Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Not to mention that the state official and his concubine opened their eyes and saw a dog's head hanging above their heads. They were almost frightened to death. They finally recovered. After seeing the word "Shi Qian", they quickly sent someone to take the state official's head. He went to the Jizhou government office to withdraw the accusation against Shi Qian.

Afterwards, the frightened state official was particularly worried, so he simply asked someone to carry him to the Jizhou Prefecture, where he personally discussed with the Jizhou Prefecture Yin and quickly released Shi Qian.

He only said that Jiang Hongfei asked Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song, Tang Bin and Deng Fei to lead his personal guards to search for Shi Xiu in major markets in Jizhou for six days, and finally asked Deng Fei to find Shi Xiu.

I heard from the salesman at the market that the 26 or 27-year-old young man selling firewood in front of him was Shixiu, the desperate Saburo.

Deng Fei, who didn't know why Jiang Hongfei was looking for Shi Xiu, but knew that Jiang Hongfei's orders must be resolutely carried out, immediately stepped forward and paid homage to Shi Xiu: "I wonder if a good man is a desperate man?"

At this time, Deng Fei saw clearly that although Shi Xiu was good-looking, he was dressed in rags and was not doing well at first glance.

But Deng Fei did not underestimate Shi Xiu because of this, or it could be said that because Shi Xiu was the person Jiang Hongfei was looking for, no matter how bad Shi Xiu was, Deng Fei believed that Jiang Hongfei had a deep meaning in finding Shi Xiu, and he just had to do it.

One look at Deng Fei's red eyes, green eyebrows, slender waist and broad back, and he looked like a good man. Looking at Deng Fei's valuable outfit, Shi Xiu knew that Deng Fei was definitely not an ordinary person. He quickly replied: "That's right. He's a villain, I wonder what's the point of a hero calling a villain?"

As soon as he heard that he had found the right person, Deng Fei immediately took Shi Xiu's arm affectionately and said, "I finally found you. Do you know that in order to find you, we almost turned Jizhou City upside down? Let's go, let's go." I would like to introduce you to an extravagant hero who is famous all over the world for his righteousness and wealth, helping those in danger and those in need."

It was impossible for Shi Xiu not to be suspicious of Deng Fei who came to him for no reason and even took him to meet a big shot rashly.

But Shi Xiu has martial arts, brains, and courage, but he can only live the poorest life.

Shi Xiu was extremely unwilling to do this.

And with Shi Xiu's humble background, she had no choice to change her poor destiny.

Therefore, Shi Xiu does not reject any opportunity that can change his poor fate, including turning a grassroots into a bandit.

Let's put it this way, in "Water Margin", people like Song Jiang, Qin Ming, Zhu Dian, Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian are different from those who don't want to go to Liangshan, and they are also different from people like Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song who have no choice but to go to Liangshan. , Shi Xiu is one of the few Liangshan heroes who actively wants to be a bandit.

In order to get ahead, Shi Xiu was even willing to become a bandit. When he heard Deng Fei say that the person he wanted to introduce was a person who was generous with money, helped people in need, was famous in the world, and was extravagant, the first thing he thought about was not his own safety, but: "Could it be that he wanted to introduce someone to him?" Is there an opportunity for me, Shi Xiu, to make a comeback? Is there a big shot who wants to take me, Shi Xiu?"

As for safety?

How could Shi Xiu, who was so poor and barely able to eat, be afraid of danger?

Furthermore, it doesn’t matter what Shi Xiu’s nickname is. If someone really wants to frame him, they will have to fight tooth and nail.

Precisely because of this, although Shi Xiu was confused, Shi Xiu did not resist Deng Fei taking him away.

Soon, the attentive Shi Xiu determined that the person who was looking for him was definitely not an ordinary person.

The group of people looking for him not only numbered in the hundreds, but each one of them was a Qi practitioner. They all held cold swords in their hands, uniform waist knives on their waists, wore high-quality leather armor, and carried bows on their backs. With crossbows and arrows, he looked like a capable guard.

What's more important is that these four leaders are not ordinary people at first glance.

One has a bumpy face with strange flesh and protruding eyes. It's as thick as pig iron, and it's suspected to be made of stubborn copper.

One, with a majestic body and a dignified appearance. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were as thick as paint. His chest is broad and his words are high-pitched.

One, eight feet four to five feet tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, long and thin arms, a chin and a tiger beard, and his arms seemed to have the strength of thousands of kilograms.

And Deng Fei, who Shi Xiu had judged before, was definitely a hero.

How could he be an ordinary person with four heroes like him and nearly a hundred guards armed to the teeth?

Shi Xiu was so excited that he vaguely felt that he was about to turn over.

Soon, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song, Tang Bin and Deng Fei brought Shi Xiu to the inn and met Jiang Hongfei.

At this time, Shi Xiu was even more convinced that Jiang Hongfei's identity must be extraordinary.

It's so easy to see.

