Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 339 Harvest
After listening to Zhu Da's report, Yang Lin happily said to everyone, "I thought Yun Tianbiao was stationed here, but I didn't expect that it was under the command of the great official. Today, we will rest here for one night and set out early tomorrow morning. We will arrive at 3 p.m."

When everyone heard this, they were all happy. It had been nearly four months since they had walked from west to east, and they were all very tired.

Everyone tapped the horses' bellies unconsciously, speeding up their pace.

As they were walking, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front. Everyone drew their weapons and stood on guard. Yang Lin saw from afar that it was Fu Yu and his group who were coming.

Yang Lin smiled and said to everyone: "We are all family."

Qiao Lie also smiled and said, "Isn't it Brother Sun An who is here?"

Everyone dismounted and walked along the roadside.

When they heard that besides Lu Zhishen's family, Wang Jin's mother and son, Qiao Lie's mother and son, there was also the [Green-faced Beast] Yang Zhi, everyone's faces looked a little strange.

Just two days ago, Wu Yong and his companions passed by this place. Although they did not say much, when everyone saw the boxes and cages carried on the horses, they knew that Wu Yong had gained a lot on this trip.

Hua Rong said, "This is not a place to talk. All of you brothers should go to the military camp and stay overnight. Tomorrow I will send someone to take you to Liangshan County to pay a visit to the great official." After saying that, he asked everyone to mount their horses and headed straight for the military camp.

After returning to the military camp, everyone gathered together and went to a house at the back. Wine and food had already been set up in the hall. Several servants asked everyone to go to the side room to bathe and change clothes. During this time, Hua Rong wrote a pigeon letter and released the pigeon.

At night, Hua Rong and his gang entertained Yang Lin, Li San, Wang Jin, Qiao Lie and Yang Zhi. Lu Zhishen's family and Wang Jin and Qiao Lie's mother sat at another table, accompanied by Hu Sanniang and Hua Baoyan.

Seeing that Yang Lin and his group looked tired, Hua Rong ended the banquet in less than half an hour and asked everyone to rest early to avoid delaying tomorrow's journey.

Qiao Lie and Sun An hadn't seen each other for a long time. Sun An invited Qiao Lie to his place for a drink, and Qiao Lie happily went.

When they arrived at Sun An's residence, Sun An had already asked someone to prepare a table of wine and food. The two of them sat down, and Qiao Lie asked, "Brother, you have praised the merits of the great official in your letter. Now that I have brought my mother here, I wonder if you have anything to say to me."

Sun An said: "Brother, this great official is just as I said, generous and willing to help. He will accept anyone who comes to him, no matter how high or low his status is. Now the county has recruited many heroes, with strong soldiers and horses. There are few rivals in the surrounding prefectures, and now it is still expanding everywhere."

Qiao Lie said, "Brother Sun An, I heard from Brother Yang Lin on the way that the great official has no intention of opposing the imperial court, and only wants to be a local emperor?"

Sun An smiled and said, "That's both right and wrong."

"Oh? Brother, tell me in detail."

"The official really doesn't want to rebel. After all, he is now the magistrate of Jimi County. As long as he doesn't rebel, no one will come to control him. From this point of view, the official really has no intention of rebelling."

After urging each other to drink a glass of wine, Sun An continued, "But the great master is not a quiet person. Many heroes who have committed crimes in the martial arts world come to seek refuge with him, and the great master often takes them in and entrusts them with positions. Have you heard about the Shengchen Gang brothers?"

"Of course I've heard of it. It was widely circulated two years ago. Isn't the Yang Zhi brother I met today the one who escorted the birthday gift this year? Hiss..., could it be..."

Sun An shook his head, "That's not what I think. The people who robbed Brother Yang Zhi's birthday gift were not here. Recently, Qingzhou has been plagued by bandits. There is a Song Jiang in the neighboring county who has united the Qingzhou bandits, broken into villages and fought against the government troops. The birthday gift was robbed by this group of people. The master also sent people to go, but he was concerned about Brother Yang Zhi, a descendant of a loyal and honest man, and didn't want to ruin his livelihood."

"But he is known as the timely rain in the martial arts world?"

"Yes, it's this person." Sun An replied.

"What a pity, these two hundred thousand strings of gold and pearls. Hey, now that Song Jiang has got so much money, won't he make it even bigger?" Qiao Lie laughed.

