Chapter 120 Black Lives Matter? (7k)

Last night the snow covered the ground like goose feathers, and by dawn the snow was two feet deep.

Yang Chang received the order and immediately put on his armor and rode out to fight. The horse's steps on the soft snow were like a painting, leaving a row of dense marks.

When they arrived at the gate, Hu Sanniang was already waiting there, listening to what Li Jun was saying.

Ok?
The siege battles were mainly carried out by cavalry and infantry, but is there also a role for the navy today?

Yang Chang rode his horse forward, and Li Jun hurriedly saluted.

"Brother Yang."

"Brother Li, is there something wrong?"

"I have already told my brother and sister-in-law, and you and your wife, to go and fight. Suochao is almost out of the city. I will go to the streamside and wait for him first."

"okay."

Watching Li Jun's departing back, Yang Chang looked at Hu Sanniang curiously and asked, "What did he say?"

"The navy has set up a trap by the stream. The military advisor originally planned to have Chief Li lead Suo Chao there, but General Guan suddenly recommended us. Chief Li just came to tell us the location. If we can't defeat Suo Chao in the battle, we can pretend to be defeated and lead him into the trap."

"I see. But there's no need for that. I'll go and entangle him first, and you'll follow up and lasso him. Suo Chao will definitely be captured."

"Well, it's up to you."

While the two were talking, Suo Chao had already defeated the luring soldiers outside the city and was heading straight for the Liangshan camp.

Yang Chang immediately gave Hu Sanniang a look, then he drew his spear and rode his horse to intercept Suo Chao and fight him.

The yellow horse's hooves churned, carrying Yang Chang at a rapid speed. Hu Sanniang then noticed that the man's armor was not in good order, and wondered what was wrong with the entourage around the master? Could they not even do such a small thing?
Hu Sanniang urged her green horse, frowned and moved forward slowly, complaining in her heart but not knowing the truth: today Yang Chang had to dress himself.

Although the two were husband and wife, they did not share the same camp when they went out to fight. Hu Sanniang led her own army and had to set an example, and Yang Chang had to abide by military regulations while serving under Hu Yanzhuo, so they could not share the same bed at night.

Hu Sanniang was deep in thought while walking, and planned to go back to the mountain to talk to Song Taigong, asking him to persuade Song Jiang not to make such arrangements anymore. It didn't matter if they fought in the suburbs of Liangshan, but it was better to march together over long distances so that the couple could take care of each other.

Yang Changze was not so emotionally delicate. The battlefield was not the place to talk about personal relationships.

He also brings his wife along with him, and it feels a bit like a couple working on a construction site. The wife helps out during the day, and cooks and serves the husband after get off work.

This picture seems like a relationship of mutual support, but in fact, women working on a construction site are very similar to women working in a military camp. They are the rare bright embellishments among a crowd of men. It is impossible for them to put on makeup and dress up normally, and they have to endure the vulgar jokes of their companions.

Yang Chang was focused at this moment, he jumped on his horse and held his spear straight for Suo Chao.

Suo Chao is slightly inferior to Yang Zhi in martial arts, and Yang Zhi is the watershed of Liangshan's first-class masters. Yang Chang believes that even if he cannot win, he can still remain undefeated with his unique skill [Calming Qi and Prisoning Strength].

When the two horses approached, Yang Chang once again made a gesture to attack with his spear or stick, and also stunned Suo Chao who was rushing towards him with an axe.

what happened?

Did a heavy snowstorm damage the bandits' brains?

Suo Chao had just defeated several enemies and his palms were burning with excitement. He saw Yang Chang taking the lead in attacking and he did not use the usual method of blocking with the axe handle, but instead swung it upwards like a hoe.

The Vanguard was indeed worthy of his reputation. He did not want to wait even for one more round and planned to knock Yang Chang off his horse directly.

There was a bang.

The spear pressed against the back of the axe, making a dull sound of metal and wood colliding, like the heavy sound of wood hitting chimes.

Yang Chang's spear was unable to exert its full power, and a covering strike caused the spear shaft to bend into an arc.

