Chapter 69 Mediation of Contradictions

Under the light, Song Jiang looked closely at the stones brought by Dai Zong and saw that they were polished with granite, round and smooth, with a very popular chess piece nowadays. They were of the same size and weight as the far-flung chess piece. Song Jiang was quite tempted. This young man had a unique talent. If he could recruit him up the mountain, even if he could not find Hu Cheng, it would not be in vain that they would travel thousands of miles apart.

At this time, Dai Zong was still scared and said, "The other party was very accurate in hitting stones. He hit me twice. Li Heitan probably was hit and fell off the wall."

Ruan Xiaoer beside him said coldly: "He has shown mercy. If he uses a bow and arrow, will you still have life?"

Song Jiang was thinking and silent. He also knew that Li Yanqing had shown mercy. Not to mention bows and arrows, even with flying knives, Dai Zong was either dead or injured. He pondered for a long time and asked, "When is it now?"

"It's already four updates!"

Song Jiang nodded, this matter could not be delayed until dawn. After dawn, the villagers reported to the official and took Li Kui away, and the matter would be in trouble.

He immediately said, "Let's go to Liwen Village!"

The Ruan brothers looked at each other, but they had no choice but to follow Song Jiang.

This time, Song Jiang mainly came to persuade Hu Cheng to join the gang, so he only brought four brothers. Unexpectedly, Hu Cheng did not see him, and a young man named Li Yanqing came out halfway, beating them in a mess. In order to save Li Kui, Song Jiang had to come forward in person and negotiate with Li Yanqing again.

Soon, they rushed to the backyard of Li Yanqing's house. Song Jiang was afraid of a conspiracy on the ground, so he didn't dare to get too close. At this time, Dai Zong suddenly pointed to the roof, "Brother, he is there!"

Song Jiang also saw that he was sitting alone on the roof. Although he was tall, he was not strong enough. He should be Li Yanqing.

He urged him to step forward and shouted, "Li Shaolang, can we talk?"

"What's there to talk about!"

Li Yanqing stood on the roof and said coldly: "You are rushing into private houses and trying to kill and rob. I'm sorry, I look up to you and think you are really doing things for heaven. Now it seems, what is the difference between you and the despicable thieves?"

Ruan Xiaoer was ashamed and wanted to turn around and leave, but Song Jiang was unmoved at all. He was a little surprised. The young man was also well versed in negotiation. He first overwhelmed the other party in the righteousness and gained a psychological advantage, and then bargained.

Song Jiang continued: "We have no malice and do not want to cause trouble. Li Shaolang just said it! Why did he let my brother go?"

"Yes, your brother is in my hands now. If you have sincerity, we can talk. If you have no sincerity, I have to wait for dawn to report to the official."

"I wonder what kind of sincerity Li Shaolang wants?"

Li Yanqing whispered loudly: "I want you to break the arrow and swear that you will leave Xiangzhou immediately after Li Kui is released. You must not harass me again, let alone hurt my family. This is the sincerity I want!"

Song Jiang was immediately embarrassed, and Zhe Jian swears that he was not doing anything so casually. If the people of the world knew that Song Jiang was trapped in the hands of a young man, who would be willing to follow him again? Zhe Jian swears that he could not do.

"Li Shaolang, I can promise you that if you let my people go, I will leave immediately. I will never make things difficult for you and your family. With the Ruan brothers who testify, can you still believe my promise?"

Li Yanqing sneered and said, "I believe you can do it now, but what about a year or two? If you Song Jiang suffer this loss today, will you swallow this? I don't believe in you unless you swear by a sworn!"

Song Jiang didn't expect that the other party was so smart that he could see through his thoughts. He wanted to admit defeat first and send someone to deal with Li Yanqing, but the other party did not give him any loopholes. Song Jiang gradually had murderous intent in his heart. He could break the arrow and swear, but if the people in the world didn't know about this, he could only slaughter the village.

At this moment, a loud voice came from a distance not far away, "How about I be a clerk?"

Song Jiang was shocked. He didn't expect that there was an outsider hidden beside him. He rode his horse and took a few steps back, stared at the darkness and asked, "Who is it?"

Li Yanqing was overjoyed. He heard that the voice was Zhou Tong who had met once in the Spring Club in the afternoon. He thought Zhou Tong had already returned, but he didn't expect him to appear at this time.

I saw a tall and burly figure jumping from a big tree, like a giant bird landing on the ground, silently saying, "I bowed to Zhou Dong, Shaanxi, and I have been lucky enough to meet you!"

