Chapter 133 You are a ruthless person (6k)
After drinking two rounds of wine with Feng Mei, Bi Sheng took him to meet Tong Guan.
Now they are all in the same boat, and they need to unify their external statements in advance, so speaking well of Song Jiang and Liangshan will basically fall on deaf ears.
Tong Guan met Feng Mei and obtained a lot of intelligence about Liangshan, which he then shared with Gao Qiu to defeat the enemy, while he himself was busy with diplomatic affairs.
It was not necessary for Tong Guan to be present to receive the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, but it was Huizong who was hesitant.
Ten years have passed since the first year of Zhenghe when the Yan man Ma Zhi proposed the strategy of "allying with Jin to destroy Liao" to Tong Guan. There have been intermittent exchanges between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin people, but the continued existence of internal resistance and the constant changes in the outside world have always made Zhao Ji waver.
After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he used the Yuanfeng New Party. Although it suppressed the Yuanyou Old Party, conservative forces still existed in the country.
The old school was accustomed to living in peace with the Liao Kingdom and the economic benefits brought by the bilateral trade market, and did not want the instability brought about by war.
External reasons included warnings from the Kingdom of Goryeo. They felt that the Jurchens were a country of tigers and wolves. The entire country of Goryeo had begun preparing for war and defense, and suggested that the Song Dynasty should not have any dealings with the Jurchens.
Of course, Zhao Ji and the pro-war court officials would not listen to this argument of making the country a vassal state. The key point was that Wanyan Aguda was too good at fighting. During his relationship with the Northern Song Dynasty, he launched an uprising against the Liao Dynasty, established the Jin Dynasty, and took the initiative in the war at an incredibly fast speed.
This is just like Yang Chang in Song Jiang's perspective, a small supporting character known by Kongjiazhuang. Who would have thought that he would grow into such a macho man in just a few years?
Song Jiang was not confident in Yang Chang, so how could Zhao Ji be confident in the Kingdom of Jin?
The relationships between people are so complicated, and the relationships between countries are even more complicated.
Zhao Ji believed that he could use the Jin Kingdom to help him recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, while Aguda believed that an alliance with the Song Dynasty would quickly disintegrate the Liao Kingdom's military power.
The Song Dynasty hoped to sit on the mountain and watch the two tigers fight, and then reap the benefits. While the Jin Dynasty was negotiating an alliance with the Song Dynasty, it was also conducting war negotiations with the Liao Dynasty.
As the Jurchens were too few in number, Aguda needed time to consolidate the fruits of victory and also wanted to weaken the Liao’s morale through negotiations. So when the rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty heard about this, they decided not to send troops to the north.
Without the main force of the Jurchens, the Song people had no confidence in taking back Yanyun.
Tong Shili believed that the Jin Kingdom had broken its agreement with the Liao Kingdom during the negotiations and that the Jin envoy should be sent away directly. Quan Bangyan believed that expelling the Jin envoy would give Aguda an excuse and indirectly provoke a powerful enemy in the north.
Tong Guan was a pro-war faction. After returning to Beijing, he still insisted on forming an alliance, believing that using the negotiations between Jin and Liao as a basis would allow him to gain more benefits by dividing the Liao Kingdom in the future.
Prime Minister Wang Fu and Tong Guan did not get along, so he tried to smooth things over in front of Zhao Ji, proposing an extreme decision that would be detrimental to the country. In addition, the country had huge expenses such as the Yellow River floods and bandit suppression, and the country's strength at this time could not support the Northern Expedition. He suggested using the "delay tactic" to stabilize the Jin Kingdom and wait until the Liao Kingdom completely collapsed before sending troops.
Zhao Ji considered everyone's opinions and finally chose Wang Fu's doctrine of the mean. He used the unique language art of Chinese characters to write an ambiguous letter to Aguda, but this also laid hidden dangers for the Northern Song Dynasty.
