The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 413
It took seven or eight days on the road, and several people arrived in the territory of Dengzhou Prefecture, instead of entering the city, they went to the salt field by the sea.

After two years of development, it has now become a large manor from the outside, with a thousand sailors from Liangshan stationed in it, and they usually pretend to be Zhuang Ding.

Accompanied by Ruan Xiaowu, Mu Xu first inspected the entire salt field, and then went straight to a small dock next to the salt field.

Seeing more than ten lucky boats built in front of him, Mu Xu asked Ruan Xiaowu, "Have these boats ever been tested at sea?"

Ruan Xiaowu replied, "Every time a ship is built, my younger brother will personally lead the sailors to drive the ship and sail for half a day to ensure that the ship is ok."

Mu Xu asked again, "Have you ever gone to the pier to find out if there are any merchants who have been to Liuqiu (Taiwan)?"

Ruan Xiaowu wondered, "Brother, forgive me, but it's just that I don't want to do my best. In fact, the maritime merchants in Dengzhou are all traveling between Japan and Korea, and there are very few people going south."

Mu Xu thought about it, and said disappointedly, "Forget it, I'm just a dead horse as a living horse doctor. When I return to the cottage, I will send someone to Quanzhou to find out the situation of Liuqiu."

Ruan Xiaoqi was puzzled, "Little brother heard that Liuqiu is very remote and full of miasma, why does brother care so much about it?"

Mu Xu explained with a smile, "It's not a remote place, the island is actually very rich in products. Of course, this is not the reason why I value it, it's because of..."

After hesitating for a while, Mu Xu looked around and saw that they were all his confidantes, so he said in a low voice, "I am here to send a surprise army to outflank the Jiangnan Fifth Road in the future when I will compete with the Song Dynasty."

After hearing this, several people couldn't help showing shocking expressions. After all, they are still just nesting in Liangshan Po. Who would have thought that Mu Xu was already thinking about how to overthrow the Song Dynasty court, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Mu Xu didn't care about this, and continued, "Brother Li, I will entrust you with the management of the business in the future. From now on, you will stay here and train the sailors for me. Make sure they are familiar with the wind and waves at sea. , so as not to hold Buddha's feet temporarily."

Li Jun was startled when he heard the words, and then he realized why Mu Xu made a special trip to take him with him this time, he couldn't bear to think about it, and hurriedly clasped his fists in response, "Little brother obeys orders, and I will definitely live up to my brother's trust."

Mu Xu patted Li Jun on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Brother, I can rest assured when you do things. Don't be pressured. After I go back, I will send Tong's brothers to help you, and I will send you four thousand water." military."

Speaking of this, he hurriedly asked Ruan Xiaowu, "How is the management of Dengzhou's government, will there be any problems?"

Ruan Xiaowu said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry, the Governor of Dengzhou loves money very much. In the past two years, he has collected [-] yuan from us. Forgive him for not making trouble."

Mu Xu thought for a while, but still worried, "Be careful, there is no big mistake. If you give that guy some money, it's best to get hold of him, and let him try to turn a blind eye to our affairs and close his eyes." one eye."

"Then I'll do it tomorrow."

"Forget it, just follow me back to the mountain, I will entrust this matter to King Chao Tian."

In the next three days, after Ruan Xiaowu and Chao Gai handed over everything, Mu Xu said goodbye to Chao Gai and Li Jun, and returned to Liangshan the same way.

On the road for a few days, a few people passed by the border of Tai'an Mansion on this day, when they were resting in a restaurant outside the city, they suddenly heard two guests at the table talking about the excitement of Tianqi Shengdi's birthday on March [-]th.

At the beginning, a few people still listened with gusto, but whoever wanted to listen, Ruan Xiaoqi and the others showed discontented expressions on their faces.

Why do you think?It turned out that the two guests suddenly mentioned that there was a good wrestler from Taiyuan Prefecture, whose surname was Ren Mingyuan, who was one zhang tall, and who called himself Optimus Prime. There is no opponent in the world, and I will be the leader in the world." I heard that he had fought in the temple for two years, but he had never had an opponent, and he took some prizes for nothing.This year, I posted another trick, single-handed sumo wrestling.

Originally, a few people only listened to it as a surprise, but they didn't take it to heart, but the bad thing is that Ren Yuan actually called himself Optimus Prime.