Suo Chao used the Rhino Looking at the Moon technique with his axe, which is equivalent to a backhand smash by a table tennis player. Although the power is not as strong as the forehand, it has the effect of leveraging the opponent's force, and should be able to pull Yang Chang down directly.

However, at the moment when the two soldiers were fighting, Suo Chao felt as if he had kicked a sapling with all his strength, but was bounced back.

"You guy"

"Hey, you're pretty good."

"Little thief, do you need my praise?"

When Suo Chao saw Yang Chang's 'contemptuous' praise, he did not feel any joy at all. Instead, he was filled with anger.

The weapons collided head-on, and the remaining strength of the horses carried the two men away.

Suo Chao was very skilled and brave at this time. He hooked his feet on the stirrup to control his balance, and leaned his body backward like bending down in gymnastics, holding the Xuanhua Axe and moving backward like a landslide.

"Move the mountain upside down!"

"Ok?"

Yang Chang heard the sound of wind behind his ears and saw a white light falling from the corner of his eye. He twisted his waist almost instinctively and thrust his gun forward at the same time, skillfully pushing away the axe like an antelope hanging on a horn.

"how is this possible?"

"Xiao Suozi, you have great waist strength, but there is always someone stronger than you."

"Don't be so arrogant, come again!"

Suo Chao's sneak attack failed, so this time he swung the Xuanhua Axe and chopped it straight on, urging the warhorse under him to surge like a ball of fire, as if it was going to devour Yang Chang.

Yang Chang held his spear high and met the attack without any fear. When they met, he first blocked and pushed with the spear handle, then quickly moved his hand towards the spear tip, leaving the butt of the spear free to sweep towards Suo Chao's face, shocking the vanguard so much that he fell backwards again.

Suo Chao was a good rider with strong waist strength. He leaned back to avoid Yang Chang's counterattack and adjusted his balance in the instant of rising and falling.

Turning his horse back to fight again, Suo Chao shouted to boost his morale, but was ruthlessly attacked and beaten by Yang Chang, which made him inexplicably angry.

Why am I?
Is the injury still not healed? That must be the case.

The thief got the advantage, but his shooting skills are not very sophisticated. I will not lose!

Suo Chao frowned, turned his horse, pointed his axe at Yang Chang and shouted, "General, please leave your name!"

"Yang Chang!"

Yang Chang spoke briefly and tried fighting with Suo Chao for two or three rounds. He found that Suo Chao had very good waist strength.

It felt like it would take time to capture him alive, and she was afraid that Suo Chao would run away halfway, so she secretly gave a signal when she turned her horse, and Hu Sanniang saw it and sneaked up on him.

"Yang Chang? He can't grow if he meets me."

Suo Chao's attention was on Yang Chang, and he didn't notice the dangerous changes around him. He raised his axe and approached to chop him down.

Yang Chang raised his spear, and Suo Chao pressed down on the spear with the handle of his axe, as if intending to wrestle with him.

The big axe is a heavy weapon, and those who can use this kind of weapon are mostly known for their strength. However, Suo Chao had chosen the wrong opponent. His eyes were wide open like bells, and he put all his strength into it, but he could not suppress Yang Chang even a little bit.

At this time, the clouds dispersed and the sky became bright. The warm winter sun shone on the snow, making everything white before my eyes.

It seems like we've met a tough guy!
Suo Chao was unable to defeat the opponent and began to think of retreating. He raised his axe and pushed it forward with all his might, intending to use his weapons to withdraw his horse.

Unfortunately, Yang Chang didn't want to let him go. He took advantage of the situation to turn the spear in his hand, accurately hooked it under Suo Chao's axe, and then bit it and flipped forward.

The sudden change of tactics almost caused Suo Chao to lose his weapon and control his body. Fortunately, he managed to steady himself in the panic. Just as he was about to say something teasing with a proud look on his face, a red lasso entangled his waist.

"This is."

"Get off your horse!"

"I"

When Suo Chao saw Hu Sanniang, his body could no longer be controlled and he lost weight. He never expected that someone would attack him from behind and he was still crying out in injustice when he fell off his horse.

"You...you have no moral principles!"

