Xu Fengwu and his group left the small shop. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, they did not go to Yanshan County.
Liu Tang was very familiar with this generation, so he brought them to a small town called Rao An Town.
Everyone found a doctor in town to bandage Liu Tang's wound. Then, they found a hotel to stay in.
After everyone sat down, Xu Fengwu said before the dishes were served,"Who are those thieves? They seemed to call themselves the heroes of Salt Mountain?”
Yang Lin said," Brother, you might not know this. This is a group of strong people on a mountain outside Yanshan City. They are led by four demon kings. The eldest is called Quan Mao Hou Shi Wei, the second is called Poison Fire Dragon Yang Lie, the third is called Life Interception General Deng Tianbao, and the fourth is called Iron Spear King Dashou. The one you just killed should be Wang Dashou."”
This surprised Xu Fengwu. He didn't expect Hebei to have a mountain and a group of strong people.
Liu Tang said with disdain,"What kind of heroes are these thieves? For example, the leader Shi Wei was originally a private businessman. In the end, this fellow was a beast. He raped his sister-in-law after drinking and was caught by his brother on the spot. He simply killed his brother and sister-in-law and ran to the outskirts of Salt Mountain to fall into the weeds.”
Xu Fengwu frowned when he heard that. This person who humiliated his sister-in-law and killed his brother was really inhuman.
Ruan Xiaoqi slammed the table and scolded," I thought they were a bunch of good men. I didn't expect them to be so beastly. Fortunately, that Shi Wei wasn't here just now. Otherwise, Grandpa would have cut off his bird head."”
Wu Song also cursed,"What's the point of keeping such a beast if we don't kill him?"”
The others also began to curse. Since ancient times, killing one's father and brother had been a heinous crime. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had also left a stain on his reputation because of this.
"If it was near Jeju, I could lead my brothers to exterminate this group of unjust thieves, but Cangzhou is too far away." Xu Fengwu said.”
"What brother said makes sense."
Everyone nodded their heads. However, they had killed 40 to 50 people today and even killed one of the leaders. It could be considered as venting their anger.
After a while, good wine and meat were served on the table. Xu Fengwu toasted everyone.
Then, Xu Fengwu said to Liu Tang,""Brother Liu Tang, what are your plans for the future?”
"What plans can I have?" Liu Tang asked directly. I've been a private businessman for several years and haven't saved up much money. If you don't mind, I'm willing to follow you to Liangshan Lake.”
I like this kind of straightforward person!
"I was just about to ask, but I was afraid that Brother Liu Tang wouldn't be willing." Xu Fengwu was overjoyed.”
"What are you talking about, brother?" Liu Tang asked. Actually, I've long wanted to seek refuge in Liangshan, but I'm low and have no one to recommend me, so I've never dared to go.”
Liu Tang had been a private merchant for many years. Because Shandong and Hebei were close to the sea, his main business was selling illegal salt.
However, salt was monopolized by the government. It was illegal to buy and sell illegal salt. Liu Tang often hid from place to place. If he happened to encounter the government, then a cart of illegal salt would be wasted.
Therefore, when Liu Tang learned of Xu Fengwu's identity, he had already thought of going to Mount Liangshan.
"No matter who you are, as long as you are not a person like Shi Wei, we will open our doors to you." Xu Fengwu shook his head and said.”
Xu Fengwu immediately raised his glass and drank with everyone.
Xu Fengwu then looked at Yan Shude and asked,"Brother Yan, what are your plans for the future?”
Yan Shude said," I won't hide it from you. If I really don't have a place to go, I'll definitely follow you to Liangshan. However, I still have a cousin now. I'm planning to go to him."”
"Who is your cousin?" Xu Fengwu asked.”
Yan Shude said,"My cousin is none other than the commander of the Qingzhou army, Qin Ming."”
Everyone looked surprised. Liu Tang asked,"Could it be Qin Ming, who is known as Thunderflame?”
Yan Shude nodded and said,"Yes."”
Liu Tang slapped his thigh and said,"Brother Yan, you have such a high-ranking relative. Why didn't you go to him earlier? Otherwise, why would you be in such a sorry state?"”
