I am in Water Margin, I, Ximen Qing, stir-fry Pan Jinlian

During the Song Dynasty, the gambling trend swept the whole society. From the royal nobles to the common people, everyone was addicted to the excitement of betting and guessing, and the people of Yanggu County were not immune.

On Tianshui Street in the north of the county, between a row of hook-and-mortar houses, there is a well-known casino. It has become a popular place for county residents to have fun and entertainment, and it is also a place where local gangsters like to gather.

Ximen Qing walked through the busy streets and finally arrived in front of the casino.

As soon as the few idle boys guarding the door saw Ximen Qing, they immediately bowed with smiles and said:"Master, you are such a distinguished guest. It's been a long time. I haven't seen you for a long time! I've been waiting here for a long time. I wonder what the official's orders are?"

Ximen Qing said. He was no stranger to these boys. He waved his hand casually and asked one of them, Li Er,"Li Er, I want to find Lu Xiaoyi. Is he there? I need his help with something. Go call him out"

"Sir, Lu Xiaoyi is playing dice inside. I'll go find him right now. Officer, please wait a moment, I'll be back soon."Li Er agreed and immediately ran into the casino to look for the person.

Not long after, he saw a burly young man, wearing a black cotton robe and flowers on his head, with a fair face, a short beard, about eight feet tall, following him. Li Er quickly walked out of the casino behind him. This person was Lu Xiaoyi, a famous gangster in Yanggu County with"Flower Arms".

In Yanggu County, Lu Xiaoyi was affectionately called"Flower Arm" by everyone because of the bright peony embroidery tattooed on his arms."Flower Arm".

This"Flower Arm" is not only a decorator with patterns on his arms, but he is also proficient in using guns and sticks. He has a group of more than 20 ruffians under his command, who often cause trouble in the county and engage in cattle killing and gambling. And other activities, as a livelihood.

In this county,"Flower Arm" Lu Xiaoyi is like a little bully, and ordinary people are unwilling to provoke him.

But in the city, Lu Xiaoyi, a rogue, is only afraid of Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing is not only good at martial arts Gao Qiang handles public affairs in Yanggu County. He is good at manipulating power, taking bribes, and framing officials. He is a big brother who can handle both black and white. In the gangster industry, Ximen Qing's status is enough to make Lu Xiaoyi daunted.

However , , since Wu Song came to Yanggu County, served as the head of the capital, and punished the troublemakers on the streets several times, Lu Xiaoyi had another person who kept him at arm's length. During his days in

Wu Dutou, Lu Xiaoyi became law-abiding, He no longer acted recklessly and made trouble in the street, but spent all day in gambling houses, and his life was far less prosperous than before.

On this day, Lu Xiaoyi walked quickly to Ximen Qing with a smile on his face, and bowed deeply. He bowed and asked respectfully:"Hello, Sir! Is there anything that needs to be done by the villain? Ximen Qing shook Lu Xiaoyi's hand enthusiastically, with a sly smile on his lips:"Brother Xiaoyi, I have something important that I need your help with." Let's go to the restaurant under Lion Bridge and chat while drinking."

Lu Xiaoyi, a gangster in the county, has long heard about Ximen Qing's entanglements with Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang.

Faced with Ximen Qing's sudden politeness, he couldn't help but wonder, is he asking me to deal with Wu Song?

Thinking of Ximen Qing and Wu Song. He was a well-known ruthless character in the city. He was very worried. If something went wrong, it would be no joke.

Although he was worried in his heart, Lu Xiaoyi remained calm on the surface and responded respectfully:"The official is too polite. , the villain obeys."With that said, he followed Ximen Qing and walked to the Lion Bridge Restaurant together.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Ximen Qing led Lu Xiaoyi up to the second floor, chose an elegant dining room, ordered a table of delicacies, and ordered a few pots to be served. Excellent wine.

Ximen Qing did not rush to explain the purpose of meeting Lu Xiaoyi, but just chatted with him while drinking. For a while, the two glasses clashed, and time passed quietly.

Lu Xiaoyi has a straightforward personality, and he and Ximen Qing became close friends after drinking. He was in a good mood and had long forgotten his worries. They were brothers and the atmosphere was warm.

After a few bottles of wine, Lu Xiaoyi's face turned red and his mood was high. He slapped the table and said loudly:"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Bar! I, Lu Xiaoyi, am also a cheerful person. As long as my brother says a word, I will do it immediately!"

Ximen Qing gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, with a smile on his face, and looked at Lu Xiaoyi and said:"Brother Xiaoyi, have you ever heard that a ferocious insect appeared on Jingyang Hill? Its power is extraordinary. My brother intends to go there to get rid of this pest. I wonder if I have the courage to go with my brother?"

When Lu Xiaoyi heard this, he immediately took off his cotton robe, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and tattooed arms, and proudly said to Ximen Qing:"Brother Qing, look, I, Lu Xiaoyi, am not a fuel-efficient lamp either! Wu Er can fight the big bug in Jingyanggang, why can't I? If Brother Qing decides to go fight against giant insects, be sure to let me go with him!

Ximen Qing laughed loudly:"Good brothers, let's drink this first!" In fact, there are no big insects on Jingyanggang, I am just joking with you. If there really is a big insect, my brother will definitely let you take action and make you famous! Come on, drink!"

After the two had a few more drinks, Ximen Qing took out fifty taels of silver from his arms, put it on the table in front of Lu Xiaoyi, and said with a smile:"Brother Xiaoyi, how can I let you do such a dangerous thing? thing? Brother Wei knows that you have a group of like-minded brothers, and I hope you can help find some heroes for Brother Wei.

Is this difficult for you?

You should first take this money and distribute it among your brothers as travel expenses. When it's done, I'll be very grateful to my brother!"