How Tong Guan dealt with the Jin envoy is not described, but Gao Qiu was ordered to lead the expedition to suppress Liangshan.
In mid-July, Gao Qiu delayed the preparations for ten months before leading the imperial camp troops out of the city. Before leaving, he selected more than 30 people from the Music Bureau to sing and dance with the army for entertainment.
A spy had already returned to Liangshan on horseback. After receiving the intelligence, Song Jiang and Wu Yong immediately made arrangements. Since Feng Mei could not persuade the emperor, they could only defeat Gao Qiu after Tong Guan. They did not believe that the emperor could not see the strength of Liangshan.
Gao Qiu deployed 130,000 troops in Jizhou. Most of the leaders of Liangshan had combat missions. However, Yang Chang, who was a capable general, had been recuperating for a long time due to injuries in the previous battle. Out of "care" for his brothers, Song Jiang deliberately kept him as the general guarding the mountain.
In fact, Yang Chang had already recovered, and even his scars had been removed by An Daoquan, but how could Song Jiang dare to let him fight again?
If he lets the kid go down the mountain to perform meritorious deeds, not only will he steal the limelight from the Five Tigers and Eight Horsemen, but even his own position as the village chief will be unstable.
Yang Chang originally wanted to sneak down the mountain to pick up the corpse, but Hu Sanniang kept guarding him and refused. Even though she was a woman, she could see that Song Jiang did it on purpose. Her man was so brilliant, how could he not make outsiders jealous?
At the end of July, all the heroes went down the mountain to fight.
Yang Chang had nothing to do on the mountain, so he took Hu Sanniang to the back mountain to visit Yang De.
The wheat sown in spring and the radishes planted in early summer have now reached maturity, and Yang Jian has also been helping during this period.
When Yang Chang and his wife arrived, Yang De and Yang Jian were threshing wheat manually by beating it with small sticks under the shade of a tree, while Lu was cutting up the radishes she had harvested and letting them blow in the wind, as if they were unaffected by the fighting on the water.
Hu Sanniang took the initiative to help Lu, while Yang Changze came to Yang Jian and helped to hit the wheat ears with a small stick. However, this guy didn't control his strength well and turned the wheat into powder with one stick.
Seeing Yang De staring at him, Yang Chang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, I haven't done it for a long time, so I am a little rusty."
"Sanlang is a general now, how can he do such rough work? Go sit down and enjoy the cool air and take a rest." After saying that, Yang De snatched the wooden stick from his hand.
Yang Jian spread his hands, showing an expression that he was not talking nonsense. Yang Chang smiled and came to the nearby slope. He found that there were only a few figures left in the dry camp at the bottom of the slope in front. They should have gone out to fight with Hu Yanzhuo.
Thinking of this, Yang Chang suddenly turned around and looked at Yang De and asked a strange question.
"Fifth Uncle, the imperial army is coming to suppress us, aren't you worried at all?"
"Worry? Why should I worry? You're not worried at all."
Seeing Yang De's indifferent expression, Yang Chang thought that he was quite open-minded, so he nodded and said, "Fifth uncle has a good attitude. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Gao Qiu can't get in this time. I guess the court will be able to recruit him soon."
"So fast?"
"Hmm? Fifth uncle doesn't seem to be willing? Brother Jian and Xiao Rang can read and write. After they are recruited, I will find a way to find him a job as a minor official in the county. Then he won't have to work so hard."
"It would be great if Jian could get a job as an official, but if he wants to help oppress the good, it would be better for him to stay in Liangshan and farm. At least we can be self-sufficient. It would be great if it could be like this forever."
"Uh"
After listening to Yang De's "profound theory", Yang Chang couldn't help but be stunned.
Uncle Wu regards this place as a paradise, but unfortunately he has no say on whether Liangshan will surrender or not. Ordinary people have no choice where to go.
