A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The old man was very angry, but he was not very good.

Not to mention his character, Dong Ping was still good enough in terms of military strength. Therefore, Lu Cheng sent him to the command of Zhong Shidao of the Western Army. If this guy didn't make any mistakes, he should be able to stand out in the Western Army, and then he could also bring some of the people Lu Cheng had placed there.

If Dong Ping made a mistake in the Western Army, Zhong Shidao's rigorous military style would naturally deal with it.

Then, Lu Cheng met Hua Rong again.

"Hua Rong, I heard that you have a close relationship with Song Gongming, the timely rain of Yuncheng County. Can you tell me about it?"

"This... I have known Brother Gongming for many years. Back then, I was only fourteen or fifteen years old when I met Brother Gongming. At that time, my family was poor, my mother died early, and my father was bedridden. Thanks to Brother Gongming's help, I was able to survive that period.

Later, my father passed away, and I depended on my sister for life. Fortunately, I learned a lot from a master and became a village chief in Qingfeng Village, so I could settle down. Now, Brother Gongming and I haven't seen each other for several years..."

"So that's the case. Your friendship is rare. I have met Song Gongming several times, and I admire him very much. It's a pity that Song Gongming was unlucky and saved a vicious woman, so he got into a murder lawsuit."

If you say who is the most loyal to Song Jiang on Liangshan, it must be Hua Rong.

Even Li Kui, who followed Song Jiang every day, had doubted Song Jiang and even had some small quarrels with him.

Only Hua Rong, after hearing that Song Jiang was in trouble, wrote more than a dozen letters to Song Jiang, inviting him to take refuge in Qingfeng Village. However, Song Jiang had been hiding in Chai Jin's mansion and had not yet gone to Qingfeng Village.

Later, Hua Rong fell out with the government because of Song Jiang, and followed Song Jiang to Liangshan. With his superb archery skills, he made great military achievements for Liangshan.

Later, Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt, led his troops to attack Qingfeng Mountain. Song Jiang and others designed to capture Qin Ming, got him drunk, and sent people to pretend to be Qin Ming to burn, kill and loot, so that the Qingzhou prefect thought that Qin Ming had surrendered to the bandits, and killed Qin Ming's family in anger.

Qin Ming had no way to retreat, and returned to Qingfeng Mountain, only to find out that all this was done by Song Jiang and others. In order to appease and win over Qin Ming, Song Jiang and others put all the blame on the Qingzhou prefect, and Song Jiang even decided to marry Hua Rong's sister to Qin Ming.

Hua Rong had no complaints about this, and did not even express any opinions.

In the end, when Song Jiang was sentenced to death by a cup of poisoned wine by the court, it was Hua Rong and Wu Yong who hanged themselves in front of Song Jiang's grave.

From beginning to end, Hua Rong followed Song Jiang all the way to the end, and was always loyal.

It must be said that Song Jiang's ability to control people's hearts is indeed very clever.

Hearing Lu Cheng speak for Song Jiang, Hua Rong's favor for him doubled, and he immediately said: "Yuanwailang, you are a senior official in the court, and you are deeply trusted by the emperor. Can you say a few good words for Brother Gongming?"

Lu Cheng laughed: "In fact, the things that happened to Song Gongming are big and small. It's just that he fled for fear of crime, which caused trouble. Now, he is in the mansion of Mr. Chai Jin, which is the safest. When the emperor will pardon the world in the future, Song Jiang's trouble will not be a big deal.

Besides, Song Gongming has a wide range of friends, so you don't need to worry too much. But you yourself, are you willing to work for me?"

"Thank you for your appreciation, I am willing to follow your arrangements."

Although Hua Rong is the chief of Qingfeng Village, he is a military chief. There is also a civil chief in Qingfeng Village. Hua Rong is equivalent to the second in command of the township and the captain of the militia. Wen Zhizhai has always been at odds with Hua Rong and has always made things difficult for him. Hua Rong has long wanted to find another way out.

"I can give you two choices. First, you can stay in Jizhou Prefecture. I will let you get a position as a militia commander here, and you can command 500 soldiers. Wu Song, the deputy envoy of the militia commander here, is my man. You don't have to suffer any grievances when you work under him.

