Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Three to five days have passed since Zhao Zhen returned to the fantasy world. During this period, Zhao Zhen ordered people to pick out three acres of good land in Dongxi Village and plant the water cotton seeds that had been dried in the main world. He also asked Tang Tian to take good care of it, and the cotton would also be promoted in the future.

Unfortunately, no one in Liangshan County had ever grown cotton. Zhao Zhen could only find two old farmers and told them the precautions he knew and asked them to follow them. After all, planting cotton only requires good management of water, fertilizer, and pruning. , control pests, and the harvest will not be much different.

Another thing is to send the packed [Huangshan Maofeng] and [100-year-old Huangshan Maofeng] to good men one by one. Every village official and county official also has a pound of [Huangshan Maofeng].

Forty stones of ordinary tea were also packed. After the birthday arrangements were completed, Shi Xiu and the others were asked to take them to the north to exchange for horses.

On this day, Zhao Zhen was planning to go to Jingyang Town to have a drink with Hua Rong and other heroes. Hu Sanniang and Hua Baoyan led a group of female riders who had already harnessed their horses. The horse troops led by Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were also neatly dressed and were about to go out. At that time, Yang Xiong of the Black Tiger Temple Assembly sent someone to report that there was a group of people under the banner of Yizhou arresting thieves, and he stopped them. After asking, I found out that he was the defense envoy of Dongcheng, Yizhou, who had abandoned his official position and was on the run. Hearing that high-ranking officials were recruiting good men here, they came with their families.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Quickly, let's bring Brother Yang Xiong to the village to meet him."

With that said, Zhao Zhen said to Lu Fang and Guo Sheng beside him: "Brothers, let's part ways for today. We will go to Jingyang Town another day."

Lu Fang said: "My lord, there are heroes coming to surrender today. We have all the horses and troops tied up properly. Why don't you let me and brother Guo Sheng go to greet them, and also let them see our weapons and equipment. It counts as today." It’s time to practice attacking and marching.”

Zhao Zhen looked at the cavalry in front of him and nodded: "This Liu Guang was originally an official of the imperial court. The two of you led a team to greet him, which also shows that I take him seriously."

After hearing this, Lu Fang and his two men led the team straight to Black Tiger Temple Town.

"Sanniang, are you and Sister Hua going to Jingyang Town?" Zhao Zhen turned to Hu Sanniang and asked.

"Guanren, sister Baoyan is homesick. I'll go with sister Baoyan first. How about you go look for me later?"

"That's good. The pigeon message has been passed around. Brother Hua Rong in the province has no one to worry about. I'll be there in a few days."

After Hu Sanniang and others left, Zhao Zhen ordered Zhao Yuanli to prepare water and wine in preparation for receiving the Liu Guang family who came to vote.

Let's talk about Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. Their cavalry galloped towards Black Tiger Temple Town. The iron hooves fell, raising dust all over the sky. The horse's mane is flying, the battle flag is rustling in the wind, and the iron halberd in the soldier's hand is like a forest.

Liu Guang and others were surprised when they saw him from a distance. Liu Qi said: "Father, I didn't expect the sergeants here in Liangshan County to be so majestic."

Liu Lin said: "Compared with this, the officers and soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture are like clay."

Next to him, Yang Xiong said: "This capital's cavalry army is just like the infantry army in Black Tiger Temple Town. They are all newly built. The first two, the one wearing red is [Little Wen Hou] Lu Fang, and the one wearing white is [Sai Ren] Gui] Guo Sheng, both have good martial arts skills and are about the same age as the two young generals. They are both young heroes. Now they are both brave generals of the horse army, guarding the high officials. They must have heard that Mr. Liu and his family are coming. The officials sent two generals to greet them."

While talking, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng came to the crowd and reined in their horses. Everyone immediately bowed their hands in greeting, and Lu Fang said: "Brother Yang Xiong, is this the Liu Guang Liu Defense Envoy?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiong stepped forward and introduced him to everyone.

Guo Shengdao: "The two of us are here to greet Master Liu and his family on orders from senior officials."

Liu Guang didn't dare, so Lu Fang and Guo Sheng gave the order to turn the horses' heads, and everyone hurried slowly towards Baishi Manor. Not long after leaving, a group of female riders came forward. When they saw the crowd, they did not stop and galloped past the official road.

When Liu Qi saw it, he pointed at the retreating cavalry and asked, "Brother Lu Fang, what is this?"