In fact, Yang De’s mentality is the same as that of the future working class with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. He believes that national affairs have nothing to do with him. In fact, the rise and fall of a country has the most direct impact on ordinary people. When it comes to the moment of national overthrow, the powerful may still have ways to get away, but ordinary people can only act as cannon fodder or fish.
Thinking of the Jing Kang in the future, Yang Chang couldn't help but feel nervous. If he really went to cultivate immortality in the future, it would be very dangerous for Yang De to stay in the Central Plains.
Plan ahead to Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places?
The key is that Yang De has a rather stubborn personality and may not be willing to go that far.
Thinking of this, Yang Chang, who returned to the top of the mountain, suddenly sighed: "Alas"
"What's wrong, sir? Are you unhappy that you couldn't come down the mountain? When Brother Gongming returns to the mountain this time, I will go to him in person to ask for the opportunity."
"No, I just remembered that my painted halberd was broken and I haven't had time to polish it. Yes, yes, yes, let's go to the armor workshop and ask Tang Long to make a new weapon."
"Oh"
Seeing that Yang Chang was speaking seriously, Hu Sanniang followed him to the weapons workshop in the north of the city.
The sun was setting and the heat in Wanzi City had subsided a lot. Tang Long had no forging tasks recently, so he took advantage of the sunset to practice his spear skills.
There was no one guarding outside the workshop, so Mr. and Mrs. Yang went straight in.
When Hu Sanniang saw Tang Long wielding a spear, she said to Yang Chang with a curious look on her face, "Sir, I didn't realize before that Chief Tang is such a good spearman."
"Hmm, it looks familiar."
Yang Chang's martial arts skills were at the level of the Five Tigers, and he also picked up a Fang Tian Hua Ji as his weapon, so he didn't pay attention to this little Karami.
Hu Sanniang's eyes suddenly widened, and she clapped her hands fiercely and said, "Yes, it's the hook-and-sickle spear technique!"
"Hook-and-Sickle Spear Technique? Isn't that Master Xu's family secret technique? I heard it's never passed down to outsiders."
While Yang Chang was muttering to himself, Tang Long had already heard the conversation between the two men. He immediately put away his gun and walked towards the two men.
"I am a relative of Coach Xu. His family's hook-and-sickle spear technique is not passed on to outsiders. However, we have all become bandits in Liangshan now, so we don't have to follow the rules so strictly. Why are you here, brother?"
"Oh, I want to make a weapon." Yang Chang nodded and expressed his intention.
Xu Ning was willing to teach the hook-and-sickle spear technique, in addition to the external reasons Tang Long just mentioned, the main reason was to seal the poisoned arrowhead.
Upon hearing that Yang Chang wanted to use the Phoenix-wing Gilded Halberd, Tang Long immediately showed an expression of admiration, thinking that he was indeed a fierce general who could defeat a thousand men at the same time. How could an ordinary person wield such a heavy weapon?
"Brother, if the halberd handle is also made of steel, the final weight will be very heavy. How heavy do you want it to be?"
"Sixty pounds is fine."
"Well."
Yang Chang had the strength of a tiger, so he could easily use a hundred kilograms, but Lu Zhishen's staff only weighed sixty-two kilograms, so he thought he should be more modest.
Originally, the Fang Tian Hua Ji would have been enough, but Yang Chang had the [Drug Inhibition Body], and his recovery time from injuries was longer than that of ordinary people, so he had to improve his heavy weapons to make himself more suppressive on the battlefield.
If the defense is not enough, you can only stack more attacks and use offense instead of defense.
When I left the weapons workshop and was on my way back to my residence, I saw a few minions walking hurriedly.
When he got closer, he found that it was a servant in the kitchen. It turned out that Song Jiang had defeated Gao Qiu in succession recently and had just captured a governor and brought him up the mountain. He was now arranging a celebratory wine party in the Loyalty Hall.
The governor was Han Cunbao, and Song Jiang treated him with the same courtesy as Fengmei.
