Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Wu Song, who fought the tiger on Jingyanggang, was already Ximen Qing's defeated general.But Ximen Qing himself already possessed considerable strength, enough to dominate in Yanggu County, Shandong Province.

Looking back on the past, Ximen Qing only felt that after time travel, several months passed by in a hurry, and life really seemed like a dream.

Wu Song, a small enemy!A more powerful enemy is still far away.

The past is like wind, and the road ahead is long.After Ximenqing expressed his feelings on Jingyanggang, he led the crowd to get off their posts.

From a distance, I saw a village hotel behind the woods, and a wine flag was hung high outside the shop, with the words "Three bowls but no post" written on it.

Holding the handle of the knife, Hu Sanniang happily asked Ximen Qing, "Master, look ahead! There is a hotel by the woods, could it be a black shop?"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Lady, that's a decent village hotel, and this Jingyanggang is famous for its "Three Bowls But Not a Hill". The last time I passed Jingyanggang, Mr. Xianggong, it was Brother Shi Yong that I met in this hotel. "

Jiao Ting heard it from behind, and said with a chuckle: "Sister-in-law, this hotel's name is too good to be true. The store sells "toupingxiang" and "going out". Brother Ximen is fine even after eating a dozen bowls. After drinking, he defeated Brother Shi Yong with only one stick."

This "faceless" brother Jiao Ting has been by my side for a long time, and he has learned to watch the fire and speak!I really grasped this opportunity well, took the opportunity to boast of me in front of my wife, and let my brother benefit from it.

"Hahaha~ Brother Jiao Ting, don't bring this matter up again! Brother Shi Yong is our good brother now, isn't it embarrassing him to say that?" Ximen Qing said with a big laugh.

"My brother made a good gun! Brothers are so impressed. How can we say nothing about this? I don't think Brother Shi Yong will be angry. Last time, brother, I was punched by my sister-in-law in Ximenbao, and I was beaten violently. Brother Shi Yong is miserable? But brother, I am proud of it! Brothers all know about this." Lu Xiaoyi shamelessly said next to Jiao Ting.

This guy is worthy of being a rogue boss, and his concept of honor and disgrace is very unmatched.His few rogue subordinates were still booing, saying that Lu Xiaoyi often brags about this matter after drinking, and these brothers feel very honored.

In the minds of this group of rogues, their old Dalu Xiaoyi fought with Hu Sanniang, the wife of the black and white eldest brother Ximenqing in Yanggu County, and was not killed before being beaten to death, so it was worth showing off for these rogues for a few years.These people and Lu Xiaoyi are indeed the same.

Everyone was amused by Lu Xiaoyi, and Hu Sanniang laughed so hard that she couldn't help but laugh.

Ximen Qing supported Hu Sanniang beside him, and gave Lu Xiaoyi an approving look.This "fancy arm" Lu Xiaoyi is worthy of being the confidant brother of my senior officials in Ximen!

Everyone talked and laughed and walked into the hotel, occupying several tables in this small hotel.

Lu Xiaoyi rolled up his sleeves, revealing the flower embroidery on his arm, and shouted boldly: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and sieve a few bowls of your "going out" and let me taste what it's like!"

Ximen Qing also paid for it: "Shop, if there is any good beef and mutton, cut it up, and then sieve a few bowls of fine wine with my brothers, and I will pay you as soon as I send it."

At this time, there is only one waiter in the small hotel.Seeing that there was a big business coming, the waiter in the shop hurriedly served chopped beef and mutton for everyone, brought a few jugs of wine, and set wine glasses for everyone.

Seeing that the waiter in the shop was holding small wine glasses, Lu Xiaoyi yelled dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper, we good guys always use big bowls to eat wine. With this small wine glass, it's so smooth and elegant! Change me to a big bowl!"

The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Guest officer, you don't know. My wine is different from others. It is very strong. You have to drink it in a small cup to get the taste of it. If you drink wine in a big bowl, I'm afraid it's just a bowl. Get drunk."

Lu Xiaoyi was not willing to listen, so he decided to ask the waiter in the shop to change it into a big bowl for him.

The waiter couldn't resist him, so he had to change the bowl for him, and said in his mouth: "The guest officer is drunk, so don't blame me."

Lu Xiaoyi rushed to pour a bowl of wine by himself, and said in his mouth: "My brother can eat more than a dozen bowls, brother, I can't eat a bowl of him?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiaoyi swallowed a bowl of wine with a grunt.

1 Chapter Twenty

"Brother Xiao Yi is so worried, does he still want to compete with brother Ximen?" Tang Long laughed at the side.

Before Tang Long finished speaking, he saw Lu Xiaoyi tilted his head, slipped and fell to the ground, lethargic.

"There is sweat medicine in this wine!" Jiao Ting on the side shouted when he saw this.

"Haha! It really is a black shop!" Hu Sanniang jumped up, reaching out to draw the knife.

The rogues around Lu Xiaoyi were also in a mess, some went to help Lu Xiaoyi, some got up and went to catch the waiter, trying to beat him.