When the accompanying government troops saw Hu Sanniang entering the battle, eight or nine riders rushed forward to help, but before they arrived they saw Suo Chao falling off his horse, and Yang Chang was like a farmer with a pig-driving stick, driving them everywhere.

Yang Chang turned around and picked up his spear to see that Hu Sanniang had already controlled Suo Chao who had fallen off his horse, and the leaders who were watching the battle from the rear also followed.

"Haha." Guan Sheng glanced at Xuan Zan from the side, then stroked his beautiful beard and nodded with a smile, praising him: "The fight just now was wonderful, and the couple really cooperated well."

"General Guan has a keen eye for talent. Sanlang and Sanniang, you have worked hard just now."

When Song Jiang encouraged Yang Chang and his wife, he did not forget to compliment Guan Sheng first, and his love for him was beyond words.

At this time, the bound Suo Chao was held up by the minions and stood up. He squinted his eyes and cursed: "Hard work? How shameless, the most shameless, you bunch of bandits, you have no martial ethics at all."

"Huh? Hahaha."

Song Jiang and Wu Yong smiled at each other, thinking that you, the vanguard, are really tactless. You were originally going to be tricked into a trap and captured, but now you are captured in the battle between two people. Maybe it is not so embarrassing.

Suo Chao was later brought back to the central army, and was persuaded to surrender by Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others. Suo Chao felt guilty when surrendering alone, but the guilt would be diluted by the number of people, so he also surrendered to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang held a banquet in the camp that day, on the one hand to welcome Suo Chao to join the group, and on the other hand to discuss how to break into the city.

Wu Yong originally wanted to use Suo Chao to trick the city gate open, but unfortunately Suo Chao was not as shameless as Hu Yanzhuo, nor did he have the same acting skills as Hu Yanzhuo, so he had to give up this idea.

When everyone was silent, Hu Yanzhuo suddenly stood up and looked around.

Seeing his eyes wandering around him, Yang Chang immediately had a bad feeling and wondered what this guy wanted to do.
As expected, Hu Yanzhuo stared for a while, then pointed at Yang Chang and said solemnly: "The Yang Chang couple are good at capturing generals in front of the battle? Brother Gongming, why don't you let them continue? If they can capture Wen Da and Li Cheng, why worry about the capture of Daming Mansion?"

"I think it works!"

Song Jiang was in a very good mood today. He was a little drunk at this time. He immediately grabbed Wu Yong's right hand and urged him: "Military Advisor, come up with a few more clever plans. We can take Daming Mansion without bloodshed."

"Commander Huyan's suggestion is good. It is not suitable to attack with force in the current snowy weather. Tomorrow, Yang Chang and his wife can go to the city to challenge Liang Zhongshu and see how he responds. Then we can consider how to break the city."

"Then it's settled."

After receiving Wu Yong's affirmative response, Song Jiang immediately made the decision.

The next morning, Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang went to the central army to pay their respects.

As Song Jiang was still drunk from the previous night, Wu Yong asked Lin Chong to select 500 infantry and cavalry to accompany him to help Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang to hold the line.

Soon, the three men led their troops through the snow to the foot of the city, only to see that the gates of Daming Prefecture were tightly closed and archers were lined up on the city wall ready to shoot.

Seeing this, Lin Chong immediately gave Yang Chang and his wife a warning, saying, "The government troops have been defeated twice in a row, and yesterday they also lost Suo Chao. I'm afraid they won't dare to leave the city again. You must be mentally prepared."

"hehe."

Yang Chang shook his head and smiled, "I didn't have any hope for a long time, but Huyan Commander strongly recommended me, so I still want to give it a try. What if Liang Zhongshu is stupid?"

"How can a prefect be stupid? Besides, he is Cai Jing's son-in-law."

"I was just joking, but you took it seriously. You and Master Lin wait here, and I will go alone to challenge them."

Yang Chang waved gently to Hu Sanniang and Lin Chong, then led his horse to the foot of the city and took a quick look, then raised his gun and began to provoke them.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Although I am more attractive than Wei Jie, it is absolutely impossible for you to watch me being killed. If you have the guts, come down and fight me. Don't be a coward."