Han Cunbao was used to using the Fang Tian Hua Ji, so at the celebration banquet that night, Song Jiang specially called Yang Chang to accompany him and praised him as an expert in using the Fang Tian Hua Ji, as it was at his hands that Feng Mei was defeated.
By doing this, Song Jiang killed two birds with one stone. He not only affirmed Yang Chang to everyone, but also brought up the topic of Feng Mei, reaffirming his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.
Han Cunbao nodded continuously as he listened, and was then let down the mountain after staying overnight.
When he returned to Jeju and talked about the amnesty, he was slandered by Gao Qiu as a thief. If it were not for the pleading of his colleagues, he would have almost died at the hands of Gao Qiu.
Han Cunbao was not a nobody. He was the nephew of Duke Yiguo Han Zhongyan (Han Qi's eldest son).
Although Han Zhongyan has passed away, he still has many students and former officials in the court. Among them, the current Imperial Censor Zheng Juzhong was once promoted by Han Zhongyan.
Han Cunbao was taken back to the capital and found Zheng Juzhong to talk about the Liangshan affairs. Zheng Juzhong then took him to find Shangshu Yu Shen, and finally found Cai Jing.
Cai Jing saw that the situation was out of control and that if he did not agree to the amnesty, it would incur public anger, so he went to the palace to meet the emperor and ask for amnesty.
Zhao Ji had learned from Feng Mei that Yang Chang was brave enough to fight against ten thousand men, and he also wanted to put an end to the mess in Liangshan as soon as possible and find a good father for Zhao Fujin's unborn child.
However, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu had surrendered one after another, making it difficult for Zhao Ji to back down. In addition, he had been busy discussing matters with the Jin envoys recently, so he did not take the idea of recruiting the Jin people seriously.
When Cai Jing mentioned this, Zhao Ji went with the flow and appointed Cai Yu as the envoy.
Thinking about how his daughter was drugged by Cai Gui, but he had never found an excuse to punish him, this time he sent him to recruit Liangshan and personally bring back Yang Chang who had intercepted him, which could be regarded as a kind of mental whipping.
In August, Cai Yu brought the imperial edict to Jeju.
Gao Qiu dismissed his attendants and left Cai Yu alone to ask, "My dear nephew, the Grand Master has a great hatred for Liangshan, why did you promote the recruitment of Liangshan?"
"Han Cunbao found Zheng Juzhong and Yu Shen, and my father was forced to follow his orders. Taiwei, please read this line of the imperial edict carefully, 'Except Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and other people, both big and small, who have committed crimes, they will be pardoned.' Just count 'Except Song Jiang' as a single sentence, this is a backup plan my father deliberately left."
"Wonderful!"
Gao Qiu clapped his hands in delight, but suddenly frowned again and murmured, "My dear nephew, I have been ordered to surrender. If I fail to do my job well, I am afraid I will be implicated."
"As long as we conquer the waters, it doesn't matter whether we are recruited or not. My father wants me to stay under the command of the Grand Commandant, hoping that I can accumulate some military merits and return to follow Tong Shumi."
Cai Yu said this with a serious face. The Cai family had searched for famous doctors during this period and also found many women to go home to cheer them up. That thing seemed to be broken and always pointed to the six o'clock position. Perhaps in the future he could only imitate Tong Guan.
Gao Qiu didn't know what he was thinking, and thought it was Cai Jing's deliberate arrangement, so he laughed and sighed: "Haha, if Tong Shumi can take over Yanyun, it will be a great achievement. The Grand Tutor is thoughtful. My dear nephew, don't worry about coming here. I will make good arrangements."
"My nephew has another request."
"Please speak." "When the time comes, I want to skin the couple alive."
"Haha, it's a small matter."
Hu Sanniang kicked off his offspring, Yang Chang snatched away the woman he loved, and Cai Yu had nightmares every day.
