Chapter 76 In one word, absolutely!
The two small camps at the docks were looked down upon, and the water camp of the three Ruan brothers could not be penetrated either. The only one left was the dry camp on the right side of the mountain, which was currently led by Lin Chong and the deputy general Dai Zong.
If Song Jiang forced two people to go in, there would be suspicion of undermining Lin Chong.
Hei Cuoniao then suggested to Chao Gai that they should serve as deputy generals in the left and right dry camps respectively, but Chao Gai declined on the grounds that their martial arts skills were not very high.
In order to fulfill his promise, Song Jiang had to give up Zheng Tianshou's position adjustment and let him open a store outside the mountain as planned. He tried his best to ensure that Wang Ying entered the core dry camp and became another deputy general under Lin Chong. Shi Qian replaced him to cooperate with Shi Yong to open a store.
By the time the three giants had finished their discussion, Du Qian had already been waiting outside the door with a team of followers, preparing to simply decorate the Juyi Hall and then hold the wedding ceremony.
Seeing this, Song Jiang said goodbye to the two men and said, "My sister is getting married soon, and I want to go over and give her some instructions. Brother, military advisor, you guys go ahead and do your work."
"Brother, go ahead. I'm also going to find Xiao Rang to write a notice. I'll post it while the wedding is going on. The leaders will come to the wedding to have a good look at it, and then we can all do our jobs."
Wu Shou returned the gift with the altered list and was about to say goodbye to Chao Gai when Chao Gai held his sleeve and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'll go with the military advisor."
"It's not necessary for such a small matter, right?"
"I'm not here to see Xiao Rang, but to see Brother Yang Chang. Hu Sanniang is not a simple woman. I have to cheer up the groom. Remember, he lives in the same dormitory with Xiao Rang?"
"It seems so. Let's go."
How could the wise man not guess what Yang Chang’s intention was when Chao Gai saw it?
He was thinking about winning over Yang Chang, why did he deliberately suppress him when he went up the mountain? He embarrassed Brother Gongming today, and he must be feeling guilty now.
Although Wu Yong was often able to anticipate the enemy's actions, it was a pity that he had made a complete mistake today.
Yang Chang was in a God's perspective at this time, how could he feel a little guilty towards Song Jiang? It was good enough that he didn't plot against the black bird.
Later, when I arrived at Xiao Rang's residence, I learned that Du Qian had allocated a new house for Yang Chang, and Yang Chang had already moved in with his luggage.
Chao Gai said goodbye to Wu Yong and Xiao Rang and walked straight towards Yang Chang's new house.
Tao Zongwang had been in charge of the construction of houses in Liangshan since he came to the mountain. Because there were too many heroes joining him, the construction of Liangshan never stopped from winter to summer.
Yang Changxin's residence is located in the northeast of Juyi Hall, where a group of new houses were completed not long ago.
Originally, Du Qian had not planned a place for him, and only managed to arrange one this morning.
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu went up the mountain alone without their families, and voluntarily gave up a room to Yang Chang as their wedding room. Their next-door neighbor was the sick Wei Chi Sun Li. He and his companions and families brought from Dengzhou were all settled in this area, and they formed a force of their own on Liangshan.
When Chao Gai appeared outside the door, Sun Li and Sun Xin were talking to Yang Chang, while Gu Dasao was helping him dress enthusiastically.
“It’s so lively here.”
"King Chao?"
"Brother Tianwang."
"Brother Tianwang."
Chao Gai nodded with satisfaction. Among all the leaders who had come up the mountain recently, only the group from Dengzhou had the greatest power, and they did not come under the name of recruiting Song Jiang. He felt that he could win them over.
"Brother Yang is indeed a handsome man. Brother Song also wants to marry the girl from the Hu family to Wang Aihu. Or is it that Old Master Song has a good eye for a good son-in-law? Do you agree or not?"
"Well, brother is right."
Sun Li smiled awkwardly and clasped his fists.
He had just been resting in the house next door when he heard that the groom Yang Chang had moved in as his neighbor. Thinking that a man praised by both Song Jiang and Lin Chong was no ordinary man, he brought Sun Xin to visit and meet him, and Mrs. Gu also took the initiative to come and help.
When she heard Chao Gai publicly slandering Song Jiang, Gu Dasao realized that there was a rift between the two leaders, and hurriedly put down the things she was doing and pulled Sun Xin to pay her respects.
"Brother, are you here to congratulate Brother Yang? I have already dressed up the groom, so I won't disturb you guys. Uncle, shall we go back first?"