Yang was talking nonsense at the foot of the city. Liang Zhongshu on the top of the city frowned and looked at Supervisor Li Cheng and asked, "Who is this fool who compares himself to Wei Jie?"

"I don't have much impression."

Li Cheng shook his head and replied, "He is not the main leader of Liangshan. I have not encountered him in several battles. Maybe he is the same as yesterday morning. Is he a general sent by Song Jiang to lure the enemy?"

"If a general is trying to lure the enemy, he should be prepared to die. How can we allow him to shout so recklessly here? I will go down to the city and kill him to dampen Song Jiang's spirit."

Wen Da turned around and was about to leave, but Liang Zhongshu hurriedly stopped him and warned him sternly, "Supervisor Wen, kill the general and return, don't be like Suo Chao who underestimated the enemy and rushed in, and finally fell into the hands of the bandits."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. I know what's going on."

"Wen Dujian, wait a minute!"

Wen Da had just turned around and taken two steps when he was suddenly called from the back room. He turned around and saw that it was deputy general Zhou Jin. He then frowned and stood still.

"What else do you have to say?"

"This man is no ordinary person. He is the leader of Liangshan, Yang Chang. Suo Tixia was entangled by him and then dragged off his horse by a female general."

At the same time, Zhou Jin pointed to the city wall and reminded everyone, "Supervisor Wen, look quickly. There is also a female general among the people behind Commander Yang. They must be trying to use the same old trick again."

"Let me see."

Li Cheng was the first to stick his head out and look, then quickly turned back to Wen Da and said, "I recognize that woman. She is Yi Zhang Qing whom I met before. She is quite capable. The key is that there is also Lin Chong beside her. This must be the plot of Song Jiang and Wu Yong. Supervisor Wen must not act rashly."

Wen Da was in a dilemma and turned to ask Liang Zhongshu for instructions. Liang Zhongshu looked blankly, twisted his sparse beard, and muttered: "The enemy army is too powerful to be defeated. It is best to hold the city. When the enemy runs out of food, they will retreat. Then we can lead troops to pursue them and win a great victory."

"If we hold our ground, the enemy army will be in trouble due to lack of food, and the villages outside the city will be in danger."

Before Wen Da could finish his words, Liang Zhongshu interrupted him with a stern voice, "Supervisor, you can't be soft-hearted. Guan Sheng's surrender to Liangshan has made him even more powerful. Song Jiang is now a powerful figure and is no longer an opponent we can eliminate. I can't protect everyone in Daming Prefecture. It's not easy to defend Beijing."

"En Xiang, are you going to ask the Grand Tutor for help again?"

Li Cheng reminded carefully, but Liang Zhongshu rolled his eyes and frowned, saying, "We just sent the letter last month. No matter how difficult it is, we have to wait until next year, otherwise the court will say we are incompetent. You wait for Xiaoye to arrange patrols and defend the city. Don't let the bandits get out of line!"

"Yes!"

The generals on the city wall were talking to themselves, which made Yang Chang below the city wall very frustrated. He said, "I knew I wasn't cut out for this," and then returned to the battle formation and sent his minions to take turns shouting and cursing.

The minions kept shouting and cursing for a long time, and the defenders seemed to have become collectively deaf.

After some discussion with Lin Chong, Yang Chang returned to the camp to report to Song Jiang, but Song Jiang was still drunk.

The next morning, Song Jiang suddenly summoned all the leaders. His face turned pale and he looked listless.

Before the other leaders had time to show their concern, Wu Yong said on behalf of Song Jiang, "Brother, you are worried about the loss of our brothers. You have been caught in the cold and frost recently. You have developed a malignant gangrene on your back, which has caused you to be weak now. Fortunately, Heavenly King Chao came to us in a dream last night and told us to return to the army to recuperate. How can we disobey Heavenly King Chao's last wish? You should go and check the troops and horses immediately, and we will break camp and evacuate in a short while."

"Military Advisor, Mr. Lu and the Shi Xiu brothers are back."

Seeing that Song Jiang was still struggling, Wu Yong quickly bent down and comforted him, "Brother, your health is the most important thing. Besides, Chao Tianwang has come to you in a dream, so I think you two brothers will be fine. It won't be too late to come back when you recover."