The request made at this time was not considered a request in Gao Qiu's eyes. He thought that let alone skinning a man and a woman alive, as long as a few bandit leaders were saved and returned to Beijing, the rest could be dealt with as he pleased.
After Yang Chang and his wife guarded the mountain in July, they were still not allowed to fight the enemy in August.
Of course, Song Jiang's reason this time was valid, because the battle was mainly fought on a ship, and the Liangshan cavalry had no chance to take to the field. The main force was the thousands of sailors.
At the end of August, Gao Qiu sent someone to summon Song Jiang and asked him to lead his people to Jizhou to accept amnesty.
Wu Yong calculated that Gao Qiu had ill intentions, and immediately deployed regular troops and ambush troops to deal with him. Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang were ordered to lead a thousand followers to ambush and wait in the northwest of Jeju. When they heard the signal cannon, they would charge towards the north gate of Jeju.
Later, when Gao Qiu saw that his attempt to lure the enemy failed, he ordered the ambush troops in the city to go out and pursue them. As a result, they were attacked from three directions and were defeated.
As they were too close to Jeju, Song Jiang decisively withdrew his troops after his victory and ordered not to pursue or clean up the battlefield. When Yang Chang saw the flashes on the ground, he had to leave even though he was worried.
What Yang Chang didn't know was that his 'rival' Cai Yu was also thinking about him.
Cai Yi asked his deputy to read the imperial edict, while he hid aside and observed secretly. He was looking for Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang. As a result, Hua Rong shot and killed his deputy with an arrow under the city. He was so scared that his crotch felt hot and he shrank under the wall with his head in his hands.
Afterwards, Gao Qiu wrote a memorial to the emperor, saying that Song Jiang was rebellious and refused to submit to amnesty, and asked the court for more troops.
Not long after, Liangshan spies learned that the government army was planning to build a large ship, and Wu Yong suggested sending a few brothers to sabotage it.
Song Jiang wanted to destroy Yang Chang's image, so he deliberately praised him for being cautious and capable, and asked him to go for a trip with Shi Qian.
Although Shi Qian is very capable, he is just a petty thief after all, and is at the bottom of the underworld contempt chain.
Seeing that he couldn't suppress Yang Chang, Song Jiang thought that letting him associate with the bandits would be a good way to corrupt him. He thought Yang Chang would refuse, but unexpectedly Yang readily agreed.
As the saying goes, there must be a teacher among three people. Yang Chang did not look down on Shi Qian in his heart. He believed that such special talents should be valued. On the way, he even asked him for advice on his experience in the martial arts world.
By mid-September, the summer heat has gone.
Dozens of shipyards were built in the East Road area of Jeju, and thousands of craftsmen were employed to build giant eel ships.
Yang Chang and Shi Qian disguised themselves as laborers and sneaked into the shipbuilding area at the agreed time.
After some reconnaissance, Shi Qian offered a suggestion to Yang Chang: "Brother is a peerless hero. Sun and Zhang are planning to set fire to the shipyard. If you and I go there, it won't show how powerful you are."
"What's your trick?"
"We'll set up an ambush in advance. When we see the fire in the shipyard, I'll rush to the city gate and wait. By then, there will be reinforcements. I'll sneak into the city and set fire to the tower. I'll go to the hayfield in the west of the city and set fire to it. How do you think?"
"Haha, you can."
Shi Qian had a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance, and his brain was very flexible, which made Yang Chang nod in affirmation.
After the two men finished their discussion, they parted ways and looked for places to hide.
Yang Chang had experience in traveling at night, and when it got dark that day, he had successfully reached the vicinity of the hayfield.
At about the second watch, fires broke out in two shipyards in the distance.
The guards of the hay yard all ran out to watch, and Yang Chang took advantage of the chaos to slip into the yard. He needed to scout the area and find a retreat route before setting the fire to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Soon, the Jeju city wall also caught fire.