"I was passable in my early years, so I didn't want to trouble my cousin."”
Everyone shook their heads in confusion.
Xu Fengwu smiled and said," I've heard of Thunderfire Qin Ming's name. Brother Yan, you have good martial arts and a relative like him to help you. You don't have to worry about not being able to make a name for yourself in the future."”
"Then I'll take your good words." Yan Shude cupped his fists and said.”
Xu Fengwu didn't talk about this matter and only talked about some new things in Jianghu. After eating this meal of wine and meat, he considered that Liu Tang had suffered, so he suggested to rest in Rao An Town for a night.
Everyone naturally had no objections and immediately found an inn in town to stay in.
Xu Fengwu saw that Yan Shude's clothes were tattered, so he instructed Chen Sheng to find the tailor in town and make a few sets of clothes as soon as possible.
Chen Sheng gladly accepted the order and took the silver.
Xu Fengwu sighed for a while and could not help but find it funny. His current actions were really a little like the Duke of Zhou spitting out food.
Previously, he had been a little disapproving of Song Jiang's actions. However, after he became the Fort Master, his desire for talent had been infinitely magnified. He wanted to rope in anyone with a name.
However, Xu Fengwu also enjoyed the feeling of being greeted by a man of the pugilistic world.
No wonder Chai Jin was addicted to this path and even enjoyed it, making others treat him as a rich man.
In the evening, the clothes that Xu Fengwu wanted were ready. He immediately took a set of clothes to Yan Shude's room and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Yan Shude saw Xu Fengwu and couldn't help but say,""Why are you looking for me?"
Xu Fengwu smiled and said," First, I'm here to call you for dinner. Second, I asked someone to make a set of clothes for you. I specially sent it over to see if it fits you."”
Yan Shude looked at the clothes in Xu Fengwu's hands and could not help but say gratefully,"Big brother treats me so well, what should I do?”
"It's just a piece of clothing. Try it on. If it doesn't fit, I'll get someone to alter it.”Xu Fengwu said as he stuffed the clothes into Yan Shude's hands.
" Then…thank you, big brother." Yan Shude took the clothes and nodded.
Xu Fengwu did not say anything else and left.
Right now, he would subdue those that he could subdue, and he would buy the hearts of those that he could not, such as Wu Song and Yan Shude.
Anyway, Yan Shude was going to seek refuge with Qin Ming. Qin Ming would also go to Liangshan in the future. At that time, could Yan Shude still run away?
Xu Fengwu scoffed at Song Jiang's methods of subduing people in the original novel.
The most typical example was Qin Ming. Song Jiang had people pretend to be Qin Ming, burn, kill, and plunder, causing Qin Ming's entire family to die. He actually dared to take him in as his underling?
If it was Xu Fengwu himself, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well!
Xu Fengwu would rather not have any. Even if he was short on manpower, he still wanted everyone to work together.
Otherwise, if they had planted a hidden danger before they went up the mountain, when the number of people in the village increased, this hidden danger would one day erupt.
At that time, the entire village would fall apart!
"Wait a minute, there seems to be a problem…"
Just as Xu Fengwu was feeling smug, he suddenly realized that the reason Qin Ming went to Liangshan was because Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi, then ran to Clear Wind Camp, and then went to Clear Wind Mountain with Hua Rong.
Therefore, Song Jiang was very important, and the premise of this was that Chao Gai and the others had stolen the birthday scroll.
But what if Chao Gai and the others didn't rob the birthday scroll?
Now that Chao Gai and Liangshan were working together to sell refined salt, the profits were very considerable.
Chao Gai's family had also been confiscated. Perhaps it was because of this that he had tried to protect his family's reputation, so the original novel had stolen the birthday scroll to vent his anger.
But if the salt trade compensated for Kuo Tian's losses, would Chao Gai still rob the birthday scroll?
Xu Fengwu felt a headache coming on. The butterfly flapping its wings had caused too much change. He could not guarantee that things would not continue to develop like in the original novel.
"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time." Xu Fengwu rubbed his forehead and thought with a bitter smile.
