Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After the command set up a suspicious formation, the hero put on his armor and went into the valley single-handedly to save people.

"He is really a hero!" Jiao Ting, Shi Yong and others praised in unison.

Ximen Qing and Xin Zan looked at each other, and they both turned to the general riding up from behind.

Ximenqing was the first to cross his hands and salute: "Thank you for your help! I met a hero in Ximenqing, Yanggu County, Xiayunzhou!"

Seeing that Ximen Qing saluted him, the horse-riding general quickly got off his horse, saluted Ximen Qing back, and said, "You are an officer of Ximen! I can't be a hero! Listen to your servant, you only have to bring an official Ximen The two dared to rush into hundreds of thieves to save people, this is a real hero! When I dived into the valley just now to investigate, I also saw the heroic figure of the Ximen official wielding a pair of knives and fighting against the thieves, I really admire it."

The general clasped his fists and looked at Ximen Qing, his expression of admiration was beyond words, not like hypocrisy.

Ximen Qing couldn't help but feel a little proud of being praised by such a fierce general with high martial arts skills.

Ahaha~ Unexpectedly, such a fierce general is also impressed by the charm of my official Ximen!Am I already showing my arrogance?Hehe, you can't let this fierce person know that I was impulsive when I saw a beautiful woman and lost my mind before I went in!That's right, it's safe now, shouldn't it be time to see the beauties rescued by my Ximen officials?

Ximen Qing's mind had already flown into the carriage behind him.

At this time, Xin Zan took a step forward and bowed to salute, and asked the general: "Xin Zan in Xiali City, thank you for the hero's kindness! As far as I know, there is no Zhao Tijuan in Qizhou. Dare I ask the benefactor's name?" Who, what is the family name?"

Ximen Qing also pricked up his ears when he heard Xin Zan's words, and looked curiously at the silver-armored general in front of him.It turns out that this person is not a military officer in Qizhou. Does this person have some other background?

The general took off the silver helmet on his head, revealing a heroic face, looked at Xin Zan and Ximen Qing with piercing eyes and said: "To tell you the truth, I am not an officer of the Qizhou Imperial Army, but a wanderer." A warrior from the rivers and lakes. I was just here to frighten the bandits in the valley, so I had no choice but to claim to be an officer and commander of Zhao Yu. The two officials, I am from Yazhou, surnamed Luan and surnamed Tingyu, I have met two officials!"

"Brother Luan is really a hero! I will never forget Brother Luan's life-saving grace today! I also invite Brother Luan to accompany me back to the village for a story." Xin Zan respectfully invited the general Luan Tingyu to return to Xinjiazhuang in Licheng with him.

Luan Tingyu?Luan Tingyu!Did I hear you right?It's Luan Tingyu!Luan Tingyu is standing right in front of me?Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment.

This is really nowhere to be found, and it takes no effort to get it!How could this, this Luan Tingyu appear in Jinan Prefecture, Qizhou?

Ximenqing couldn't suppress his excitement, so he rushed forward and took Luan Tingyu's hand and asked, "Hero, you, you are carrying the 'iron stick' Luan Tingyu? Why are you in Jinan Mansion, Qizhou?"

Luan Tingyu replied in surprise: "Your official, I am indeed Luan Tingyu from Yazhou! The name 'Iron Cudgel' is a different name given to me by people from the countryside when I was studying martial arts. How can I hear about it? One day, I took a sea boat from Yazhou to Dengzhou, and went to visit my younger brother, Sun Li, who was under the command of Dengzhou soldiers, and stayed with him for some days. Now I am going to travel in Shandong and Hebei, and then go to Bianliang, Tokyo I walked once, so I passed by Jinan Prefecture, Qizhou. I have just arrived on Jingdong East Road, and my reputation is not well known. How could the high officials know that I am here?"

"Brother Luan is too modest! Brother Luan is too modest! Brother Luan is highly skilled in martial arts and has undeserved courage. Brother Luan's name has long been spread in the rivers and lakes. How can I not know this brother! Brother Luan, my brother is Ximenqing in Yanggu County, Yunzhou. Little brother I have been longing to make friends with Brother Luan for a long time, I hope Brother Luan can accompany me to Yanggu County for a few days." Ximen Qing held Luan Tingyu's hand and refused to let go, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Luan Tingyu in front of him would go away against the wind.