In addition to Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song, Tang Bin and Deng Fei, Jiang Hongfei is also accompanied by Gao Liang, Chen Liqing, Sun Jing, Shi Jin, Bian Xiang, Yu Cheng, as well as five maids: Osmanthus, Mint, Bergamot, Rose and Hongling.

It is true that the women are fat and thin, and the men are all heroic. The only one who is unattractive is Sun Jing, who Shi Xiu cannot see through.

"I, Shi Xiu, have really had a good time!" Shi Xiu thought with great excitement.

Jiang Hongfei looked Shi Xiu up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and then said bluntly: "He is like a tiger in the mountains, and his nature is like fueling fire. He is ambitious, bold, and resourceful, and he can help people everywhere. He relies on a stick. With just two fists, your reputation is all over Huangzhou, and you are a desperate man, Shi Xiu. I want to accept you as the leader of my personal army. How about it?"

Ruan Xiaoqi definitely has no problem with loyalty, and commanding three to five hundred personal guards does not have any problem with his ability.

But one thing is that Ruan Xiaoqi is not smart enough and is not suitable for doing superficial things.

Let's put it this way, if Jiang Hongfei could have a pro-military leader like Yan Qing, it would definitely save Jiang Hongfei a lot of trouble.

For example, when I asked the waiter at the shop about Yang Xiong a few days ago, Jiang Hongfei didn't have to go and ask in person.

In Jiang Hongfei's opinion, the most suitable person to be the leader of his own army is Yan Qing. He is loyal, smart, and organized. He is simply the perfect leader of his own army.

pity!

Not to mention that Lu Junyi and Yan Qing haven't gone to Liangshan yet, and I don't know if they will go to Liangshan like in "Water Margin".

But even if Lu Junyi and Yan Qing really go to Liangshan in the future, the one Yan Qing is most loyal to will definitely be Lu Junyi. This is something Jiang Hongfei can't change.

Therefore, even if Lu Junyi and Yan Qing go to Liangshan in the future, Jiang Hongfei can at most borrow Yan Qing from Lu Junyi, and it is impossible for Yan Qing to become his personal army commander.

——If Jiang Hongfei forcibly dismantles the master-servant pair of Lu Junyi and Yan Qing, he may not only fail to get Yan Qing, but also cause dissatisfaction between Lu Junyi and Yan Qing, laying the foundation for disaster in Shuibo Liangshan.

As a result, Jiang Hongfei must no longer consider letting Yan Qing be his personal army commander.

In Jiang Hongfei's opinion, besides Yan Qing, the most suitable person to be his personal army commander is Shi Xiu.

In the original work, the road to Zhujiazhuang was difficult to walk, so Song Jiang sent Shi Xiu and Yang Lin to explore the road. Shi Xiu not only successfully found out the mechanism of Pantuo Road from old man Zhongli, but also helped Song Jiang, who was trapped in the maze, to break out of the encirclement. Yang Lin was caught directly, which showed Shi Xiu's super communication skills, intelligence gathering ability and outstanding wisdom.

Soon Shi Xiu pretended to be defeated again and was willing to be captured by undercover Sun Li and went to Zhujiazhuang to serve as an internal agent. He made great contributions to breaking Zhujiazhuang and gained a foothold in Liangshan. This showed Shi Xiu's outstanding courage.

Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong were sent to Daming Mansion to investigate the situation.

Although Yan Qing rescued Lu Junyi at that time, Lu Junyi was later captured by the people who were chasing him.

Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong met Yan Qing and decided on the spot that Yang Xiong and Yan Qing would return to Liangshan to ask for help, while Shi Xiu continued to Daming Mansion to follow the development of the situation.

When Shi Xiu arrived at Daming Mansion, Liang Zhongshu was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he decided to execute Lu Junyi immediately on the spot.

At the critical moment when Cai Fu was about to raise his sword for execution, Shi Xiu made a decisive decision and went to rob the execution site alone.

"All the heroes of Liangshanbo are here!"

After saying this, Shi Xiu jumped down from the building, holding a steel knife in his hand, killing people like melons and vegetables. If you can't get away, kill more than a dozen of them. Holding Lu Junyi with one hand, Tounan left...

This is probably the most tragic and passionate scene in Water Margin!

This shows Shi Xiu's outstanding loyalty.

Wise!

Be brave!

Righteous!

What a desperate Saburo!

Apart from Yan Qing, among the Liangshan heroes, Jiang Hongfei really couldn't think of anyone else who was more suitable to be his own army leader than Shi Xiu.

In addition, Shi Xiu's fate in "Water Margin" was really bad. He cast two people one after another, but neither of them could really lead him.

Let’s talk about Yang Xiong first.

First of all, it is undeniable that Yang Xiong still has some fighting power.

Just look at Yang Xiong's nickname "Bing Guansuo", and you can actually know a thing or two.

——Guan Suo is said to be the son of Guan Yu. He is highly skilled in martial arts and can kill enemies fiercely. He is a fierce general.