Yang Chang also climbed onto a grass field and saw several piles of fodder in front, behind, and on both sides. He thought to himself that if he was going to do it, he should do it the best he could. He calmly took out a few bamboo tubes for starting fires.
Click one, throw one.
Throw one and light a bunch.
Yang Chang was throwing something to start the fire, when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He had the [Power of a Tiger] and [Meteor Fragments], so could he just throw the cannonballs directly?
If you encounter a city that is difficult to conquer, you can just throw cannonballs outside the city, perfectly solving the problem of artillery hits.
Humanoid gun mount? Pleasure gun king?
Am I not a genius?
The guy laughed out loud at the thought, and the guards who were guarding the hayfield were in chaos.
"Who's up there? Why aren't you coming down to put out the fire?"
"Ok?"
Yang Chang climbed to the edge and saw that it was a guard leader on horseback.
My buddy was just worried about not having a mount to ride, and you came and gave it to me? You are really a good assistant!
"Just come!"
"Hmm? That voice sounds familiar."
As Yang Chang responded, he took out a flying knife from his waist. The man on the horse was stunned at first, and then was shot off the horse by the flying knife.
The guards were all busy putting out the fire, except for the pile of hay under Yang Chang that was not burning, so no one noticed that the officer had been killed.
Yang Chang jumped down from above and reached out to retrieve his flying knife. He didn't expect anything to fall, but the corpse gave him a surprise.
[Obtain Junxiu, which can improve your appearance and charm after use. Please choose to use or discard. 】
Good looks?
There is such a drop?
Although my buddy is good-looking, who can resist such attributes?
Just as Yang Changyou was using his mind, a prompt immediately came from his sea of consciousness.
[Note: Junxiu and the leader have some similar attributes, and will replace the original entry after use.]
Damn! That was a close call!
Chao Gai's [Leader] attribute is to increase prestige and charm. For Yang Chang at this time, prestige is obviously more useful than appearance, and this thing can make people support him.
Even if some people support him too much, it is still more important than face. After all, Yang Chang is indeed good-looking.
Further exploration.
[Obtain the corpse's obsession. After using it, you can learn the biggest secret of this corpse before its death. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]
[You like the gangsters? Do you know that I am braver than the so-called heroes? Who dares to use drugs to rape the emperor's daughter? I dare! I almost had you, and almost married the emperor's daughter, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of that Liangshan thief, and I was kicked in the lower body by that thief woman. Afterwards, I couldn't lift my body even with drugs. Why did fate play such a trick on me? I, Cai Yu, will not accept this! ]
Oh shit, this is actually Cai Yu?
The peerless beauty that night was actually the princess of the current dynasty?
Yang Chang was stunned on the spot. His mind was a little confused. He wondered if the emperor would kill him if he continued to seek amnesty.
and many more.
The princess seems to be very satisfied with me. She is willing to protect Pan Jinlian, so what should I worry about?
If I surrender, I will become the prince consort?
wrong.
What should Sanniang do?
Can the emperor's daughter bend down and become his mistress? What if they force me to divorce her? I will never agree to that.
The princess is indeed very beautiful, but how could I let Sanniang down?
Besides, my goal is to cultivate immortality. Having a spoiled princess around would be a burden, right?
Forget it, it was just a fleeting romance that happened by chance. Maybe the emperor has already married the princess off. Why should I bother myself with this?
"Ok?"
Since the thing had fallen was gone, Yang Chang was distracted for a moment, but there was another little flash in Cai Yu's arms.
Should I give up what Junxiu gave me?
Yang Chang leaned over and found nothing unusual, so he reached into Cai Yu's arms and took out a small bottle, but there was no sign.
By observing with the weak light of the fire, I found that it was a small red bottle.
Why are you so perfunctory this time? No hint at all?
Yang Chang put the red bottle into his arms and was shocked to see that the flash on Cai Yu's chest was still there.
Did I take the wrong thing? So I reached into my clothes again.
