Water Margin Survival

When Wang Lun invited him out of the ear room, Wang Qing had already recovered to the level he should have been the leader of the 28 villages in the past.He even personally went up to offer a bowl of water and wine to the old man Ma who hated him so much.It's a pity that the old man Ma had just recovered from a serious illness, so he couldn't drink this bowl of water wine that represented Wang Qing's temperament. In the end, Ma Xie raised the glass on behalf of his father. In the decisive eyes, he realized that he and this person should have completely parted ways.

Nearly a hundred heroes from all over the world gathered, and the atmosphere of this banquet was undoubtedly warm.At this time, even Li Zhu accepted the toasts from the leaders of Liangshan with a smile on his face. Wang Qing suddenly had a feeling that he should be the only person on this island who drank bitter wine, and he had to keep his mouth shut all the time. A smiling face representing grace.

People are always willing to recall some beautiful past events in adversity, and Wang Qing is no exception.At this time, he suddenly thought of the girl in Tokyo whose nickname was Jiaoxiu. I don't know how she is doing well now that she is married to Cai's mansion?

When he was frustrated, his hands and feet were blind, Wang Qing took the bowl of real wine in front of Li Zhu by mistake, and took a sip. It was so intense that his throat felt like it was on fire, but at this time, Wang Qing didn't even have the slightest reaction. Taste the taste of this bitter wine.How similar is this fiery feeling to his current life situation?Stepping on the hollow, I lost all face, I really don't know the road ahead, how to support it.

"Leader, why don't I tell Chief Wang that we should go down and rest first?" Li Zhu asked Wang Qing's abnormality.

"It's rude for the guests to leave first without the master saying anything!" Wang Qing kept silent after uttering this sentence, staring blankly at the bonfire in the distance. Li Zhu sighed.Looking back, he got up and left.

Wang Qing didn't realize it.

When Li Zhu came back, there were two people behind him.It turned out that Wang Lun and Chai Jin came together.Chai Jin noticed that Wang Qing was out of his mind, and looked back at Wang Lun.He said: "President Wang seems to be overwhelmed, how about going down to rest first?"

Only then did Wang Qing come back to his senses, stood up slowly, and said hoarsely, "It's okay! The scenery on the mountain is so beautiful, I just remembered some old things in Tokyo!"

Chai Jin only knew that Wang Qing was from a deputy soldier in the Kaifeng mansion, but he didn't know the old news about him in Tokyo. Seeing that he didn't want to leave the table at this time, he made a haha ​​and went vaguely.But Wang Lun knows everything.Seeing that he held on all night, at least showing some true temperament, he suddenly read: "Red crispy hands, yellow wine, and willows in the palace walls full of spring. The east wind is evil, the joy is weak, and I am sad. ...Tong Guan..." "Excellent words!" Chai Jin knew the goods, and when he heard Wang Lun's words, he only had the word "wonderful" in his mind.Immediately, he couldn't help but shouted, but he didn't understand why the eunuch Tong Guan was suddenly mentioned later. Could it be that this word has something to do with him?

Chai Jin was meditating.Hearing the sound of "Kang Dang", he hurriedly raised his eyes to see, it turned out that it was Wang Qing who accidentally dropped the wine bowl on the table to the ground. At this moment, he was looking at Wang Lun in disbelief, his lips trembling up and down, but he didn't dare to ask him. : How did you learn about my secret?

"Manly man, don't stick to small details. There is still a long way to go. Wang Meng needs to cheer up!" Wang Lun clicked to stop, since the leader of the green forest can still lose his composure.That means he hasn't been numb and depressed to the point of losing himself.

"Yes... my little brother has been taught!" Wang Qing sat back on the bench, and the more he got in touch with the person in front of him, the more he felt a little bottomless.He really didn't know whether this person was a human or a ghost, and he even pryed into such secrets that he didn't tell anyone.After all, this matter is regarded as a family scandal in Tong's Mansion, and it will not be publicized at all, and it is even more impossible for him to talk about it everywhere.

Wang Lun carefully looked at the sluggish Wang Qing, thinking for a while.Compared with the original trajectory, this person has suffered too many additional setbacks. If I don't give him some thought and hang my head, if this person can't hold back and collapses, then it is definitely not good news for Liang Shanbo.

Forget it, I wanted to take a breather and talk to this person in detail, but seeing how he is now, I'd better inform him in advance!Wang Lun thought to himself.

"Since President Wang is finished eating, follow me and take you to a place!" Hearing Wang Lun's invitation.

Wang Qing didn't express anything, just stood up casually, with no joy or sorrow on his face, which probably meant that he was letting the emperor do his own thing.Wang Lun smiled kindly at him, asked him and Li Zhu to go a few steps ahead, and then turned around to say hello to Deng Yuanjue, the apologist of the Mingjiao who was eating and drinking at the next table. Liao raised his hands full of juices and said: "You two big brothers are free, but the little monk has a leg disease, so he can't get up to see him off!"

Wang Lun smiled, and said to Lu Zhishen who was accompanying the guest, "Master entertain the guest for me!"

"Brother, don't worry, this bald fellow will stay with you at home!" Lu Zhishen readily agreed.

