When Wu Yong came down the mountain, he told his attendant that if anyone asked, he would say that the military advisor had gone to the water village at the foot of the mountain to inspect the defense.
A forest must be passed between the mountain village and the water village. As we were about to walk out of the forest, a tit fluttered overhead, stirring up the silent air with a hint of nervousness. Wu Yong raised his head and looked at the flight path of the tit. He recalled that when he was a child, he went to the mountains with his father to burn charcoal and saved an injured tit. When it recovered and was released to fly, he prayed silently: Fly away quickly, safely. Find your own sky!
The sudden childhood memories made him feel a little sad for a moment. He shook his head and quickened his pace.
Seeing Wu Yong coming from a distance, Li Jun rushed up with a smile on his face and bowed in salute. The other brothers stood on both sides and also smiled in greeting. Li Jun is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He can talk well on weekdays, but he can stand up at critical moments. He saved Songjiang in Xunyangjiang River. Because of this, when Liangshan established the navy, Wu Yong recommended Li Jun as the chief coach, instead of letting the three Ruan brothers, who were his strongest allies, take the lead.
entered the camp and everyone took their seats. Li Jun winked at Ruan Xiaoer. Ruan Xiaoer looked around and said angrily to Xiao Wu: I'm stupid, why don't you tell me!
Ruan Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves, put one leg on the bench, and coughed dryly before saying: Brother, I’ll tell you what I said. I’m wrong, don’t be surprised!
Ruan Xiaoqi was a little anxious and glanced at him: Come on, come on, forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, brother is one of our own!
Wu Yongwu tasted the tea slowly and did not answer.
Ruan Xiaowu said hurriedly: Brother, I and other brothers just want to ask you a question. Once we enter Tokyo city, can we still drink in big bowls and eat meat like this?
Wu Yong smiled slightly: Of course!
Ruan Xiaowu then asked: Can we still be like brothers and interact with each other casually?
Wu Yong gently put down the tea cup , and slowly glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and then said: "I will say it again today, this recruitment is the emperor's grace. When you enter Tokyo City, it is to assist you." Your Majesty, you are here to stabilize the country and bring peace to the country, and you are not here to cause trouble! You guys should calm down as soon as possible and practice more rules, especially watch your mouths!
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
Li Jun moved his chair back, stood up straight, and said to Wu Yong: Brother, our brothers are not just inviting you here to drink tea this time. Everyone is used to occupying the mountain as king, living happily and not looking at others. Face, don't smell people's breath. Once you enter the city of Tokyo, it will be like a tiger falling flat. If you are not careful, you may end up in a trap! If brother is interested, we are willing to listen to your orders!
Everyone looked at Wu Yong with wide eyes.
Wu Yong was secretly frightened, but he looked around everyone one by one with a smile on his face, and then said seriously: Never say these nonsense again from now on! Brother Song Jiang has waited a long time for me, and finally found a way out for us. This bad life of fighting and killing is about to end, how can we create complications and seek trouble for ourselves? !
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Returning to the mountain village, Wu Yong came to find Song Jiang immediately.
Wu Yong said: Brother, after the news of the recruitment came out, the brothers talked a lot. To prevent changes, arrangements must be made early!
Song Jiang only said: Drink tea.
Wu Yong originally wanted to say something, but had to withdraw.
After Wu Yong left Song Jiang, he was a little worried. He always felt that Song Jiang's eyes were a little different from usual. This gaze was like a sword, which made him feel panicked.
A burst of rapid drumming woke up Wu Yong, who was still sleeping. He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.
Song Jiang waited for everyone to arrive, and then slowly said: "The imperial court is true to its word. It has been recruited and prepared for military preparation. This time it has given our brothers a God-given opportunity to make contributions and serve the country!"
Li Kui Leopard's eyes widened and he shouted loudly: Brother, could it be that the emperor asked us to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
Song Jiang glanced at Li Kui, and did not reprimand him as before, but smiled and said: Brother Li Kui is right, the imperial court has issued an imperial edict, ordering Liangshan to conquer Fangla , rectify the army and horses within ten days, and go to the front line. I would like to discuss countermeasures with all the brothers.
Wu Yongdao: To conquer Fangla, Liangshan wants to win. There is a feasible plan, which is to send people to penetrate into Fangla first. After finding out the situation, the Liangshan army will attack fiercely, cooperate inside and outside, and win in one fell swoop.
As for the military advisor, who should be sent there? Song Jiang asked.
Wu Yongdao: Li Jun is calm, sophisticated and thoughtful, and is the best fit for this role.
Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong meaningfully, nodded and said yes: Just follow the military advisor. When
learned the news, Li Jun was drinking tea in the military tent, staring at the vast misty water outside the tent, and said without beginning or end: Although it is dangerous, it may not be a bad thing!
Everyone was puzzled. Li Jun waved his hand and said: Just follow the military advisor’s orders!
These days, uneasiness enveloped Wu Yong like a thick fog. This time he marched into the army, many brothers had been killed and injured, and Wu Yong felt a little guilty.
The team stretched forward like a long dragon, with Song Jiang and Wu Yong riding horses in the middle of the team.
Wu Yong paused and hesitated to speak. Song Jiang noticed it and said: If the military advisor has something to say, just say it!
Before Wu Yong could elaborate, he saw Li Jun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng holding horses waiting by the roadside. Li Jun was wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, his head was covered with sweat, and his voice was hoarse: I have seen two elder brothers! It's a shame that my sick body drags everyone down. I specifically asked for leave from my two brothers. Zhun Tongwei and Tongmeng stayed with me to treat my illness. After recovery, the three of us will rush to meet my brothers.
Song Jiang frowned. On the road to Hangzhou the day before yesterday, Wu Song became a monk halfway. After leaving Hangzhou, Yan Qing left without saying goodbye. Now that Li Jun has to stay again, he can't help but feel a little annoyed and helpless.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong urged their horses to move forward. Wu Yong saw Li Jun kowtowing to the ground, and a sadness of farewell suddenly surged in his heart.
After returning to Tokyo, the Liangshan generals were divided into various places. That night, Wu Yong had a dream. He dreamed that Song Jiang was crying: his brother was framed by a traitor. Fortunately, thanks to the help of Taiwei , his soul returned to Liangshan. Brother, he came to meet him quickly to comfort his thoughts!
Wu Yong traveled through the starry night and arrived at Liangshan to find Song Jiang's tomb. While crying, he slowly took off the cap of the iron pot filled with old wine. The wine gurgled out, like rushing blood, and fell to the ground.
Wu Yong threw away the iron kettle, took off a bunch of silk ribbons wrapped around his waist, and threw it up to the thick branches of an elm tree nearby. Finally, he glanced at the vast lake in Liangshan, and slowly put the ribbon around his neck.
In the distance, a tit suddenly flew out from the reeds, screaming and flying towards it. Wu Yong smiled in the midst of tears. He vaguely heard Song Jiang say: Dear brother, you have indeed lived up to me!
