Zhao Tun nodded, thinking, "What's your name?"

Tong Guandao: "This man is called Mu Shuang, nicknamed Leopard Chou, a native of Xingren Prefecture in Jingdong."

"Mu Shuang..." Zhao Tang thought for a while, "It's a gratifying and congratulatory event for Taoist priests to accept apprentices. You might as well call them here for this king to have a look at, and you should also get to know them, knowing that they came from your sect, so as not to cause misunderstandings when you meet in the future. alright."

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard the words, Zhao Tun was acknowledging his own status as a disciple, with this kind of relationship, he might not be able to take care of him, this is a great thing for his disciples.

He hastily sent someone to call for him, and Zhao Tun sat on a chair and waited quietly.

After a while, I saw Tong Guan's subordinates leading a tall and tall man into the hall. Seeing the two of them, their shoulders slumped slightly, showing a respectful look.

Zhao Tang looked at this person up and down, but he was tall and strong, with strong arms and waists, but he wore a golden mask on his face, so he couldn't tell what his real face was.

Zhao Tong felt a little familiar for no reason, as if he had seen this person somewhere before.

Tong Guan said at this time: "Bao Chou, why don't you meet His Royal Highness King Qin!"

The man hastily knelt down on the ground, paid respects, and said hoarsely: "The sinner Mu Shuang, I have seen His Highness for thousands of years!"

Zhao Tun looked at him: "Why cover your face?"

Tong Guan explained from the side: "My lord, this wooden pair is ruthless. He was disfigured by the green forest group on Jingdong Road. Then he ran to the south of the Yangtze River to join the Demon Cult. He couldn't see people with his face, so he covered it with a mask."

Zhao Tong nodded, and said calmly, "Take off the mask and show it to me."

Mu Shuang hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, then raised his hand and took off the golden mask.

Zhao Tang looked and saw countless scars on his face, even his eyebrows were half-glowed, he was as hideous as a Shura.

He frowned: "This is really a pity."

Mu Shuang hurriedly put on the mask again, and replied: "I have offended the lord, the villain is guilty, although the villain is disfigured, I hope to learn from General Nirvana to cover up and kill the enemy!"

Zhao Tong said: "It's a good thing to want to learn from Di Wuxiang, but I don't know, why did you go to the bandits at first, and now beg for surrender?"

Mu Shuangdao: "Criminals were born in Jianghu and acted recklessly. Only after joining the Devil's Cult did they realize that they wanted to rebel, but they couldn't withdraw. They had to wait for the officers and soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty to come and lead them to surrender."

Zhao Tong said: "Since you are born in the green forest and grass, you really want to serve the country?"

Mu Shuang kowtowed and said, "I am humble and dare not forget my country!"

Zhao Tun looked at him for a moment, then nodded: "Get up."

Hearing this, Mu Shuang got up and stood beside Tong Guan cautiously.

Zhao Tang felt that this wooden pair was a bit strange, he looked familiar, but his face was ruined, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Since this man is the general of the Taizhou bandit army, it should be true that he later joined the Ming religion because of his high martial arts skills and was reused by Fang Qifo. After all, the soldiers who followed him can prove it.

But the name of this person is debatable. As far as Zhao Tong knows, there is indeed no one named Mu Shuang among the leaders of the Ming Cult, but this cannot be guaranteed to be true. After all, he defected to Fang La later and changed his The name is also unknown.

However, Zhao Tang didn't care too much. After all, this was Tong Guan's own business. Eastern Zhe County had been recovered, and it had nothing to do with him whether Tong Guan picked up a disciple. Take it upon yourself.

As for whether this person is a spy who came in from the Ming Sect, Zhao Tong believed that Tong Guan would be able to find out by himself. The crowd is an example.

After talking for a while, Tong Guan got up to say goodbye, and Mu Shuang followed him out of the government office, and then he let out a long breath.

This Mu Shuang is none other than Lin Chong. Fang Qifo entrusted Taizhou to him. He also wanted to guard it carefully. From then on, he managed it well in Fang La's pilgrimage, laid down a foundation, and slowly built prosperity and wealth.