Deng Yuanjue laughed, he didn't mind Lu Zhishen's title at all, he just took the opportunity to express the thought that had been in his heart for a long time: "Monk Hua, when I recover from my injury, you can lend me your weapon!"

"What excuse? I'm afraid you won't be able to do it! Come, have a drink!" Lu Zhishen raised the wine bowl and collided with Deng Yuanjue.

Wang Lun saw that the two monks really hit it off, and thought that the scene of sparks colliding with the earth under the city of Hangzhou would never happen again. He immediately shook his head and smiled, walked to Wang Qing and Li Zhu, said "please", and then Lead the way with Chai Jin.

Wang Qing didn't ask about the destination because he had completely lost his mind at this time, while Li Zhu kept silent because he trusted Wang Lun.Although my junior brother doesn't like to talk thoroughly, he thinks more thoroughly than anyone else. Although he doesn't mention what he is taking the two of us to do, he will definitely not aim at nothing.

With this in mind, Li Zhu chatted and laughed with Chai Jin along the way, admiring Liangshan Fengshui. In fact, Chai Jin was also going up the mountain for the first time, so the two of them talked speculatively along the way.

But seeing the sky full of stars and the moon as bright as day, the four of them walked along the mountain road for a while and came to a huge warehouse. The guard sergeant on duty saw that it was Wang Lun himself, and saluted respectfully. Wang Lun ordered the warehouse door to be opened. Inviting Wang Qing and Li Zhu to enter, all the sergeants automatically lit torches and went into the warehouse to illuminate the village master.

Only then did Li Zhu and Wang Qing see the situation in front of them clearly, but when they saw dense sacks piled up like a hill in the warehouse three to five feet high, Wang Qing was a little puzzled, wondering what Wang Lun brought him to see Liangshan's inventory. reason?Li Zhu, however, had sharp eyes, and found that these sacks were slightly different from those containing grain. He was shocked and said, "Salt!?"

"When I was in Huangzhou back then, didn't senior brother mention to me that he wanted to take salt from Liangshanbo? Here is a bag of [-] catties, senior brother, let's take a look!" Wang Lun nodded, confirming his guess.

Li Zhu looked back at Wang Qing in surprise, and found that Wang Qing, who had been careless before, was also paying attention at this moment. Li Zhu excitedly said: "Junior brother, can you see how good you are?"

Wang Lun smiled, took a dagger from the soldier holding the fire, and threw it to Li Zhu from the air. On the ground, he bent down and pierced it immediately, but saw the fine white salt like snow pouring out of the hole, making a pleasant "swipe" sound. Any slightly larger salt balls on the table are full of such fine salt grains. Li Zhu was suddenly ecstatic, and finally squeezed out a small pinch of refined salt, put it in his mouth, rubbed it up and down on the upper and lower rows of teeth, and enjoyed it all over his face. .

"Leader, Xiaodao has never seen finer fine salt than this, you can see for yourself?" Li Zhu handed out a handful of fine salt to Wang Qing after enjoying it.

Although Wang Qing was no longer lifeless at this time, he did not take the handful of salt from Assistant Li, but walked to Wang Lun with a heavy heart, and said after a while: "Is the goods in the hands of Chief Wang all of this quality?"

Wang Lun smiled, turned his head to signal, a small boss handed over a dagger, Wang Lun took it, handed it to Wang Qing, and pointed to the warehouse, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Wang Qing looked at the dagger in his hand, handed it back to Wang Lun, laughed at himself, and said, "Since Chief Wang is so confident, I won't waste it!"

Li Zhu also surrounded him at this moment, and said with a smile, "Junior brother, how much salt do you have, we want it all!"

"It's only a small part, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a drop in the ocean. As long as the senior brother and Wang Mengzhu, I can guarantee any amount at any time!" Wang Lun laughed.

Li Zhu was about to answer, but at this moment Wang Qing sighed and said: "Boss Wang, don't blame me for not listening to me. It's just such a high-quality powder. The price Liang Shanbo collected is not low. In addition, you and I The profits of the two companies, and the selling price at that time, may still be higher than the official salt..."

When Wang Qing said this, he really wasn't trying to lower the price with Wang Lun.After all, salt is only a few tens of pennies a catty, and the earning is only a little bit of money, and it depends on the amount.However, the price of refined salt is high, and the market is bound to be poor. In addition, Liangshanbo is far away from Fangshan, and there are many state capitals on the road.For the encirclement and investigation of those small teams of salt smugglers, the government is still very competent.After going and going like this, although it is not possible to work for nothing, he still has a good idea of ​​how much he can earn.

Li Zhujian coughed and said with a smile, "Leader, what are we afraid of when we are doing private salt business? Isn't it because we are afraid that the goods will not be enough to sell? Now we have a population of tens of millions in the Song Dynasty, and the production of official salt cannot be supplied. The price of these refined salts is a bit high, but there is still a market for them, for example, merchants in wine shops, wealthy families, we can still try it and sell it together!"

Wang Qing smiled reluctantly, stopped talking, and didn't even ask the price. Li Zhu felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and he was afraid that his junior brother would lose his face, but Wang Lun just smiled and said with confidence: "If the price is not a problem, Transportation is not a problem, so what about this matter?"