“I feel guilty”

"Brother, don't say that anymore."

Song Jiang blamed himself and reflected on himself. Li Kui suddenly rushed forward and refuted him in a rough voice: "If brother is in trouble, is there any need for Liangshan to exist? When brother recovers, I will not only follow you to capture Damingfu, but also go to Tokyo to seize the throne."

"You are talking nonsense again, cough cough"

While Wu Yong was helping Song Jiang calm down, he said to everyone, "Everyone, please stand up. Only Zhang Shun will be the one to take care of things."

"Yes."

The leaders responded by marching out of the central army and then returning to their respective camps to prepare their troops.

Yang Chang glanced back at the big tent, thinking that Chao Gai had fought with you like that, it was a blessing that he didn't turn into a fierce ghost to take your life, how could he have asked you to withdraw in a dream? It was obvious that he had done something bad and had a sore, so he wanted to withdraw to Liangshan to heal his wounds but was afraid of gossip, so he brought up Chao Gai to shut up the gossip.

Poor Chao Gai was sidelined during his lifetime, and Song Jiang never mentioned revenge after his death. Now he is pulling out his corpse and whipping it for further use.

The Liangshan camps received the order to withdraw, and they broke camp and retreated slowly at noon that day. The defenders in the city were afraid of a trap and did not dare to pursue, so they returned to the water without any trouble.

As soon as Song Jiang returned to the mountain, he was bedridden. The carbuncle on his back made him unable to eat or sleep well. His fat, dark face became thinner and his mental state became worse and worse.

Mid-October 2nd, the third day of retreating to Liangshan.

Yang Chang left Song Jiang's room and saw that Hu Sanniang looked very strange, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?"

"I am"

Seeing that there were many people around, Hu Sanniang took Yang Chang to a secluded place and whispered, "Sir, don't you think he looks familiar? There are people coming and going in front of Song Gongming's door. Does he look like King Chao back then?"

"Hmm? No way."

Yang Chang admired Hu Sanniang's boldness, but he shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing Hu Sanniang's puzzled expression, Yang Chang immediately leaned over to her side and whispered, "That day Wu Yong left Zhang Shun behind to go to Nanjing to invite An Daoquan. When he returned to the mountain, he did not see Dai Zong show up. He must have rushed to meet them. The miracle doctor will probably arrive soon."

"Is An Daoquan really that powerful? I heard that Wang Aihu was one of them..." Wang Aihu was going to find a miracle doctor to graft his roots, so Hu Sanniang naturally stopped talking at the end.

Yang Chang said with a smile: "An Daoquan is known as a miracle doctor, so he is naturally better than ordinary doctors. Anyway, if he goes to Liangshan, we don't have to worry about being injured and dying. If Chao Tianwang had been treated by him at that time, perhaps he could have saved his life."

"so smart."

Hu Sanniang swallowed and seemed to be thinking about something.

Yang Chang smiled and said nothing more. He then took Hu Sanniang to talk to Wu Song. On the way, they happened to meet Hua Rong and Li Kui leading the way, and behind them was Dai Zong leading a stranger.

The man had kind eyes and a medicine box on his shoulder. Who else could it be but the miracle doctor An Daoquan?
Daming Prefecture is more than a thousand miles away from Jinling, and it is another eight or nine hundred miles from Jinling to Liangshan. It has been less than half a month since the Liangshan troops retreated from Daming Prefecture.

People are different. When Chao Gai was shot by an arrow and sent to Liangshan, Dai Zong just passed the order back and forth, and there was no order to invite a famous doctor thousands of miles away. But when Song Jiang got a sore and was in danger, Zhang Shun and Dai Zong were willing to run their legs off. So Liangshan also values ​​black lives? (Hei Sanlang)
An Daoquan was a skilled doctor. He went up the mountain and cured Song Jiang's illness. Song Jiang's complexion returned to normal in five days, and he could eat and drink as usual in ten days.

When Hu Sanniang saw Song Jiang recover so quickly, she realized that what Yang Chang said was true and that An Daoquan was indeed not an ordinary doctor.