Zhou Tong saw Li Yanqing use a sword on the road that day, and he kept thinking about it. Later, he heard that Li Yanqing had won the leader of the Boys Association five years ago, and he became even more interested in Li Yanqing.

At the time of Fengchun Club, he went to Tangyin to visit and walked to Lushan Town. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Li Yanqing and Ruan brothers gambling arrows. Zhou Tong certainly knew about the heroes of Liangshan, so his apprentice Lin Chong was involved in it.

Zhou Tong was really worried, so he hid near Li Yanqing's house and observed secretly, witnessing Li Yanqing defeating Dai Zong with a flying stone and capturing Li Kui alive. It was not until Song Jiang arrived that he finally showed up.

Song Jiang was stunned and asked for a while: "But the Iron Arm King Zhou?"

"The hero dare not be the one, I am Zhou Tong!"

Zhou Tong has lived a long life, and he knew that Li Yanqing could not solve today's problem. In the name of Song Jiang, how could he admit defeat to a country boy? Even if Song Jiang surrendered for a moment, he would definitely take revenge strongly. Only by mediating himself can he help Li Yanqing get rid of this problem.

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "I am willing to be a clerk to mediate today's dispute. Can Song Gongming accept it?"

Of course Song Jiang was willing. With Zhou Tong coming forward, he could keep his reputation and no longer have to turn an arrow to swore. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to accept the mediation of Zhou Daxia!"

Zhou Tong turned around and smiled at Li Yanqing, "Li Shaolang, I am the new county school teacher Zhou, are you willing to give me this face?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Master Zhou came forward, how could Yanqing not follow?"

"Okay! Since both sides accept it, I will be reluctant to do so."

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Please talk first, why is the dispute arising from the scene?"

Song Jiang briefly said the matter of their search for Hu Cheng, and finally said: "Song Jiang and Hu Cheng have no grudges and grudges, they just admire their name and want to invite him to join the gang, but they have no other intentions."

Li Yanqing also said: "Uncle Hu was harassed by Fang La before he fled here. He just wanted to live a peaceful life and was unwilling to intervene in disputes in the world again."

Zhou Tong was secretly surprised. It turned out that Hu Cheng, the famous iron hand, was hiding here. No wonder! Zhou Tong glanced at Li Yanqing, and then he understood why Li Yanqing was so skillful at a young age. It turned out that he had been taught by Hu Cheng.

Zhou Tong smiled again and said, "It turned out to be for Hu Cheng. I had a relationship with this person. He is indeed a generous man with extremely high martial arts skills. If you are not inferior to me, Li Shaolang must know his whereabouts!"

Li Yanqing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I do know!"

"Since that's the case, I'll come up with two compromises. First, Brother Song's subordinates broke into a private house at night, and were rude first. Li Shaolang's counterattack was understandable. Li Shaolang released the person, and Brother Song promised not to pursue the matter again. If the matter was settled, can both parties agree?"

Song Jiang said happily, "I can't refuse the face of Mr. Zhou, I agree!"

Li Yanqing originally didn't believe in Song Jiang, but with Zhou Tong here, he would not dare to offend Song Jiang easily. He also agreed: "I can let him go!"

Seeing that both of them agreed, Zhou Tong said again: "Brother Song wants to see Hu Cheng, but Li Shaolang doesn't want outsiders to disturb him. It's really difficult to deal with it. Let's do this! Li Shaolang told me about Hu Cheng's hiding place. Brother Song wrote another letter, and I worked hard to send this letter to Hu Cheng. Li Shaolang did not go against morality, and Brother Song also had the opportunity to attract talents. As for whether Hu Cheng is willing to join, that is his personal decision. What do you think?"

This plan is very wonderful. After an accident tonight, Song Jiang didn't expect to continue to recruit Hu Cheng, but Zhou Tong gave him another chance. Of course he was willing. As long as he spoke sincerely in the letter, Hu Cheng might not be moved, and he agreed immediately.

Zhou Tong asked Li Yanqing again, "Is the young man willing?"

Li Yanqing shook his head firmly, "I'm sorry, I won't tell anyone about Uncle Hu's whereabouts."

Zhou Tong was stunned, looked at Li Yanqing for a moment, and had to smile bitterly and said, "Okay! I'll find another way to inquire!"

Zhou Tong said to Song Jiang again: "I promise to deliver the letter to Hu Cheng. Song Gongming can go back to the inn to write a letter first. I will send the hostages back later."

Seeing that Li Yanqing was determined not to betray Hu Cheng, Song Jiang admired his character, so he nodded and shouted to Dai Zong and Ruan brothers: "Let's go!"

The four of them rode their horses and soon disappeared deep in the woods. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Li Shaolang, let's talk!"