"It turned out to be a senior official from Ximen, it's a pleasure to meet you! The senior official from Ximen is a real hero, a real man! Dare I refuse to obey the invitation of a senior official?" Luan Tingyu replied sincerely to Ximen Qing.

Seeing Ximenqing's enthusiasm for Luan Tingyu, Xin Zan's heart stopped wanting to accept Luan Tingyu.

It seems that my savior, brother Ximen, also wants to befriend Luan Yingxiong, but I can't be ungrateful and fight with him.Forget it, I will give some more gifts to Brother Ximen and Yingxiong Luan to show my sincerity in making friends with them.My Xin Zan's knowledge is still far inferior to that of Ximen Ximen. I didn't know that there was such a hero Luan Tingyu in Jianghu!Ashamed, ashamed...

"The two heroes are so sympathetic! Why don't you invite the two heroes to my village, let me be the host, and it's not too late for the two heroes to have a detailed discussion!" Xin Zan put away his self-ashamed heart and said to Ximen. Qing and Luan Tingyu sent invitations.

Chapter 32 Cabbage is Always Hit by Pigs

Faced with Xin Zan's warm invitation, Ximen Qing readily accepted it.

The depression of not finding Shi Wengong in Zengtou City has disappeared because of today's bloody battle in the valley and the unexpected encounter with Luan Tingyu.Ximen Qing is in a good mood now, and is looking for a place to have a feast, and have a good chat with that hero Luan Tingyu.

After today's tough battle, Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting, and Shi Yong were covered in the blood of thieves, their stomachs were rumbling, and they really needed to find a place to take a bath and rest.

In this era, is there any hotel on the road that can compare to the luxury and comfort of the manor of a local tyrant like Xin Zan?Wouldn't it be crazy not to go to Xinjiazhuang to enjoy it at this time?I just don't know if Xin Zan is lustful or not, and how many beautiful maids are there in the mansion?Can you arrange a few senior officials to serve me, Ximen?

Thinking of the beautiful little maid, Ximen Qing's mind drifted into the two carriages again.

Luan Tingyu is now wandering the world, his home is all over the world, and he doesn't need to hurry, so naturally he will not refuse Xin Zan's kind invitation.Seeing that Ximen Qing agreed, he nodded in agreement.

Xin Zan was overjoyed, and immediately arranged for a servant to ride back to Xinjiazhuang to report the news and let the village make preparations.

At this moment, a man's voice came from the carriage not far from Xin Zan and the others: "Brother Xin Xian, the thief has already left? Let's go back to the city quickly!" The voice trembled slightly, obviously the people in the carriage were still there He has not recovered from the horror of being attacked by robbers.

"Brother Defu, don't worry, those thieves have already been chased away by these heroes. Today, the younger brother didn't take good care of him, which surprised Brother Defu and his wife! Thanks to the help of brothers Ximen and Luan, the younger brother got The two guards are Zhou Quan. Brother Defu, may you come out and meet these heroes?"

"Brother Xin Xian, you, you have thanked a few heroes for me first. My, my legs are really numb and weak, and I can't stand up. After I return home, I will thank the heroes again." A voice came from inside the car. Weak voice.

Hearing these words from the man in the car, Ximen Qing felt serious contempt in his heart.Who is the man in this car!This person sounded like a softie, already frightened by the robbers, his feet were so soft that he couldn't even come out to meet people.Thinking of this, Xin Zan is also considered a good man with outstanding martial arts, courage and insight, how did he make friends with such a courageous person?

Just as Ximen Qing was secretly cursing, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.I saw a woman with a beautiful face and gorgeous clothes getting out of the car.Ximen Qing looked carefully. This woman was exactly the one he had seen in the valley through the curtain of the car window.

"It's Madam Sister-in-law!" Xin Zan stepped forward to meet her.

"Sister! Sister, wait for me!" In another carriage, a beautiful woman got out with the help of a maid.