[The facial repair liquid is applied to the scar epidermis to restore it to its pre-injury state. It will take effect in three to seven days. ]
that's?
Yang Chang took a look at it and found it was a thumb-sized green porcelain bottle. He thought to himself that this was the real thing that had fallen. This kind of beauty product could be sold at a sky-high price in the future.
The sword scars on his body were eighty percent gone after using An Daoquan's medicine, and he thought it would be a waste of money to use the [Facial Repairing Fluid] to consolidate them.
Save it for later?
Wait a minute, I think I can give it to my second brother. If I wipe off the gold seal on his face, he doesn’t even need to pretend to be a monk.
Yang Chang happily put it in his arms, rode away on Cai Yu's horse, and soon disappeared into the night.
As for the sound of fighting not far away, it should be Zhang Qing and other rescuers who collided with the government troops who arrived. That was not something Yang Chang should consider.
We couldn't speed up as we were traveling in the dark, so we took a detour around the water to get to Dongshan Hotel. It was already the next morning.
On the way to Golden Beach, Yang Chang took out two porcelain bottles from his arms and observed them, wondering what the red bottle was used for. Could it be a beauty product? He opened the bottle stopper and sniffed it gently, and soon his body became restless.
No, could the stuff in this bottle be some kind of aphrodisiac?
Combining the secret left by Cai Yu and Yang Chang's personal experience just now, he can conclude that the red bottle is an aphrodisiac. Fortunately, not much is inhaled into the nasal cavity, and it is controlled by [Drug Inhibitor], otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of the minions.
Cai Yu, ah Cai Yu, you are a ruthless person.
If you can't get a woman, you'll have to drug her to get her.
Yang Chang did not rest last night. He went home and slept until he was woken up by Hu Sanniang at night.
Shi Qian, Zhang Qing, and Sun Xin and his wife all returned to the village safely in the afternoon.
Song Jiang held a banquet that night to reward the six people. During the banquet, he praised them for doing a good job and said that he would often arrange such undercover missions for them in the future. Wu Song, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Sun Li and others all came to accompany them.
After the banquet, Yang Chang sent Wu Song back to his residence, took out the small green bottle and said, "Brother, I went out to do some work yesterday and found this on an officer. It was wrapped with a small note saying that it can heal scars. I was thinking about the gold seal on your face, how about applying it?"
"Where can I find such a miraculous medicine? An Daoquan is so skilled in medicine, but he couldn't remove Brother Gongming's golden seal. Why should I..."
"Try it. My second brother is not even afraid of tigers."
"Well, Sanlang, just wipe it off. It doesn't matter to Second Brother's face anyway."
Wu Song originally didn't care, but after being provoked by Yang Chang, he immediately agreed to let him do it.
After about six or seven days, Wu Song suddenly found Yang Chang with an excited look on his face, lifted his hair and said, "Sanlang, take a look, the potion we applied that night was really magical. Second brother had scabs for several days, but after peeling them three times, they were back to normal. Do you have any more in the bottle? I guess many brothers would like to use it."
"Gone."
Yang Chang spread his hands, shook his head and said, "The remaining half bottle of potion was used by Zhu Jieji. You all have good looks to begin with, and removing the golden seal can complement each other. Those who are originally ugly, isn't it a waste of talent to use it?"
"Well, that makes sense."
After hearing this, Wu Song smiled awkwardly, thinking that the ugly melon and jujube that Sanlang mentioned couldn't be Brother Gongming, right?
Anyone with a little bit of common sense can see that Song Jiang is very afraid of Yang Chang, and is even targeting him openly or secretly. How could someone as smart as Wu Song not see this?
As long as the two of them don't fall out, Wu Song will naturally be on good terms with them.
If the two of them could not reconcile in the future, Wu Song would stand by Yang Chang without hesitation. Even if there was no brotherhood of life and death, the favor of restoring his own appearance was something Song Jiang could not match.
