Chapter 483: Hitting the Snake with a Stick
It seems that as long as the name is Liangshan, you can't escape the process of being recruited and then going south to fight against the rebellion?
This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
However, after receiving Li Zhao's imperial edict, he, as the recruiting envoy to recruit Liangshan bandits, naturally needed to speed up.
In less than five days, the recruiting team passing by Yingtian Prefecture did not stop and rushed to Yunzhou Yuncheng.
Lin Chen, who was running all the way, stopped at the edge of Liangshan Water Park in an unusual way.
"This Liangshan Water Park has some geographical advantages."
Even if you have seen the scene of Liangshan Water Park before, it is still quite shocking to see it again today.
No wonder the original book said that Liangshan Water Park is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to lay a foundation.
But now, most of the people in Liangshan Water Park are fishermen who make a living from the surrounding villages, and there are no traces of thieves.
The reason is simple.
Almost all the bandits were dragged by Song Jiang to Qi to cause trouble. As for Chao Gai, the famous Tower-Bearing Heavenly King in the original book, he is still the village head and lives a rich life.
Compared with the original book where he abandoned his family and career and was finally killed by stray arrows, Chao Gai in this world is undoubtedly lucky.
"Fisherman, do you have any big fish today?"
On a big boat, Jinyiwei leaned on the bow and asked the fisherman below, "Today, a certain master wants to entertain guests, and send some good fish up!"
"Haha, don't worry, there are big fish."
The fisherman was not afraid of life, and he smiled and reached into the basket.
Wow!
I saw a white-bellied carp weighing about ten pounds being grabbed by the gills and struggling to pull it out of the water.
"Not bad!"
The Jinyiwei's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he jumped off the bow and picked up the basket.
"This basket is also included!"
After saying that, the Jinyiwei threw down half a penny and turned away.
The fisherman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily.
There are a lot of fish in Liangshan Water Margin, so the price is naturally cheap.
A pound of fish meat is only a few coins.
This half a penny is included in the profit he can make from fishing for two months.
"Then, sir!"
The fisherman seemed to think of something and shouted, "I have a golden carp here, do you want it?"
"Oh?"
The Jinyiwei was stunned when he heard it and stopped.
After a while,
Lin Chen looked at the thing swallowing bubbles in the water with interest.
I saw this carp with a pattern that looked like gold but not gold, leaning against the basin, looking at him eagerly.
The fish's eyes, which should have been half dead, actually revealed a hint of pleading, as if asking Lin Chen to spare its life.
This fish, has become a spirit?
Lin Chen's heart moved. He had never seen such a smart fish.
This was why he kept it and did not send it to the cook to make soup.
"You are smart."
Looking at the carp swaying in the basin and begging for mercy, Lin Chen laughed and stood up and took it to the boat.
Let's go!
Then he saw several water splashes on the water. The carp that had just fallen into the water was turning over as if dizzy.
Of course, Lin Chen, who was holding back his strength, was just teasing it.
The smart appearance of this fish reminded him of many strange stories.
It was hard to imagine.
A fish actually showed a human-like angry look.
However, after the golden-edged carp was thrown out by Lin Chen, it swam back soon.
But it was not to repay the favor, but to surface and look at Lin Chen with a curse.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and flicked his fingers slightly.
Splash.
The splashing water splashed the carp on its head.
"Are you still not leaving? When a fisherman comes, I'll catch you and stew you into soup."
Hearing the words "fisherman" and "stewed soup", the golden-edged carp was startled and dived into the water and disappeared.
Lin Chen, who was watching this scene, shook his head slightly.
Ever since the Zixiao Kunlun group saw the warnings left by the successive leaders in the blessed land of the Xiaoyao Sect,
he knew that the great changes in this world of Zongwu were not far away.
I never thought it would come so quickly, and now even the monsters have appeared.
Lin Chen, with a few strange colors in his eyes, turned and walked into the cabin with his hands behind his back, waiting for someone to arrive.
He was waiting for no one else but Qi Wang Chai Rong.
After a while, Chai Rong boarded the ship with a dragon-like step, but his face was a little gloomy.
At this time, he was full of doubts. If he hadn't received Lin Chenjia's letter, he would not have chosen to go to Yuncheng.
Logically speaking, he and the other party should be mortal enemies.
Why did Lin Chenjia invite him privately?
Chai Rong, the Prince of Qi, who was so suspicious, finally came to accept the invitation.
He wanted to see what tricks Lin Chenjia was playing.
"Your Highness, Prince of Qi, you know that the fish in Liangshan Water Margin is delicious and you must try it." Lin Chen greeted Chai Rong calmly when he saw him coming.
The Prince of Qi nodded slightly expressionlessly, looking directly at the man in front of him who was still wearing a bronze ghost mask.
Speculations about the appearance of Yulin General Lin Chenjia have long been circulated.
Who made this person show a ghost mask wherever he goes.
"General Lin, it is a taboo for court officials to meet with vassal kings in private. Are you really not afraid?" Chai Rong suddenly turned the tables and asked coldly.
Indeed.
If the military generals in the court who hold military power meet with vassal kings in private, Lin Chen will definitely be impeached by the censor.
It is more likely that the emperor Li Zhao will miss her.
"Oh?"
Lin Chen pretended to be surprised, but he was not panicked and said, "Oh? What does your highness the Prince of Qi mean? This time, I invited you here, but it was just to discuss important matters in private. How can outsiders know?"
The implication is that only the two of them knew about this matter.
Of course, even if Chai Rong told others, Lin Chen would not care.
Just treat it as a rumor.
Chai Rong's eyes became more gloomy when he heard it.
Seeing that Lin Chenjia ignored his threats, Chai Rong sat down silently and said in a deep voice: "In this case, why did General Lin invite me here?"
Chai Rong naturally did not intend to deal with the person in front of him anymore. They were all thousand-year-old foxes, and playing tricks would not get him any good.
He thought that Lin Chenjia invited him here for threats or to show goodwill.
But he did not expect that.
The first sentence of this guy in front of him was to complain to him!
"Your highness the Prince of Qi, everyone in the outside world knows that the Liangshan bandits have gathered 100,000 people and have become powerful! "
Chai Rong was stunned?
What does this mean?
"In my opinion, this time's amnesty will be in vain, otherwise..."
Chai Rong's facial muscles twitched when he heard Lin Chen's words.
If he hadn't known that the first person in the court to write a petition for amnesty was this thief in front of him, he would have really believed it!
However, Chai Rong also understood Lin Chen's hidden meaning at this moment.
It's nothing more than wanting to get some benefits from him.
However, the matter of amnesty is all in the hands of this person.
If the other party really delays it, the Qi clan will suffer in the end!
Chai Rong secretly cursed Lin Chen for being a son of a man, but he still had to force a smile on his face and said that he was willing to cooperate with the work of the pacification envoy.
The King of Qi, who had no way to say his grievances and swallowed his teeth, was very unhappy.
On the other hand, Lin Chen didn't expect Chai Rong to be so sensible, and immediately smiled and said:
"Hahaha, eat fish, Your Highness the King of Qi, try it. "
