A dozen soldiers left the blacksmith's house and continued to search one side of the house. After they were sure to go far, the blacksmith came to the inner house, squatted by the bed and said with a smile: "come out, they are all gone and safe."
Wu Xinyi and others got out of bed. Looking at the smiling blacksmith, Wu Xinyi said slowly, "I didn't expect that the soldier leading the team would be your son." this was beyond the expectations of Wu Xinyi and others. They didn't have to worry about being found if they knew there was such a relationship.
The blacksmith smiled, then sighed and said slowly, "you misunderstood. He is not my own son. I went to Jiangnan to learn Tieyi earlier and picked him up on the roadside. I saw that the boy in his swaddling clothes was lovely, so I took him back."
The blacksmith sat at the wooden table, took tea and continued: "This child has a just and warm-hearted heart since childhood and wants to join the military camp to eliminate harm for the people. Unfortunately, Zhang Qiong is not a good captain at all. She acts sinister and ruthless. She often leads soldiers to commit evil, which is more hateful than the mountain bandits near Lingnan. My son has long been tired of staying with Zhang Qiong. He had thought of leaving before, but Hua Rong was arrested. Zhang Qiong doesn't allow any The soldier left at this critical time, so my son can only continue to follow Zhang Qiong. He also plans to leave Zhang Qiong completely after this incident subsides. He has been disappointed with the imperial court. "
Lin Chong sat in front of the blacksmith and asked in a low voice, "I see your son is strong and seems to have some martial arts. Why not be reused by that Joan?"
"Ah, my son knows that Zhang Qiong is narrow-minded, so he never shows his martial arts. He is worried that Zhang Qiong will be afraid of my son's pressure and secretly get rid of my son, so he has been hiding his strength and dare not show it. He has loved martial arts since childhood and has been to many places to practice martial arts. He didn't expect that his skills would be suppressed by an incompetent Zhang Qiong."
Hearing the blacksmith's story, Li Kui said directly, "let your son go to our Liangshan. We need talents in Liangshan."
Chaijin smiled, clapped his palm on Li Kui's shoulder and said with a smile, "Oh, unexpectedly, our Li Kui said a human word. You need talents? You learned these words from the military division."
Li Kui glared at Chai and then turned his head away: "hum, I'm a rough man. Those who look at me are brothers, and those who don't look at me are enemies. I see that boy is good just now. He's the same person as us. Why can't he come to Liangshan?"
"I didn't say no. It depends on whether others are willing or not. Don't forget that our current identity is against the imperial court. They are soldiers of Lingnan government. It's not so easy to let others turn against each other."
Lin Chong looked at the blacksmith seriously: "What are your plans? Are you going to live in Lingnan city with you after he leaves the government? Isn't that a waste of his martial arts? Like your son, I once entered the military camp with a dream. I thought I could fight for the people, but I didn't expect that the corruption of the imperial court had exceeded my imagination. They only thought of themselves and didn't care at all Taking care of the life and death of the people and someone plotting against me, I was forced to go to Liangshan. "
Lin Chong stood up and continued, "when I got to Liangshan, I met a group of like-minded brothers. We all care about the world in our hearts, so we played the banner of acting for heaven. We are bound to dig a road belonging to the common people in this troubled time. I believe this is what your son wants to see."
The blacksmith took a puff of dry tobacco and shook his head: "I've heard of the reputation of Liangshanpo. I admire your narrow sense, but I can't decide my son's way. If he wants to live a plain life and believes that the money you give me is enough, I won't stop him if he is willing to join you. Everything... Make a decision when he comes back in the evening. If you haven't left at that time, maybe you can talk."
The blacksmith got up and went to the inner room. After opening the wardrobe, he took out a quilt wrapped around the child from the corner. There was also a yellow bamboo slip in the quilt. The blacksmith handed over the things in his hand to Lin Chong and said slowly, "this is what he had when he was a child."
Lin Chong carefully looked at the content on the bamboo slip: "the family path is in decline, and the enemy is chasing and killing. This son is less than a month old. He is lost here today. I hope a kind-hearted person can raise him. If I can keep it, I will naturally find it. It is a thousand liang of gold to repay his upbringing."
Lin Chong frowned, looked at the description on the bamboo slip, and finally learned the blacksmith's son's name: Shi Xiu.
Chaijin stood beside Lin Chong and said helplessly, "I didn't expect him to have no father or mother. Fortunately, he was taken in and raised by a kind-hearted man. If this guy's martial arts are OK, it's better to let him join Liangshan."
Lin Chong smiled: "as long as he doesn't mind, Liangshanpo is naturally welcome. Now wait for the Luoyang brothers to come back. If the Luoyang brothers haven't come back before Shi Xiu's shift break at night, we'll try Shi Xiu's martial arts."
Wu Xinyi looked at Lin Cong with a serious face. Lin Chong, who was originally laughing, immediately restrained his smile: "Luoyang hasn't come back yet. Are you trying to win over forces?"
Lin Chong was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Miss Xinyi. You know, Liangshanpo has always been thirsty for talents. We naturally don't want to let go of talents with the same aspirations as us."
Wu Xinyi smiled: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that he is Zhang Qiong's man. Now that you have rescued Hua Rong, Zhang Qiong's task is naturally a failure, and the court will blame him. Who do you think Zhang Qiong will allow to leave at this time? According to his selfish character, if the court wants him to die, he will drag several people on his back. Shi Xiu is naturally one of them. Do you think that after the court blames him , will Zhang Qiong mercifully let those soldiers go? "
"Miss Xinyi's words reminded me." the blacksmith stood up and said with a look of amazement: "you have successfully rescued Huarong, but the imperial court will blame Zhang Qiong at all, and my son will be implicated at that time."
"Don't worry, uncle. If Shi Xiu is willing to join us, we will help him through this crisis. Moreover, we also caused his crisis."
The blacksmith looked at Chaijin and said, "what if he doesn't want to join you?"
Chaijin didn't answer, but walked aside with his head down.
Looking at Chai Jin's reaction, the blacksmith had an answer in his heart: "Hey, forget it. Look at his own fortune. Even if I want to hold his life and go out and report to the government now, he won't come to any good end if you are here. Everything goes with fate. I really hope he can agree to your invitation so that his life can be saved."
Lin Chong looked at the blacksmith with a serious face: "if Shi Xiu doesn't agree to join Liangshan, I'll also ensure his life."
"Really?" the blacksmith looked at Lin Chong in surprise.
"A gentleman's word is a whip. He is a hero. I naturally respect him. Such a person should not die in the hands of Zhang Qiong."
The blacksmith held Lin Chong's hand in tears: "thank you, old man. Thank you here."