You know, ever since Chai Jin gave Mu Xu this nickname, no one in the Jianghu knew that Optimus Prime was referring to Mu Xu.I don't want Ren Yuan to be so bold as to come to Shandong to put up a challenge. In the eyes of Ruan Xiaoqi and the others, this kind of behavior is clearly a deliberate provocation. How can one bear it!
At that moment, the three of them were filled with righteous indignation and begged Mu Xu to teach that Ren Yuan a lesson.Yan Qing took the initiative to ask Ying Ying to say,

"Xiaoyi has learned sumo wrestling from Yuanwai Lu since he was a child. He has never met an opponent in the world. Tomorrow will happen to be March [-]th. Xiaoyi will go to the stage to challenge him. At least he will give him a fall. If he loses, Die without complaint. If you win, you will add some glory to your brother and teach that guy a lesson."

At this moment, Mu Xu remembered that this was the section of Yanqing's beating in the original text, but he never thought that even with his butterfly wings, he would still encounter this matter.

To be honest, Mu Xu doesn't really like the nickname of Optimus Prime, but he also understands that sometimes fame is more important than life when walking in the rivers and lakes.

Take today's incident as an example, even if it is said to be a disaster, it is its own fault, even if it is the Optimus Prime he called first, so what?

If you are not as famous as Mu Xu, you should get rid of this nickname yourself, so as not to offend Mu Xu's taboo.But this Ren Yuan not only didn't deal with it like this, but he had to come to Liangshanbo to stage a challenge. What's the difference between pointing at Mu Xu's nose and screaming?
"Forget it, since this guy doesn't know what's good or bad, then brother will give him a hard time, and my brother will personally fight for you."

Several people discussed it properly, and found an inn in the city to rest that night.The next day, the four of them got up at five o'clock, lit the fire and had breakfast, and headed for the Shengdi Temple at the time of applying for the plaque.

When I got there, I separated the crowd and went in, looked inside, but saw two red pillars under the stage, which were similar to the plaques in the lanes.There is a flour board on it, which reads, "Taiyuan Sumo Optimus Prime Ren Yuan", and there are two lines of small words next to it, "Punch the fierce tiger in Nanshan, kick the black dragon in Beihai."

On the arena, dozens of big men stood on both sides of the stage holding whistle sticks, four embroidered flags were lined up in front, and the old god Ren Yuan was sitting on the stage.

Seeing this scene, Yan Qing secretly thought, "This man has a big tone, let me show him!" Immediately, he asked Mu Xu for instructions, and after getting permission, he kicked the plaque to pieces.

Seeing someone challenge the challenge, it attracted applause from the good-for-nothing, so Ren Yuanteng stood up immediately, walked to the stage, and asked, "Which one is not afraid of death to challenge grandpa? Hurry up and report your name, and then come to the stage again!" Quickly lead to death!"

Yan Qing was furious when she heard the words, and replied loudly, "It's your young master!" Then she jumped onto the stage.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the order maintainer at the scene hurriedly stopped them and said to Ren Yuan, "Teacher Ren, don't worry, there is Master Zhizhou watching from the platform at the gate of the palace today. Don't lose your courtesy, and let this The good guys report their wrists, and it will not be too late to fight."

Hearing this, Yan Qing hurriedly looked towards the temple gate not far away, and saw a platform set up there, on which sat a senior official, surrounded by a group of public officials in soap clothes, and seventy or eighty government servants.

In this way, Yan Qing was a little embarrassed. He had made up his mind to report the name of Yan Qing in Liangshan to win glory for Mu Xu, but now he had to make up the name of Zhang San, saying that he was from Qingzhou. shopkeeper.

I didn't think too much about the plan, just asked the two to sign the life and death documents, and announced the winner's prize, then stepped aside and ordered to start.

Immediately, the two of them set up their postures on the ring stage, and the applause of the audience was louder and louder.

However, Ren Yuan stared at Yan Qing without blinking, but Yan Qing squatted motionless on the right side of the ring, deliberately staring at Ren Yuan's lower body, making him think that he was going to attack his lower body.

That Ren Yuan was really fooled, and quickly approached Yan Qing, deliberately swayed his body, then raised his right leg, intending to kick Yan Qing off the stage.

It's too late, but it's fast.Yan Qing suddenly jumped, and slipped under Ren Yuan's left flank.When Ren Yuan turned around, Yan Qing pretended to jump away, but then slipped under his right side again.

Ren was originally tall, and his movements were not as flexible as Yan Qing's, so when he came and went like this, his steps got messed up.

Yan Qing took the opportunity to step forward, hugged Ren Yuan's waist with his right hand, inserted his left hand into his crotch, and pressed his shoulder against his chest. With all his strength, he lifted Ren Yuan's entire body, and carried him around on the ring for four times. five laps.

After turning to the side of the stage, Yan Qing yelled, "Get down!" amidst the applause that shook the sky, and threw Ren Yuan head down. It was Yan Qing's trick.