A man is born between heaven and earth, and his husband is proud and proud, and the worst is to start all over again.

But what I didn't expect was that Fang La's army was defeated like a mountain, and even Fang Qifo was nowhere to be found. Seeing that the Zhoucheng on Zhedong Road was taken down by Tong Guan, and only Taizhou was left alone, he knew that this time his family was in trouble again. I have lost my ambition in vain, and my wish is about to become empty again.

Hu Sanniang advised him to abandon the city and flee, or go to Xianju to join Lu Shinang, or go to Lingnan to avoid disaster, and come back after the incident in the south of the Yangtze River subsides.

But he was not willing, after thinking about it in every possible way, he came up with a plan to destroy his face and beg for peace.

Anyway, apart from Fang Lafang and the Seven Buddhas, no one knew his true identity, had seen his true face, and now that his appearance was destroyed, even acquaintances in Tokyo would not be able to recognize him.

Hu Sanniang didn't want Lin Chong to do such a tragedy, but it was useless to persuade him. She watched him destroy his face with a knife, and almost fainted from crying.

Lin Chong ignored it, he knew how to convince Tong Guan, turned around and killed many Mingjiao veterans in the city, there were hundreds of heads, and then he knelt in front of the city gate to beg for surrender.

Unexpectedly, after Tong Guan carefully interrogated him, he actually asked about martial arts, touched his muscles and bones, and finally proposed to accept him as a disciple.

This is what Lin Chong did not expect. His original intention is that it doesn't matter whether he surrendered or surrendered. He has long been tired of running around all these years. He was thinking about returning to Tokyo with the Song army after surrendering. , and may be a part-time official.

He was overjoyed when he heard that, becoming Tong Guan's disciple would undoubtedly increase his chances of killing Gao Lian, and in this way he could gain a firm foothold in Tokyo.

So he immediately agreed. As for Tong Guan's so-called entry from the palace, Lin Chong didn't care, and told about his own situation and the secret wounds he had suffered since childhood.

Tong Guan was also happy, he fell in love with Lin Chong, and was still thinking about how to persuade him to self-mutilate his body to do that palace thing, it's not easy to do it by force, after all, this is to pass on the mantle.

Then Tong Guan checked his body carefully again, and found out that the eight meridians of the extraordinary meridians are all yin and no fire, and he can practice the sun-turning acupuncture without going to the palace. until returning to Hangzhou.

Lin Chong was thinking about these things as he walked outside the government office. He felt a little unable to face Zhao Tun. This is a difficult thing in life!

But he is no longer the leopard head who left Tokyo in shackles and chains back then, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he would see him as soon as he saw him, as long as he didn't show his flaws.

Zhao Tang didn't ask too many questions, he thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with his answer, except for the name Mu Shuang.

If someone thought about this name, it would be easy to think of the word Lin, but it cannot be changed at this moment. When discussing a pseudonym at that time, how could they have expected the change today.

Lin Chong felt a little annoyed, and thought that Zhao Tun should not be regarded as a caring person, Gao Qiu and Song Jiang were the ones, and Zhao Tun would not be able to figure out the authenticity of his name from this.

After sending Tong Guan back to the mansion, Lin Chong also went back. He and Hu Sanniang were living in a big tent outside the city. Although it was a military tent, but because their identities were different now, they were Tong Guan's disciples. Tong Guan's adoptive son Gan'er, so Xin Xingzong and others arranged for him a general tent, which is not only big, but also has everything in it.

Seeing him coming in, Hu Sanniang hurriedly stood up inside and said in a low voice, "Have you seen King Qin?"

Lin Chong nodded, then turned around and raised the curtain to look around, then said, "It's going well."

Hu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and picked up the kettle to make tea, Lin Chong said: "Young lady, don't be busy, come here and have a rest, I'm not thirsty."

Hu Sanniang said: "The weather is hot, you can drink it after it is cooked."

Lin Chong sighed: "It's hard work, my lady. I owe my lady too much. When I go to Tokyo to settle down, I can hire a few more maids and maids, so I don't have to worry about my wife's hard work. I just need to enjoy my life quietly."

Hu Sanniang smiled when she heard the words, and walked out of the tent with a water bottle...