"Ah, yes, yes, brother, Brother Yang, we will take our leave first."
Sun Li understood and bowed to say goodbye to the two of them, then immediately left with Sun Xin and his wife.
Chao Gai smiled and said goodbye, then pretended to be very familiar with Yang Chang, and asked loudly: "Brother Yang, you and Sun Tixia seem to be very familiar with each other?" "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Chao Tianwang, I just met him when I moved here, and we didn't even talk before."
"I see. But you are quite popular."
"Your Majesty, thank you."
"Eh"
Seeing Yang Chang being so modest, Chao Gai suddenly frowned and pretended to blame him, "We are brothers after we got to Liangshan, why do you have to be so distant? You can call me brother or elder brother from now on. Are you resentful of me because I didn't reserve a seat for you before?"
“No, really.”
Yang Chang heard this and said, "Oh my goodness, can you not be so direct in your show of goodwill? You're making me feel very embarrassed, you know? Is there such a big difference between Muramasa and Yashi?"
"Haha, I'm just joking with you."
Chao Gai thought he had the art of language, but he didn't know it was awkward to pretend to be familiar with someone before they were familiar with each other. He smiled and started to shift the blame to others.
"If it weren't for the bailiff's words, I would have promoted you to the leader position long ago. But don't blame him for suppressing you. He is also worried that you have no prestige and it will be difficult to convince others. After today, everyone will look up to you. In addition, I have prepared a gift for you. You will know it when you arrive at the Juyi Hall."
"Oh thank God. Thank you brother."
As soon as Yang Chang heard it, he knew that Chao Gai was instigating the conflict. He thought to himself, "Brother, your methods are really not good enough. How can you say something like this yourself to instigate discord?"
He had no expectations for Chao Gai's gift, and there was nothing worth treasuring on Liangshan. In fact, the so-called gift was just a new appointment. The leader of a village has considerable say. Originally, he planned to win over Sun Li for this position, but it was temporarily given to Yang Chang and his wife.
It's a pity that Yang Chang doesn't care about the power of Liangshan. This is like an African chief showing off that he has more than enough food and can exchange food for slaves, women and anything else, but he doesn't know how insignificant and ignorant this kind of showing off is in more civilized and developed countries.
Chao Gai saw Yang Chang nodded with satisfaction, and pointed at his clothes and added: "There is not enough supplies on the mountain, so we can't prepare new clothes. I can only inconvenience you, brother. But the people of Jianghu don't care. It's enough to get the beauty back. What do you think?"
"Brother is right"
"By the way, I just heard you mention your uncle."
Yang Chang responded respectfully but not actively, so Chao Gai could only find topics to talk about on his own, from suggesting moving Yang De to Liangshan to making friends with Erlongshan through Wu Song, in short, just to get closer to them.
Song Jiang asked Hu Sanniang to do the work, and Chao Gai asked Yang Chang to do the work.
Male and female, no problem.
At the end of noon, everyone in Liangshan gathered together.
With Princess Dowager Song as the matchmaker and Chao Gai as the witness, Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang held a simple wedding and soon came to the eating and drinking part.
Duke Song, Yang Chang, Hu Sanniang and Chao Gai sat at the same table.
This was the first time that Song Jiang was "kicked out" of the main table since he went up the mountain, and Chao Gai felt so happy.
How could Song Jiang, with his shrewdness, show displeasure? He calmly led the others in toasting, while Yang Chang responded with one glass after another.
Wang Aihu, who was sitting in the corner, saw Yang Chang being treated like a star and Hu Sanniang beaming with joy. Although he had been persuaded by Song Jiang and had thought it through, he still felt upset and hated Yang Chang for stealing his beauty.
Just laugh, and let Hu Sanniang kill you.
Drink more now, until you can't have the wedding night, and make the young lady regret it.
Wang Ying pursed his lips and cursed secretly. Yang Chang accidentally saw the resentment in his eyes. At that time, Xiao Rang came forward to drink.
He deliberately raised his voice and joked, "You better come slower. I have to change a small bowl to hold the wine. If I drink two more jars, I will be drunk. How can I enter the bridal chamber later? A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Who will compensate me if I am delayed?"
"Uh, then I'm leaving?"
After hearing this, Xiao Rang stood there awkwardly.
Yang Chang saw Wang Ying's gnashing teeth face through the gap in the crowd as he wished. The scene was just like Cao Kefan eating nine-turn large intestine.
One word, absolutely!