Lu Fang said: "This is the female cavalry team of the high official who protects the village. They have all fought on the battlefield. Now they have taken refuge with the high official. They originally found a job in a silk shop, but these people are not suitable. The high official is again They were summoned and a female cavalry team was established, headed by Hu Sanniang, the concubine of a high official, and Hua Baoyan, the sister of Hua Rong, the general manager of Jingyang Town. "

A woman at the back asked: "Can women also join the army and become generals?"

Guo Sheng said with a smile: "What's the matter? These two women are not the only generals in the county. [Iron Rod] Luan Tingyu's wife [Flying Sword Fairy] Wu Sanniang is also the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the horse army, and is employed by high-ranking officials. , regardless of the style, men, women, old and young, as long as they have the ability, they can all have a place.”

Liu Guangdao: "No wonder there are rumors in the world that high officials have the legacy of Meng Chang."

Liu Guang wanted to inquire, but Yang Xiong and the other three did not shy away from it and told Liu Guang everything they knew. By the time he arrived at Baishi Manor, Liu Guang already had a preliminary understanding of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen put down his horse cup and wanted everyone to sit down in the hall.

Zhao Zhen took the first seat, Yang Xiong and the others took the main seat on the left, and Liu Guang and his family took the guest seats on the right. Liu Guang looked up and saw two brothers, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, with their female relatives behind them. Liu Guang also introduced them one by one. Behind Liu Guang are Liu's mother and his wife, behind Liu Qi and Liu Lin are their respective wives, and the one sitting at the end is Liu Guang's daughter Liu Huiniang.

"My two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they both have martial arts skills. Their two wives are also daughters of generals, and they also have some martial arts skills, but they are not very good. This daughter is indeed the apple of my eye. . She is gifted with a keen eye, able to distinguish coins at night, and can identify people within two to three hundred miles during the day. She has been clever in making utensils since she was a child. The ability to have a photographic memory.”

"When she was sixteen, an old nun once took her to an ancient cave in the mountains and taught her the art of war, Qimen Dunjia, and Taiyi Liuren. She learned it in half a year, and then she returned home. So they all called her her [Female Zhuge].

When Zhao Zhen looked at it, Liu Huiniang had taken off her veil. She was indeed beautiful and graceful, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, indescribably so delicate and beautiful.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Zhao Zhen gathered his thoughts and asked, "Why did Mr. Liu give up the official position of defense envoy?"

After Liu Guang heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "It makes people furious. There is a new governor in Yizhou Prefecture, called Gao Feng. This guy is Gao Qiu's clan brother. I don't know where he learned some magic skills. He has a team leader named Ruan Qixiang, and he has a son named Zhao'er, who has the most handsome features. Ruan Qixiang wants to exploit the gap in my defense of Dongcheng and offer his son to Gao. Feng was my companion and we were in love with each other, so he found fault with me out of thin air and dismissed me for no reason."

"Afterwards, they wanted to plunder my belongings. Fortunately, Kong Mu of Yizhou Prefecture was a loyal, generous and upright man. He tried his best to maintain it, bought it, and sued his subordinates before escaping from Yizhou City. Ruan Qixiang made up for the deficiencies in the defense of the east city, and even more There is nothing wrong with me. I was working as a farmer in Anle Village, but I couldn't escape the persecution of Ruan Qixiang, so I had to flee with my family."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sighed: "How can such a person become the governor of a mansion?"

"Isn't it better that I have a good brother who can speak well in front of officials? I heard that this guy has an elder brother named Gao Liande, who is also the governor of the same house. There is no man in the family who does not hold any official position. The entire dynasty is civil and military. Most of them are treacherous and evil, who deceive the saints, who are evil and jealous of talents. They are all loyal and upright people. Except for these treacherous ministers, no loyal ministers can be promoted. Machine." Liu Guang sighed.

Liu Qi also said: "Who says it's not the case? My brother and I applied for the martial arts examination. I hate that the examiner was unfair. Even the yamen who were not as good at martial arts as me were selected."

Seeing that Liu Guang's family had many complaints about the unfairness of the court, Zhao Zhen said: "What Liu Fengfeng said is right, but it's a pity that we are in a low position and have a low position, so we dare not expect anything else. Being able to protect a place and protect the people there to live and work in peace and contentment is a big deal for us." That's enough."

After hearing this, Yang Xiong and Lu Fang said repeatedly: "Yes, we and other reckless people can have a place to live and have a place to use their martial arts. They are all led by high officials. How is the official family, the light and darkness of the court, and What should I do?”