It is the end of the year, and insects and animals are dormant.

Song Jiang recuperated in Liangshan, and agreed with Wu Yong to lead troops to attack Damingfu for the third time in the early spring of next year.

The end of the year is approaching on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the human relationships and worldly affairs are inevitable in Liangshan.

Yang Chang packed a few jars of homemade rice wine, as well as some game that Yang De had pickled himself, and wanted to give them to a few good friends as New Year's gifts.

Seeing Hu Sanniang bringing eight small empty jars, Yang Chang asked curiously, "I only planned to take care of my second brother, Zhu Jieji, Lu Tixia, Lin Jiaotou, Sun Tixia, Li Jun, and Xiao Rang. Who are you going to give this extra jar to?"

"You are always smart, why don't you take a guess?"

Seeing Hu Sanniang playing dumb with a smile, Yang Chang suddenly became interested and asked tentatively: "Song Jiang? He doesn't need it."

"No."

"Old Grandpa or Fourth Brother Song?"

"Not at all."

"Shi Jia Da Lang?"

"No."

"Mr. Yiqing?"

Yang Chang guessed eight or nine people in a row and almost said the "right one" Hu Yanzhuo, but Hu Sanniang gave the answer An Daoquan.

"An Daoquan? Why does he do that?"

"I heard from my second brother that the master's injury is more difficult to heal than that of ordinary people. Don't you want to befriend this miracle doctor?"

"Well, I'm speechless, but can't you just look at me a little better?"

“Be prepared!”

Hu Sanniang packed the wine into the jar without saying a word, and then Yang Chang put the wine and meat in two baskets. The couple followed and went up the mountain to present the gifts.

Liangshan was a small society, and it was normal for people to interact with each other during the New Year. Gifts were generally purchased by asking people to buy them at the foot of the mountain. However, Yang Chang was the only one in Liangshan who made his own food and served as a porter himself.

When Wu Song saw Yang Chang carrying a load on his shoulder, he thought of Wu Da selling sesame cakes on his shoulder. He also married a beautiful woman, but her wife was not as virtuous as Hu Sanniang.

Envious but not jealous or hateful, Wu Song went back to his room, secretly wiped away his tears, and ran straight to Lu Zhishen's Zen room. He planned to give up the reunion at Erlongshan and instead celebrate the New Year with his own family.

Yang Chang was completely unaware of all this. He and Hu Sanniang went to each house in order, and finally arrived at An Daoquan's residence.

An Daoquan was originally living a good life, but Zhang Shun used a scheme to wipe out his entire family in order to lure him to the mountains.

He made great contributions by curing Song Jiang in Liangshan, but he was just praised highly and then let go easily, which was equivalent to special talents like Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian. He went to the mountain late and had few friends. Except for the expenses allocated by the mountain stronghold, no one gave gifts to Doctor An, and Yang Chang accidentally became his first friend.

Yang Chang gave the gift and was about to leave, but Hu Sanniang suddenly changed her attitude and said with a smile, "Sir, don't be in a hurry to leave. Since we are here, why don't you ask the doctor to take your pulse? If there is any minor problem, it can be treated."

“I’m not sick.”

Before Yang Chang could finish his words, Hu Sanniang was already bowing to An Daoquan.

"I want to see"

"As the saying goes, a good doctor treats illness before it occurs. My sister-in-law's idea is very sound. I have nothing to do today. Please..."

An Daoquan motioned Hu Sanniang to sit down, then he held her wrist, closed his eyes and felt her pulse. After a moment, he opened his eyes and twirled his beard, smiling, "Except for her poor spleen and stomach, everything else is fine. I guess it's because she didn't eat well during the march. You can eat something good while you're in the mountains."

"No other questions?"

"No"

Hu Sanniang's follow-up question surprised An Daoquan. He wondered if anyone else hoped to be sick. But he couldn't ask any more. Then he saw her pull Yang Chang to sit down and said with a smile, "Please take a look at my husband too."

"no problem."

After An Daoquan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to feel Hu Sanniang's pulse. He saw that Hu Sanniang's expression was tense, and suddenly he seemed to understand something, so he put his left hand on her and then his right hand, and it took a while before he withdrew his hands and gave a conclusion.

