Water Margin: Hu Sanniang and I swapped clothes

What Dai Zong said was a little complicated.

Li Kui didn't quite understand, but he knew he must be wrong.

Especially when Dai Zong accused Song Jiang of wrongdoing, Li Kui hurriedly banged his head against the ground repeatedly, apologizing profusely.

"Tie Niu knows he was wrong! He knows he was wrong!"

"Alright, Tie Niu!"

Seeing that Li Kui's face was covered in dust and he seemed very sincere in his kowtow, Song Jiang knelt down and held Li Kui's large head in his hands.

"You are my trusted brother!"

"No matter what you did wrong, I, as your older brother, will definitely protect you!"

"But you must think more carefully before you act in the future..."

With Big Head held in Song Jiang's arms, Li Kui felt a surge of warmth in his heart and wrapped his arms around Song Jiang's waist as well.

"Brother, but sometimes Tie Niu just can't understand..."

"That's easy!"

Dai Zong offered a friendly reminder: "If you can't figure it out, just watch your brother's expression!"

"Wow!"

Li Kui suddenly realized: "From now on, I only need to follow my brother's lead, and Tie Niu will never make a mistake again!"

Song Jiang and Dai Zong exchanged a smile.

Li Kui raised his head, his bull-like eyes wide as he observed Song Jiang's expression:

"Brother, do you still want to marry that shrew?"

"You black bastard! Still spouting nonsense!"

Song Jiang was speechless; this dark-skinned fellow was incredibly stubborn.

"Am I, Song Jiang, a man who lusts after beautiful women?"

"I've already said I have my reasons for this!"

Li Kui, without any hesitation, pressed for an explanation:

"What's the reasoning behind that?"

Fortunately, Song Jiang had already come up with an excuse last night, otherwise Li Kui would have really stumped him.

Song Jiang then briefly recounted his past affair of stopping Wang Ai Hu from taking Liu Zhizhai's wife:

"...'Jinmaohu' Yan Shun couldn't stand it anymore and cleaved the shrew in two with a single stroke!"

"Wang Ai Hu wanted to marry Yan Shun, but I persuaded him to stop and promised to find him a better wife in the future to satisfy him."

"I've kept this in mind, but I haven't met the right person yet."

"Yesterday I saw that Hu Sanniang was beautiful, so I thought of betrothing her to Wang Ai Hu, which would put my mind at ease..."

"I see!"

Li Kui's large, dark face turned bright red:

"Tie Niu misunderstood you, brother. Please forgive him!"

"Brother Song Jiang is a loyal and righteous man who doesn't get close to women. What kind of person do you take him for?"

Hua Rong, nicknamed "Little Li Guang," coldly interjected:

"Remember the mistake you made today, and don't misunderstand your brother again!"

"Otherwise, I'll spare you, but Hua Rong's arrows won't!"

"Never mind, never mind."

Song Jiang patted Li Kui's big head generously:

"Tie Niu, it's right that you're hostile towards Hu Sanniang."

"Hu Sanniang is unruly and rebellious. Although she was forced to join Liangshan Marsh last night, she will inevitably cause trouble in the future..."

"She dares!"

Li Kui's eyes widened: "Tie Niu's axe is no joke!"

"No rush."

Song Jiang patted Li Kui's big head again, and the bristling Li Kui immediately became obedient:

"Hu Sanniang has made a great contribution today. If she behaves herself honestly and obediently from now on, Liangshan will not be unable to tolerate her."

"If she harbors ulterior motives and rebels, then it won't be too late for you to take action, Tie Niu."

"Don't worry, brother!"

Li Kui's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "She dares to disobey her brother's orders, Tie Niu will chop her up!"

Song Jiang smiled with satisfaction. At this moment, Song Jiang saw that Hu Cheng, Yang Xiong, and Shi Xiu had rescued the person.

"Dean Dai, I'm entrusting Tie Niu to you!"