Sun An also laughed: "This is a headache for the Qingzhou prefect, it has nothing to do with us. Not everyone dares to accept this amount of gold and pearls. Besides, this ill-gotten wealth is not all for him to take." As he said this, Sun An urged him to drink another glass of wine. Seeing that Sun An had no intention of continuing, Qiao Lie hurriedly asked: "What's next?"

Sun An said, "Two days ago, I saw the military advisor and his group bringing back a lot of valuables, which should also be part of the birthday gift. I don't know how much or how they got it. It's difficult for me to inquire about this. I guess there are not many people in the county who know about it."

Qiao Lie nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and said, "That's not bad. Rebellion is not a good business after all."

As he spoke, Qiao Lie talked about his experiences during this period of time: "After I killed the storekeeper by myself, I fled to Weisheng with my mother. I disguised myself as a Quanzhen and took a Buddhist name, Daoqing. Now Tian Hu is in rebellion, and knowing that I have Taoist skills, he invited me to join him and help him seize counties. I was hesitant because I was concerned about my mother, and your letter came at the right time. If I hadn't received the letter, I would have joined the gang." As he spoke, he sighed.

The two of them talked until three o'clock in the morning, and because they were thinking of setting off early the next day, they just fell asleep.

As for Zhao Zhen, he had just finished counting the wealth and goods that had been brought back and put them into the warehouse. Zhao Zhen held a banquet to entertain Wu Yong and his eleven companions.

I don’t know if Lai Yong’er had picked them out, but there was not a single gold or silver ingot among these treasures. The most common things were gold and silver utensils.

Twelve golden pots: two golden cloud crane gourd pots, two golden fortune and longevity octagonal pots with two golden bowls, two golden longevity star plain pots with two golden bowls, two golden "Fu" pots, two golden "Hundred Fortunes" pots, and two golden longevity star gourd pots.

Four sets of gold cups: six gold peach cups with the figure of the God of Longevity, six gold high-foot cups with the figure of the God of Longevity, six round wine cups with double handles with the word "longevity" in gold, and one large five-cent gold cup with the image of the Queen Mother's peach.

There are also the Golden Eight Immortals Birthday Wine Plate, the Golden Eight Immortals Birthday Flower Plate, the Golden Birthday Peach Plate, the Golden Persimmon Plate, the Golden Plum Blossom Plate, the Golden Pine, Bamboo and Plum Plate and so on.

Silver utensils are even more available than gold utensils, such as the silver kingfisher-inlaid longevity tortoise and crane pot, the silver kingfisher-inlaid elephant pot, the silver lion elephant pot, the silver treasure elephant pot, the silver rabbit pot, the silver flower-presenting beauty pot, the silver child-playing beauty pot, the silver chess pot, the silver flower chopstick vase, the silver tent hook, the silver paperweight, the black silver gourd box, the silver tortoise and crane, the silver tray, the silver teaspoon, the silver ladle...
There were cups and chopsticks made of ivory and rhinoceros horn, brocades of various colors, round fans, classics, history, collections of essays, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, inscriptions on stone tablets, and antiques, all of which were so dazzling that they really broadened Zhao Zhen and others' horizons.

With only half of this ill-gotten wealth, Zhao Zhen's family no longer lacked utensils that showed off their wealth and status. These were not a big deal. With the money Zhao Zhen had, he could slowly buy everything with some time. What attracted Zhao Zhen the most were the three high-end utensils inside.

South Red Agate Longevity Peach (Second level, South Red Agate, carved by a master craftsman)
Effect 1: Longevity, play with it anytime, no illness.

Dragon Blood Ganoderma (Level 6, shaped like auspicious clouds, red like blood, with three leaves.)
Effect 1: Prolong life. Eating one leaf can extend life by a decade. Eating three leaves can extend life by sixty years.

Effect 2: Break through to a higher level by eating it.

Of these three items, the most valuable is the Dragon Blood Ganoderma. In the entire Liangshan County, the highest-level people like Lu Zhishen are only at level 5, grade 9.

This is probably the upper limit of this world. In the entire world, there are people at level six, but if there are, they are extremely rare.

The people who contributed the most to the acquisition of this treasure were eleven heroes: Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong, Luan Tingfang, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye, Wang Tianba, Mie Gong, Shi Qian, and Duan Jingzhu. Zhao Zhen took out half of the money to reward them. After some refusals, each of them accepted two thousand strings of cash.
