Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Last time, it was said that a big man came to Tang Bi's house, General Zhentai, who is it?

It was Yang Lin, the backer king who was supposed to be far away in Dengzhou!

Ever since Emperor Gang was robbed, Yang Lin was furious and searched everywhere. Recently, he got the news that all the thieves had gathered in Jinan City, Shandong, so he immediately led the Twelve Taibao and other soldiers to arrest him.

Just arrived at Tangbi's mansion at this moment.

Yang Lin asked Tang Bi about Qin Qiong's whereabouts, and learned that he was not on duty recently, in order to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Yang Lin thought to himself, no wonder Qin Qiong left in such a hurry, it turned out to be out of filial piety, and now he has a little more affection for him, thinking that if those thieves are caught, he will go to Qin Qiong's mansion to take a look.So, someone was sent to Qin Qiong's mansion to inform him.

Here, Yang Lin issued an order, ordering Tang Bi's subordinates to lead his twelve Taibao, close the city gate, divide the troops into several groups, and search for thieves from house to house.

On the other side, in Jia's building, when everyone was drinking with high spirits, Xu Maogong stood up with a smile and said: "Today, it is really rare for everyone from all over the world to gather together because of Aunt Qin's longevity."

Everyone nodded happily.

Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong looked at each other, and the two had a tacit understanding. Wei Zheng said: "When you get together, you can't escape a word of fate. If there is no fate, as brothers, there are heroes from the green forest and people from the public family." , and the children of aristocratic families, how can we get together? However, no matter what, all brothers have one thing in common, that is, everyone is a good man who can eliminate tyrants and stand upright."

As soon as Luo Chengchu heard Xu Maogong stand up and speak, he couldn't hold back his emotions. Ouch, my little heart was beating, and he said, hurry up, just waiting for your suggestion.

However, Xu Maogong likes to speak slowly and deliberately, but Luo Cheng is very anxious. If Zhang has a big beard, he will definitely spit - literati are hypocritical.

After squeezing for a long time, I finally squeezed out the words: "Since everyone agrees with each other, why don't we learn from the ancients and come to a 'Taoyuan knot', blood alliance, and brothers of different surnames. From now on, we will save each other in life and death, and help each other in trouble What do you guys think?"

Luo Cheng was so excited that he finally arrived, stood up after a while, clasped his fists and said, "What Daoist Xu said is really reasonable."

Zhang Gongjin frowned, Shaobao, please don't get too excited.Didn't you see that you stood up so suddenly, tilted the head of the stool, and the little brother Chai Shaochai on the other side fell to the ground with his buttocks, his expression was so innocent.

There was a sudden silence at the banquet——

Everyone stared wide-eyed, Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong and the others didn't expect that the first person to jump out to join him was the young man from Beiping Mansion, who had the highest status among them...

Speaking of who was slandering just now: Luo Cheng and Luo Shaobao have eyes on the top of their heads, they don't look down on people in the green forest, they look down on rough people like them!

Shit, nonsense, whoever says this again, be careful and beat him up.

Look at the mention of sworn brothers, how enthusiastic he is, everyone really misunderstood the young man of the Luo family, maybe his face is not expressive, but his heart is kind.

Everyone couldn't help but step back and think, Second Brother Shan, it seems that you were indeed narrow-minded just now, look, Luo Shaobao didn't look down on you at all, it was you who were overthinking.

When Shan Xiongxin saw that Luo Cheng was the first to applaud, he didn't want to be left behind, so he also stood up and said: "This is very good, very good."

After all, everyone also responded one after another.

Qin Qiong cast a thoughtful glance at Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong, then slowly stood up and said, "That's a good thing, I'm also looking forward to this day."

In other words, why did Qin Qiong sweep towards Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong meaningfully before getting up?

This has to be mentioned before the banquet, when the three of them are chatting.

Qin Qiong saw that the brothers were chatting and laughing, they got along very well, and they were happy on the face.

At this moment of joy and harmony, Xu Maogong and Daoist Xu suddenly let out a long sigh.

Qin Qiong looked back and asked: "Does Master Xu have something on his mind?"

Xu Maogong stroked his beard and said, "I feel sorry for us people."

Qin Qiong didn't know, and asked, "What regrets?"

Xu Maogong said: "All of you here are dragons and phoenixes among men, heroes and heroes, but they are forced to take up the mountain as a bandit and take risks. It's only because Emperor Wen Yang Jian favored and trusted the king of Yue Yang Su and Yu Wenhuaji at the time. The people have no way out."

Qin Qiong bowed his head and remained silent.

Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong looked at each other, and then said, "I thought that the new emperor would do something of his own when he ascended the throne. Who would have thought that Yang Guang would kill his father and brother, and commit all kinds of evil. He is lustful and licentious, soliciting beauties from all states and counties, and coveting treasures. , Searching for people's fat and anointing, building large-scale construction projects, laboring lives and wasting money, and not caring about people's lives. We people have skills, but how can ordinary people live in such a day, this is not letting people live. "

Xu Maogong nodded and said: "The Taoist said it is very true. I don't believe it. If we agree to turn against him, will the world still be named Yang?"

Qin Qiong was shocked when he heard this. Hearing what Xu Wei and the two priests said, he wanted to take this opportunity to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. So now he is talking to himself, I am afraid it is selfish, and he wants to test his tone .

Qin Qiong thought about it again and again, and knew that the reasoning was true. What Wei and Xu said was not exaggerated or false, but he couldn't decide for the brothers.

After all, it is a serious crime of treason. If one is bad, not to mention his own death, it will also implicate his parents, wives and children.All the brothers have a deep affection for him, but he is the only one who follows the lead and happily comes to celebrate his mother's birthday, so he can't harm the brothers.

Qin Qiong thought about this, and when he raised his head again, he laughed and said: "Xu Daochang, Wei Daochang, happy today, let's not talk about state affairs, come, come... Let's go upstairs to drink together."

Seeing Qin Qiong's reply, Xu and Wei knew that he had already made a decision in his heart and planned to keep silent.Xu and Wei knew that this matter was not too hasty, so they stopped talking and went upstairs to drink together.

But at this time, after three or two glasses of wine, everyone took advantage of the wine to talk freely.

Xu Maogong rolled his eyes, changed his words, and suggested: "Since everyone agrees with each other, how about making a blood alliance and becoming brothers of the opposite sex? From now on, we will save each other in life and death, and help each other in adversity."

Unexpectedly, the first one to sign up enthusiastically was Luo Cheng, the young father-in-law of Beiping Mansion, who had the highest status among them.

This took the lead.

Seeing that people don't dislike being sworn brothers with you from the green forest, why are you so hypocritical, so everyone stood up one after another, cupped their hands and said: "That's a good relationship, brothers are all looking forward to it."

Seeing this posture, Qin Qiong couldn't persuade him anymore. Since Xu Wei and Wei didn't mention the crime of treason, he just let them go. It is feasible to become brothers.

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Xu Maogong beamed with joy, waved his long sleeves, and said loudly: "Okay, let's set up the incense table!"

Upstairs of the Jia's house got busy, and everyone came forward hand in hand, because there were so many people that they couldn't move away, the shopkeepers Jia and Liu of the Jia's house specially ordered the waiter to move the wine table on the second floor and put an incense table on it.

Including Jia and Liu shopkeepers, including Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Qi and Li, Chai Shao, Luo Cheng and others, there are a total of 46 heroes, divided into several rows, lined up, holding bowls with both hands, Put it on your chest.

"Emperor heaven and earth, the gods of the past are above—" 46 friends, headed by Xu Maogong, held up a large bowl and said loudly, "Because of the congenial spirit and like-mindedness, the disciples of believers are willing to follow the Taoyuan alliance and form a friendship with Jinlan forever. They are willing to share joys and sorrows together Blessings depend on each other, although they are not born together, but they want to die together, they don't agree with their hearts, people and gods kill each other, and the great cause is three years and autumn—do it!"

Xu Maogong gave an order, and everyone lifted up the big bowl and poured it into their mouths.

Luo Cheng was excited. He had been detained all his life, and he had never been so ambitious. Such a scene made his blood boil, and he wanted to take a bite. Who knew that he was robbed halfway.

Luo Cheng blinked and looked at his cousin's behavior inexplicably: "Cousin, why are you stopping me?"

Qin Qiong looked embarrassed, and grabbed his big bowl, Gululu drank the wine, then wiped his mouth and said: "Cousin, cousin, I'm thirsty, I want to drink more."

"Why don't you grab Brother Cheng's drink? Brother Cheng is standing by your side, okay?" Luo Cheng muttered.

"He has a big mouth, no bowl of any size is enough for him." Brother Bite Jin, I'm sorry.

Luo Cheng glanced at Cheng Yaojin with resentment, and the latter scratched his head with his mouth smacked and stared at inexplicably.

Qin Qiong twitched the corners of her mouth and said unnaturally: "My cousin is still young, so drink less." I don't want a good wedding to turn into a funeral.

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the big bowl back into his hand and walked back to the front.

Luo Cheng lowered his eyes to look at his big bowl, and swung his right hand a little. Your mouth is not small... Then it's not a sip, it's just a sip left, okay?

So, cousin, you walked from the first row to the third row, just to grab my drink?