"Stop it all! Stop messing around! Just listen to what he has to say." Ximen Qing held Hu Sanniang's sword-drawn hand with one hand, and shouted at Lu Xiaoyi's rogues.

Although Ximen Qing hadn't drunk just now, he could already smell the aroma of the wine in the bottle.The aroma of this wine is not like the "bottle fragrance" that I drank last time, it should be a kind of wine that I have never drunk before.Ximen Qing knew that there must be articles on this wine, but it may not be because of Mongolian sweat medicine.

Seeing this situation, the waiter in the shop knew that Ximen Qing was the one in charge of the group of guests, so he yelled at him.

The waiter in the shop said: "Guest officer, you can't defile people's innocence! The wine in my house is the best steamed wine. Why did you add any sweating medicine? This guest officer didn't listen to the villain's advice and got drunk. How can you complain?" A villain?"

"Nonsense, where do you get drunk after drinking a bowl of wine in this village? You must have drugged the wine!" Several hooligans yelled at the side.

"You guest officials don't know that although my shop is small, it has a background in this Yanggu County. Is there any good wine? This wine is newly brewed by my master. You came out of Yanggu, and you are in other places. You can't even drink it in Fucheng." The waiter in the shop replied softly but hard.

Hearing this, Ximen Qing stopped the rogues who were about to explode, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip.

As soon as the wine was in his mouth, Ximen Qing understood.The wine this time is not the low-alcohol water wine I drank last time, but real high-alcohol liquor.Lu Xiaoyi drank a large bowl of white wine in one gulp, no wonder he fell drunk on the ground.

"Sure enough, good wine, shopkeeper, where did you get this wine from?"

Before the waiter could answer, a person came in from outside the door and said, "Where did you come from, dare you say that this is a black shop, don't you know that this hotel is run by a senior official from Ximen? Xi, a senior official from Ximen! Villain!" I have seen the high officials!"

Ximen Qing looked up, but the person at the door was not an outsider, but Xu Hu, the apprentice of Jiang Menshen.At this time, Xu Hu was saluting himself respectfully.

Jiao Ting also saw Xu Hu and asked him, "Xu Hu, why are you here? Is your master here too?"

The shop waiter was stunned, and said in his mouth: "Do you know the shopkeeper? So you are... you are a high-ranking official?"

Xu Hu replied to Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting: "Report to the officials, Instructor Jiao, my master is not here. This place is run by villains."

Ximenqing understood, he asked Xu Hu to sit down and explain in detail.

Xu Hu told Ximen Qing that the "three bowls but no post" hotel had been bought by Jiang Menshen and Hu Zhengqing.

Hu Zhengqing wanted to take advantage of the store's reputation of "three bowls but no post" to try selling some high-strength liquor steamed according to the method provided by Ximen Qing, and to gain experience.

In order to practice Xu Hu, Jiang Menshen arranged for him to run the small hotel alone.After Xu Hu had practiced for a while, he was asked to run a new restaurant in the state capital outside.

That's why Xu Hu, Jiang Menshen's confidant disciple, appeared here.And Ximen Qing and others were able to enjoy the newly brewed high-quality wine because of this.

After hearing Xu Hu's words, the hooligans knew that the flood had washed up on the Dragon King Temple, and it turned out that everyone was brothers under the Ximen officials.They blushed and bowed to the shop boy, and carried Lu Xiaoyi aside to sober up.

Hu Sanniang also drank a glass of wine and was very addicted, and praised Ximen Qing's wine making method.

Xu Hu pretentiously brought up a lot of vegetables and let everyone have a good meal in the shop.After Ximen Qing and others finished eating, Lu Xiaoyi also gradually woke up, sighing that there is still such good wine in the world.

After resting in the hotel for a while, Ximen Qing led the team to move on.After passing through Dongchang Mansion and Gaotang Prefecture, Xiaoxing stayed overnight for more than [-] days, and finally arrived in Lingzhou territory and entered Lingzhou City.

After arriving in Lingzhou city, Ximenqing found a big inn on Southern Cross Street and settled everyone down.

After Ximen Qing inquired about the location of Wei Dingguo's mansion from the shopkeeper, he carried Tang Long's autographed letter with Ling Zhen and Tang Long, and went to the Tuanlian mansion to visit "Shenhuo" General" Wei Dingguo.

Wei Dingguo heard a report from his servant that a senior official from Ximen in Yanggu County, Shandong Province came to visit him.Wei Dingguo thought about it for a moment, but he didn't remember having such a friend.

However, it is not a bad thing for someone to send a gift to the door. Wei Dingguo ordered the servants to invite the visitor into the hall.

Ximen Qing and Tang Long entered Wei Dingguo's Tuanlian Mansion, and when they entered the hall, Wei Dingguo also greeted them.

Ximen Qing looked at Wei Dingguo, six or seven feet tall, dressed in a light red robe, with a full sky, thick eyebrows and thick eyes, and a few strands of beard on his chin.Ximen Qing knew at a glance that this Wei Dingguo must be a vigorous person.