"Ma'am, be careful!" Xin Zan hurried over and helped the woman who came out from behind to get out of the car.

Mrs. sister-in-law?When Ximen Qing heard this title, his mood suddenly became unhappy.Grass!My uncle Ximen spent a long time, but the rescued beauty is actually a married woman?Could it be that this beauty married the soft-legged shrimp in the car who was too scared to move?

Hey, no matter how good the cabbage is, the pigs have made it!Although it is the Northern Song Dynasty now, there is no Confucianism, and the husband can remarry after a woman dies, but the pig in the car is not dead, and the cabbage is not my uncle Ximen's share!

Listen to the sound, that pig is not old, who knows how long the life of that pig is?I can't add a handful of arsenic to its feed like the predecessor!

What kind of "Dangerous God" is Yu Baosi called?Why can't even kill that pig in the valley with hundreds of people?That Yu Baosi is really a wimp, a shameful scum of the bandit world!No wonder he was reduced to carrying wooden stakes in the future!

With resentment, the official Ximen Qing began to think again.

"My concubine, Mrs. Li, has seen the two heroes! Thank you two heroes for saving me today! My husband is not feeling well, so I can't come out to thank the two heroes for the time being. I hope the two heroes will forgive me." Smiling, he bowed to Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu, and said softly.

This woman is bold!Just now in the valley, she secretly opened the window screen to watch us fight with the thieves, not as useless as her husband.Ximen Qing thought to himself while returning the gift.

"My concubine, Mrs. Cui, has seen two good men! Thank you two good men for helping my husband disperse the gang of thieves and save my sister and my sister's family." Xin Zan's wife also came over with his support, and greeted Ximen Qinghe. Luan Tingyu saluted and thanked him.

"Sister-in-law is serious!" Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu hastily returned the salute, but Ximen Qing's gaze was secretly fixed on the woman from the Li family.

After the woman from the Li family moved forward to thank Jiao Ting and Shi Yong, she returned to the carriage.At the moment when the door curtain of the carriage was lifted, she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, she glanced back at Ximen Qing, covered her mouth with her sleeve and got into the carriage.

Why do I feel that the woman turned her head and peeked at me, the position is a bit wrong?Ximen Qing scratched his head suspiciously.

After Xin Zan helped his wife back into the carriage, he, together with Ximen Qing, Luan Tingyu and others, escorted the two carriages back to Licheng.

Along the way, Xin Zan talked endlessly with Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu, and introduced the situation of his Xinjiazhuang to them.

It turned out that Xin Zan also came from a family of officials. His great-grandfather was Xin Weiye, the eighteenth grandson of Xin Liang, the son of Xin Gongyi, a senior official in the Sui Dynasty, and his ancestral home was Didao, Gansu.After Xin Weiye became an official, he moved to Jinan and served as a judge in Dali.

Xin Zan's grandfather, Xin Shizhan, was an official Rulin Lang.His father, Xin Ji, joined the army for Binzhou Manager.

Therefore, the three generations of Xin Zan's ancestors were officials, and they laid the foundation in Licheng, Qizhou, and built a large-scale manor.The Xin family and the officials and eunuchs from Shandong and Hebei have forged many friendships through several generations.

Although Xin Zan has not yet become an official, he is still studying literature and martial arts day and night, making many friends, and hoping to serve the country in the future.

Today, he just met up with his friends to visit Qianfo Mountain Xingguo Temple, he didn't want to meet so many robbers on the way.

Xin Zan said that his wife was already pregnant, if Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu hadn't helped each other, mother and child might not be safe today.

The territory of Qizhou has always been safe, how could such a group of thieves break in suddenly.

Ximen Qing told Xin Zan that the "God of Dangerous Way" Yu Baosi was a thief from Qingzhou, and he must have fled from Qingzhou to Qizhou.Now that Yu Baosi has been severely injured, he doesn't know which state or county he will flee to to do evil.

Now the prefectures in Hebei and Shandong are depleted of armaments, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers is very poor. Therefore, in Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Jeju, Xuzhou in Shandong, and Xingzhou, Cizhou, and Xiangzhou in Hebei, thieves flocked to cause disaster, but the government did not Incapable of completely destroying it.