In addition, Yang Xiong is ranked thirty-second among the 108 heroes, which also shows that he should not be underestimated.

Secondly, Yang Xiong is indeed a person who is informal, easy to make friends, and extremely enthusiastic. He saved Shi Qian, was kind to Du Xing, and made friends with Shi Xiu, which all prove this, especially making friends with Shi Xiu. Although it was Shi Xiu who saved Yang Xiong At first, but afterwards, Yang Xiong saw that Shi Xiu and he were congenial. Not only did he not care about Shi Xiu's low status and became brothers with different surnames, he also invited Shi Xiu to live in his home.

In short, Yang Xiong is actually pretty good.

But Yang Xiong is obviously not a "clear master".

This is particularly obvious in the case of Pan Qiaoyun.

Reckless, indecisive, soft-eared, and impulsive.

Being a younger brother to Yang Xiong like this is really a waste of time for Shi Xiu.

Let’s talk about Lu Junyi.

Needless to say, Lu Junyi's combat prowess is definitely the top existence in Water Margin.

But Lu Junyi had problems with his emotional intelligence. He couldn't tell the difference between Yan Qing and Li Gu, and he was so capable that in the end, Li Gu stole his wife and Wu Yong was framed and imprisoned.

Although he later had an epiphany due to the disaster, he was still a little dull in the end. He was obsessed with being an official and pedantic. He did not treat Yan Qing and Shi Xiu kindly who risked their lives to save him.

Therefore, being Shi Xiu's little brother to Lu Junyi is not much better than being Yang Xiong's little brother.

Shi Xiu's subsequent status in Shuibo Liangshan was all fought for by himself, not by the help of his two good brothers.

Jiang Hongfei really felt sorry for Shi Xiu, who was brave, resourceful, affectionate and righteous.

Jiang Hongfei didn't want Shi Xiu to be like in "Water Margin", working desperately, but in the end still not being able to realize his own value.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Jiang Hongfei particularly like Shi Xiu as his personal army commander, that is, Shi Xiu is not good at women and can definitely resist temptation.

This is very important to Jiang Hongfei, who has many women. He does not want to become Lu Junyi's second.

Jiang Hongfei even felt that Yan Qing might be slightly inferior to Shi Xiu at this point.

Of course, Yan Qing is also a good man who can resist temptation. The first time Li Shishi saw Yan Qing, he fell in love with Yan Qing. He seduced Yan Qing so much that Yan Qing's heart was not moved, which is enough to show that Yan Qing can resist it. Live the temptation.

But although Yan Qing is strong-willed, she is still a romantic figure and a womanizer at heart.

And Shi Xiu is completely bad at women.

In comparison, Shi Xiu should be more secure.

In short, before coming to Jizhou, Jiang Hongfei had already made up his mind. If he could find Shi Xiu during this trip, he would let Shi Xiu and Ruan Xiaoqi become his own army leaders.

Seeing Jiang Hongfei talking quickly and summarizing him in a poem, Shi Xiu obviously knew that he was a good man and eager to change his poor destiny. Without saying a word, Shi Xiu bowed to the ground: "Shi Xiu pays homage to the master. "

"Don't call me master. We are not in a master-servant relationship. We are brothers. We call you brother." Jiang Hongfei corrected him.

Shi Xiu didn't hesitate on this issue. He simply changed his words and said: "Brother, please accept my bow!"

Jiang Hongfei looked at Shi Xiu and asked, "Don't you have anything to ask? Who am I? How do I know you? Why did I choose you to be my military commander? What can I give you?"

Shi Xiu didn't even hesitate and said: "No need. I just need to know that Xie is my elder brother, the one I am loyal to, and I am loyal to my brother."

Seeing this, even Sun Jing couldn't help but said to Jiang Hongfei: "Fortress Master, this pro-military leader that Xie Xin has recruited is quite interesting."

Jiang Hongfei said bluntly: "He is not only interesting, he is the leader of my own army carefully selected from countless heroes. Like Xiao Qi, he is my last line of defense."

Shi Xiu instinctively felt that Jiang Hongfei had a high opinion of him, but because he still didn't know how important Ruan Xiaoqi was to Jiang Hongfei, it was not easy for him to judge the weight of Jiang Hongfei's words.

But even so, Shi Xiu didn't ask anything.

Shi Xiu didn't ask, so Jiang Hongfei didn't need to tell the lie he made up. It wasn't like he was panicking.

Jiang Hongfei asked Ruan Xiaoqi to take Shi Xiu to take a bath and change clothes.

It is said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

Wearing a pointed dry red concave face scarf on the head, a green robe with a tiger-shaped velvet collar and gold embroidery on it, a wolf-shaped gold-covered belly red shoulder strap tied around the waist, and a pair of stone shoes with cloud-covered heels and cowhide boots. When he appeared in front of everyone again, everyone gave a thumbs up and said: "What a handsome man!"

Jiang Hongfei nodded, then stood up: "Let's go and pick up another hero from prison..."