"Brother Yang is as strong as an ox, so my sister-in-law doesn't need to worry at all. As for the fact that you haven't had a son or a daughter after two years of marriage, it has nothing to do with your physical condition. It will come naturally when fate allows. Anyway, you are so young, and you still have a long life ahead of you."

"Oh"

Hu Sanniang was not actually in a hurry to give birth, but she was still a little anxious because her belly had not moved for a long time.

Hearing An Daoquan talking about fate, she finally let go of her feelings. She could only let her man continue to work. Her uncle and aunt could grow good crops in the wasteland in the back mountain, and Hu Sanniang didn't believe that she would not get anything.

New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye. Because Song Jiang was recuperating from illness, he did not prepare a big banquet in advance.

As the year drew to a close, Song Jiang felt much better and wanted to organize a small gathering for important leaders, so he asked Song Qing to prepare five tables of banquets.

And let people notify Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, Shi Jin, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Li Jun, and Zhang Shun.

When it was time to take their seat at noon, the leaders came to Zhongyi Hall one after another, and as a result, one and a half tables were missing.

"Envoy Yang, why didn't Master Lu and Brother Wu Song come? Are they celebrating the New Year with the brothers at Erlongshan?"

“It seems like they went to the back mountain early in the morning.”

"Captain Lei, Brother Zhu also went to the back mountain?"

"should be"

Song Jiang did not ask Shi Jin and Li Jun again. They must have gone to Yang Changzhai for the New Year reunion. This guy has quite a connection.

Seeing Song Jiang frowning, Song Qing thought to himself that I should suggest inviting Yang Chang and his wife, so he quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Brother, maybe I informed you too late. Why don't you clear a table now?"

"Why remove him? Are you afraid that people won't be able to sit full?"

Song Jiang smiled contemptuously, thinking that he had many confidants, and then added: "There are only six positions. Go and call Yang Xiong, Chai Jin, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Jie Zhen, and Jie Bao."

"I'll go."

"Wait a minute, Silang."

Song Qing turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped by Song Jiang again.

It turned out that as soon as Heisabalang said this, he immediately realized that there was some sourness in his words, and thought that this was not the mind of a village leader.

Besides, Chao Gai is already dead. If I quibble with Yang Chang, wouldn't I appear to be narrow-minded in front of others? Especially the newly recruited general Guan Sheng, he seems to have a good impression of Yang Chang.

Thinking of these key points, Song Jiang immediately smiled at everyone.

"Wu Dutou and Zhu Jieji went to Yang Changtuan to celebrate the New Year, and Lin Jiaotou went to his disciple Cao Zheng to celebrate the New Year. They are all more or less close. Master Lu may follow him to Zuo Xiaozhai, or follow Master Shi to You Xiaozhai. Anyway, the back mountain will be very lively today. I'm afraid that they are not well prepared, and they will not have a happy New Year. Silang, have someone send more wine and raw meat, and all expenses will be charged to me."

"okay."

Song Qing secretly applauded after hearing this, thinking that his brother did the right thing, while Wu Yong could not help but praise him in person.

"Brother Gongming is really thoughtful. Liangshan really can't live without you for a day. They were drinking in the back mountain today, just like they were in front of me."

"Well said, sir, if you can speak, please say more."

Li Kui took the lead in making a noise, and Hua Rong, Dai Zong and others followed suit in flattering him. Song Jiang found what he heard quite useful.

Thinking of the unpleasantness just now, Song Jiang reflected that there was no need to be so nervous, as he had no rivals in Liangshan now.

Yang Chang didn't think about competing with Lao Song. He specially prepared more food today because he was worried that Wu Song or others would come to celebrate the New Year together. As a result, Wu Song brought several strong men.

However, Wu Song and others were just the beginning. In the end, the number of leaders who gathered in the back mountain for the reunion was almost comparable to that of the Loyalty Hall on the mountain.

　Don't rush me, old man. Six or seven thousand a day is not a small amount. Many people write two thousand a chapter. The author is clumsy and can't code fast.