Young Luo Cheng was not convinced, how could there be no wine in such a big scene of sworn brothers, turned his head to look at Zhang Gongjin who was beside him and said, "Brother Zhang, pour me some of your wine."

Zhang Gongjin said in a spirited way: "Young Bao, I've already drank mine just now." After finishing speaking, he turned the bowl upside down to prove it.

Luo Cheng was a little discouraged.

Zhang Gongjin didn't sympathize with her own Shaobao at all.What are you kidding, the first time you finish drinking, you kill people with a knife, and the second time you drink, you use a firecracker to blow up the house... Zhang Gongjin glanced at the shiny silver gun in Shaobao's hand. It is very sharp and can stab people to death. Okay!

Now that the Eldest Prince is not here, neither is Luo Yong, nor is Yanyun Jingqi, if I give you a drink, we will all be your living targets.

Luo Cheng didn't know the allusion, and turned his head to look at Shi Danai on the other side without giving up: "Brother Shi—"

Seeing his appearance, Shi Danai quickly poured the wine into his stomach, drank so fast that he almost choked, coughed twice before saying: "Young Bao, mine... I also drank all of mine."

Luo Cheng's black line, I won't play with you anymore, you team up to bully me.

Zhang Gongjin couldn't take it anymore when she saw the arrogant look of her Shaobao, she pushed him and said, "Shaobao, isn't this the eldest son who has been admonishing him thousands of times, so don't make things difficult for us. Look, Shaobao, At least Second Brother Qin left a mouthful for you."

Luo Cheng thought: I finally became a sworn brother, and you treat me like this, you can't even drink a drink, hum...it's too disrespectful.

Luo Cheng was angry on his own, everyone in Beiping Mansion just pretended they didn't see it, it was a matter of life and death, so they couldn't be soft-hearted.

Seeing that the tricks he usually used didn't work, Luo Cheng was frustrated, and drank the wine in silence... Zhang Gongjin and the others secretly laughed when they saw that Shaobao had become honest now.

As soon as Luo Cheng put down the bowl, Shan Xiongxin took a look at the registered roster and said, "This is arranged according to age, the boss is our brother Wei Zhengwei."

Everyone clasped their hands together and said in unison: "Brother Wei——"

Wei Zheng returned the gift.

"The second child is our elder brother Qin Qiong Qin."

"The third child is Mr. Xu Mao."

"Old Si Cheng bites gold."

……

I have read the names one by one, and when I read the last name, Shan Xiongxin paused: "The last one is of course the youngest among us, little brother Luo Cheng, who is not young in martial arts, little brother Luo Cheng, I have wronged you, and become our The 46th brother." Shan Xiongxin's words are true, with a bit of sincerity, one is that he really admires Luo Cheng's martial arts, and the other is to say soft words, intending to reconcile the old relationship with him, after all, we are sworn brothers now, Fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

"Brother 46—" everyone said cheerfully.

Luo Cheng bowed his hands to everyone with a smile, and even lessened the regret that he hadn't had a drink just now: "My brother is here to salute you brothers, and I have to rely on you brothers to take care of me in the future!"

Qin Qiong reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "My brother has a kind heart, but he is not deeply involved in the world, and he is arrogant. He will inevitably offend others in the future. I hope everyone will forgive me."

To put it bluntly, after all, it is my own family, so I should take care of it more.

As soon as Qin Qiong finished speaking, the rest of the crowd broke up with each other.

有的说：“秦二哥，你就放心吧，他是咱们最小的弟弟，不照顾他照顾谁啊，以后要是罗成小弟想揍人了，来，揍哥哥，哥哥身子结实着呢，爱戳A few holes poked a few holes."

Zhang Gongjin squinted at Shaobao whose eyes were as bright as the stars at night from beginning to end, and thought to himself, big brother, we know that you are speaking politely, but my Shaobao will take it seriously.

Others said: "I just like the temperament of little brother Luo Cheng. Originally, they are all my brothers. If you have something to say, it's not happy to cover it up."

Luo Cheng smiled and nodded in agreement.

Du Wenzhong shook his head at the elder brother who spoke, brother, don't be so full of words, you will suffer in the future.

Cheng Yaojin also joined in the fun: "Brother 46 and I were the first to recognize brothers. After the matter of little brother Luo, it will be my matter, Cheng Yaojin. If there is any trouble, just come to me. My brother will stop for you." .”

Everyone in Beiping Mansion loves it.

Everyone was joking with Luo Cheng without saying a word, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door, followed by Xiao Er leading someone to the second floor.

After a while, Shan Yingying appeared at the stairs, clapped her hands on her chest, panting for a while and said: "Brother, Second Brother Qin, something is wrong, something is wrong, the backer king Yang Lin sent someone here."
