Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 341 Banquet
On that day, Zhao Zhen, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others accompanied the newly arrived Wang Jin and his two companions for a banquet. Zhao Zhen's wives and concubines Cheng Wan'er, Hu Sanniang and others, together with Lu Zhishen's family, Wang Jin, and Qiao Lie's mother, sat at a separate table and drank behind a screen.

The companions who went with him were rewarded. The heroes drank until late at night and then dispersed. The new heroes were settled in their own rooms.

The banquet at night was very enjoyable. When Qiao Lie met Gongsun Sheng, he felt that they had met too late. The two of them changed seats to sit next to each other and exchanged many ideas during the meal.

Qiao Lie said, "I have been good at using guns and clubs since I was a child. I once visited Kongtong Mountain and met a strange man who taught me magic. I also went to Erxian Mountain in Jiugong County to seek the Tao, but Luo Zhenren refused to meet me. He asked the Taoist boy to tell me: I am a foreigner and do not understand the profound. Wait until you meet a demon and then see me. I think I can call the wind and rain, ride the clouds, and travel freely. I didn't expect to meet my brother here."

Gongsun Sheng said: "I have also heard Master talking about my junior brother, but Master once said that the world has changed and what he said before is all lies. From now on, if you are willing, you can also follow me to learn the law."

Qiao Lie was delighted to hear this. "Most of my techniques are illusions. Since you have not given up on me, I would like to take you as my teacher and learn the true method."

Not to mention the two of them discussing Taoism, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wu Yong saw that Yang Zhi didn't say anything, just drank, and his face looked sad, so he asked: "Yang Zhishi, why are you so sad?"

Yang Zhi sighed and said, "I am not bragging. I have practiced martial arts since I was young. I learned a lot of martial arts, passed the military examination, and became a palace official. I didn't expect that I was unlucky. Ten ordinary officials were escorting the flower and stone tribute, but my boat capsized. Later, I was exiled to Daming Prefecture and was noticed by Liang Zhongshu and became a deputy commander. Unexpectedly, the birthday tribute I was escorting was robbed again. Looking at the blue mark on my face, you can tell that I am unlucky."

After hearing this, everyone came to comfort him. Wu Yong said, "Since the envoy has come to Liangshan County, I dare not say anything else. Isn't it easy to be a cavalry envoy?"

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "I am afraid that the envoy will despise the low position."

After hearing this, Yang Zhi said quickly, "I am just a soldier. Now that the birthday gift has been lost, the soldiers who accompanied me have pushed the blame on me in order to avoid being punished. I am afraid that Liang Zhongshu must hate me. I am lucky to be able to stay here with the great official. I heard from my brothers Yang and Lin that the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards, [Leopard Head] Lin Chong, also serves under the great official. Now that I have not done anything, I can be appointed as the commander of the cavalry. In the future, I will definitely repay the great official's kindness with my life."

Zhao Zhen heard what Yang Zhi said and said, "Don't worry, brother. Since you are in Liangshan County, please lead the cavalry. However, Liangshan County is short of usable war horses. Please use the riding horses to train the soldiers first. The military advisor and I have already decided that you should go to the north to buy horses in the near future."

Yang Zhi stood up and thanked Zhao Zhen: "I will follow your orders. I am very satisfied to be able to lead an army."

Shi Jin then stood up and said, "Sir, my master is much better than me in martial arts. I am willing to give way to you and ask you to be the commander of the cavalry, and I will assist you." Wang Jin immediately stood up and said, "Brother, how can this be done? Sir, what Shi Jin said today is nonsense and cannot be taken seriously."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "I have also seen Brother Shi Jin's martial arts. Coach Wang can train Brother Shi Jin to have such high martial arts, so he must be good. As both are coaches of the 800,000 imperial guards, Coach Wang should be appointed as the cavalry commander, but he should also train the soldiers again. Then, from Brother Shi Jin's command, transfer Brother Chen Da, the [Jumping Tiger], to assist Coach Wang. Both of them use long spears, so they can train a group of lance cavalry."

After hearing this, Shi Jin was delighted and said, "Brother Chen Da is able to follow Master, so we can ask Master for some guidance."

Wang Jin also hurried to express his gratitude.

Sun An said, "Sir, since both Yang Zhishi and Wang Jiaotou have been given positions, why not also place the Qiao Lie brothers?"

Qiao Lie listened and waved his hands repeatedly: "Sir, Brother Gongsun Sheng and I hit it off right away. This time, he has solved many of my problems in practicing Taoism. I want to practice Taoism with Brother Gongsun Sheng for a while."

Gongsun Sheng said, "Brother, there is no need to do this. My master asked me to go to the city to practice, and I also want to find a job here."

Qiao Lie said: "Please arrange for me to be Brother Gongsun Sheng's deputy, so that I can ask for advice from time to time."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "That's the best way. A few days ago, Taoist Dong wanted to resign from the position of Taoist Association Director and give it to Brother Gongsun Sheng. But Brother Gongsun Sheng has not yet decided to stay. Today, I invite Brother Gongsun Sheng to be the Taoist Association Director of Liangshan County, and Brother Qiao Lie to assist him. Now that the county has many affairs, I would like to invite you two brothers to assist in county affairs. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Lie hurriedly stood up and thanked Zhao Zhen.

The newcomers were all given their posts, and they were all happy. Naturally, the banquet became more lively with the clinking of glasses. Yang Zhi saw that Zhao Zhen was just as the rumors said, that he valued loyalty and did not take his criminal status lightly. He was also very happy, put aside his worries, and drank happily.