Song Jiang quickly handed Li Kui, whom he was carrying, to Dai Zong:

"I'll be right back!"

……

Led by Hu Cheng, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, and the others rescued Qin Ming, Wang Ai Hu, and others who had been captured.

As Shi Xiu walked, he said, "Thanks to my third sister's plan, we were able to break through the Zhu Family Village and rescue you..."

A handsome man with a big head, big ears, a big nose, a big mouth, and clear features asked curiously:

"Wait a minute! Brother Shi Xiu, aren't you two sworn brothers?"

"Where did the third sister come from?"

"This is a long story..."

Shi Xiu had just started when a short, chubby, dark-skinned boy pounced on him with lightning speed.

Holding "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming in his left arm and "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying in his right, the chubby little man said with tears in his eyes:

"Brothers, Song Jiang is incompetent, causing you all to suffer!"

After saying this, the chubby little man released Qin Ming and Wang Ying, took a step back, and bowed deeply to the captured heroes.

"Brother Song Jiang..."

Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Yang Lin, Deng Fei, and Wang Ai Hu hurriedly bowed to him.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Shi Xiu's eyes:

My third sister outsmarted the Zhu Family Village, and you're here singing and dancing!

Anyone who didn't know better would think you conquered the Zhu Family Village!

But you can't really say that, since Song Jiang was the commander-in-chief. You can only say that the commander-in-chief was a good leader.

After exchanging pleasantries with Qin Ming and the others, Song Jiang counted their heads:

"One brother is still missing?"

"Brother Song Jiang, your humble servant, 'The Flea on the Drum,' Shi Qian, is here!"

Just then, a lewd voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd, and a large black rat squeezed forward.

Upon closer inspection, Song Jiang saw that it was a small, dark-skinned man with a rat-like head, rat-like eyes, a pointed mouth, and monkey-like cheeks.

Judging people by their appearance is an age-old phenomenon, and Song Jiang felt an immediate and involuntary disgust upon seeing the large black rat.

I have never seen such a filthy and despicable person!

In addition, it was already known that Shi Qian was a thief, and the Battle of Zhujiazhuang was also caused by Shi Qian stealing chickens...

Song Jiang had absolutely no goodwill towards Shi Qian, only disgust.

In the original story, Shi Qian, nicknamed "The Flea on the Drum," made great contributions, but he was ranked 107th among the 108 heroes.

This is because he is so unlikable—his background is unlikable, his appearance is unlikable, and his words and actions are unlikable…

If it weren't for Duan Jingzhu, the "golden-haired dog" who caused Chao Gai's death, he would definitely be ranked 108th.

Song Jiang was very good at dealing with people. Even though he disliked Shi Qian, he smiled and helped Shi Qian up with both hands.

"Brother Shiqian, you've suffered!"

He thought he had done a good job, but don't forget that Shi Qian was a thief.

Thieves have the sharpest eyes.

Shi Qian keenly caught the fleeting look of disgust in Song Jiang's eyes, and also keenly sensed Song Jiang's perfunctory gesture of helping him up.

At that moment, Shi Qian felt a chill run down his spine.

But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to hold it in.

At this moment, Sun Xin arrived, and Shi Xiu immediately introduced him to Qin Ming and the others:

"Brothers, this is my third sister!"

"She is the eldest daughter of the Hu family manor, known in the martial arts world as 'One-Zhang-Qing' Hu Sanniang!"

What a magnificent "One-Zhang-Qing"!

Whether they were lustful or not, Qin Ming and Wang Ai Hu were both amazed by Sun Xin's beauty.

It's not just because Sun Xin is incredibly beautiful, but also because of her amazingly long legs!

Especially for the short-statured Wang Ai Hu and Shi Qian, Sun Xin's legs were longer than their lives!

Qin Ming and the others quickly thanked Sun Xin, but Wang Ai Hu, blinded by lust, flirted with Sun Xin:

"Young lady, you captured me yesterday, and you saved me today. It seems we are truly destined to be together!"