Second, you can come to my Lujiazhuang to be a guard leader. Although there is no official position, I can give you better treatment. I can give you money and arrange a yard for you and your brother. I can also teach you martial arts. If there is a chance in the future, I will arrange a suitable official position for you."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Yuanwailang. I am willing to be a guard of Lujiazhuang."

Lu Cheng nodded: "That's good. You can go back and make arrangements and move to Lujiazhuang as soon as possible."

After that, Lu Cheng asked someone to take out 100 taels of silver and handed it to Hua Rong: "These are for your resettlement expenses."

"This... Thank you, Mr. Manor."

Hua

After all, Rong has a friendship with Song Jiang. If you want to win him over to your side, you need to keep him by your side and brainwash him again.

After arranging Hua Rong, Lu Cheng asked someone to call Yuan Lang over and said, "Yuan Lang, you are not bad, and you are not inferior to Dong Ping. Why do you want to hold back your strength today?"

Yuan Lang touched the back of his head and smiled, "I mainly want to fight with you, the ranking is not important. Moreover, I don't want to be an official and be restricted for nothing."

Lu Cheng nodded, "Since you don't want to be an official, I have a good place here, but I don't know if you are willing to go."

"Where are you talking about?"

"I won't tell you this for the time being. Come back to Yuncheng with me and listen to the arrangements."

"Yes, I obey your orders."

Lu Cheng waved his hand, and the servants prepared a hundred taels of silver for Yuan Lang as a reward.

Then it was Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang.

At present, Lü Fang's ability is still mediocre, much worse than Dong Ping, Hua Rong, Yuan Lang, and Pang Wanchun, and they are not in the same class at all.

But Lü Fang is a growing general, and his performance in the early stage was very poor. In the later period, when he was fighting Fang La, Lü Fang was able to fight Fang La's Nanli General Shi Bao for 50 rounds.

You know, even the vanguard Suo Chao and others were killed by Shi Bao. Guan Sheng, the big knife, could only fight Shi Bao to a draw.

From this, we can see how powerful Lü Fang was in the later period, and he was definitely not inferior to the Liangshan Five Tigers.

"Lü Fang, I heard that you lost money in business and were embarrassed to go home, so you almost became a bandit. Is this true?"

"This... I dare not deceive Yuanwailang, this is all true. I... I also care about my reputation."

"How can a man be discouraged by a temporary setback? It's just a temporary failure, it's nothing. Let me send a pigeon letter to let the people from Yongchang Escort Agency send 100 taels of silver to your home to reassure your parents. As for you, go to my Lujiazhuang first. You still need to hone your martial arts, and I will arrange for you when the time comes."

Lü Fang was immediately grateful when he heard this: "The owner of the manor has been very kind to me. I am grateful and will repay you with my life."

"Okay, you'd better stay alive so that you can do more things."

After sending Lü Fang away, Lu Cheng finally asked people to bring Pang Wanchun and "Pang Wanqiu" up.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be brother and sister, right?"

Pang Wanchun bowed and said, "You are right, sir. This is my sister, Pang Qiuxia. This time, she is here with me to see the world."

Lu Cheng smiled and nodded, "Pang Wanchun, with your ability, if you go to the army as a general, you can also make a name for yourself. Why are you still a commoner now?"

"This... I have tried the army before, but I just don't want to endure the intrigues in the army."

Pang Wanchun and his sister are from Jiangnan. The Jiangnan region suffered from the poison of the Flower and Stone Gang. Officials made up excuses to exploit the people, and the people's lives were miserable. This also provided conditions for the later Fang La uprising.

Therefore, Pang Wanchun didn't actually want to serve in the army. He came to participate in the competition this time, on the one hand to make a name for himself, and on the other hand for rewards.

"You should have heard of Yongchang Escort Agency, right? Would you like to come to my Yongchang Escort Agency and be a escort leader? The salary is generous..."

"This..." Pang Wanchun looked at his sister and saw that his sister was secretly looking at Lu Cheng. He hurriedly asked in a low voice, and Pang Qiuxia nodded slightly.

"I am willing."

"Have you heard of Fang La in Jiangnan?"

"I have heard of Fang La..."
