As a standard post-80s, Sun Tu had read a variety of Water Margin-related books and film and television books when he was a child, and he was naturally dear to the characters, locations and stories.

He had known that this was Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, and knew that it was the period of the Great Song Zhenghe, but he never combined the history of this place with the characters in the Water Margin. Because in Sun Tu's mind, the Water Margin story is only a fictional or a world created by the author, which is quite different from the real history of the Song Dynasty. And the time he was in was indeed the Great Song Dynasty in history, so how could it have anything to do with the main characters in the Water Margin?

But now, this point of view has been shattered by the facts. The person in front of you is actually the absolute protagonist in the Water Margin— Song Jiang or Song Gong Ming! This was too far from his expectations, and he didn't know how to respond. Perhaps the only explanation was the same name and last name.

But is there such a coincidence? In Yuncheng County, there is an escort named Song Jiang? Moreover, his short black appearance is not too different from the description in the book, which makes him really unable to convince himself.

"Why, don't you think that Song is an impostor?" Although he was called by his name, Song Jiang was not annoyed, but looked at Sun Tu and asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I just didn't expect to see the you here. I really have admired you for a long time..." Sun Tu hurriedly put his hand to explain. This is true. He has known that Song Jiang was famous for a long time.

At this moment, there was a burst of hearty laughter behind him: "Haha, it is naturally impossible for Constable Song to be a fake, I can testify to this!"

Sun Tu turned his head subconsciously and saw that one of the guests at the table that had not been affected by Old Man Hu has gotten up and walked over. This person is quite tall, burly in size, and does not feel small in his aura. Even though he just walked forth like this, his movements brought along with it, a breeze, making Yu Xiaohe who was beside him subconsciously step aside.

When Song Jiang heard the voice and saw the incoming person, he couldn't help but laugh

"It turns out that Chao Bao is here. This is a rare occasion."

"Hehe, I have always liked a good wine. I heard that there are fine wines here, so I naturally came here from Dongxi Village to try it. It sounds like this trip was worth it. Not only did I taste this good wine, but I also saw Sun Tu. This young hero is really worth the trip!" This man sat in front of Song Jiang as he spoke and treated the situation as if he was not an outsider.

Dongxi Village, Chao Bao Zheng... Sun Tu's mind is spinning again. If he is right, the identity of the big man in front of him is not up for speculation. He is the second-generation leader of Liangshan, known as the King of Tota!

If he said that he still had doubts before, now, he can be sure that there are indeed Water Margin figures in his era. He just doesn't know if the more famous and capable people are there, and whether the thrilling stories will happen one by one as described in the story.

At the same time, he was finally clear about the exact timeframe. As long as it is written in the book, it is now the era of Song Huizong — of course, he cannot be called Emperor Huizong now, because it is the name of the temple — maybe it won’t be long before this Northern Song dynasty longed for by countless scholars and scholars will usher into destruction.

Although there were many thoughts in his heart, Sun Tu quickly regained his composure and hurriedly greeted the two again. "The two heroes are mocking me. The immature me is just embarrassed. I do not dare to call myself a hero. If you really want to talk about heroes, you should treat them as two things."

"Haha, you are also interesting. No one really calls Constable Song a hero like that."

I've heard that Constable Song stands for justice and righteousness, and is not by tempted by money over justice. If this is not a hero, who else would dare to be a hero in this world?" Sun Tu hurriedly said.

These words prompted Song Jiang to laugh for a while. "Sun Tu, you don't have to flatter me like that. Don't worry, what I just gave is my word, and your inn will never be disturbed again. But..." Speaking of this, he paused for a while before his expression solemnly said: "There is one thing you have to understand. Doing business in this world is not something that one family can do. It is better to have fewer enemies. Especially with Zhang Chuan. If you really embarrass the rich families in Yuncheng County, I am afraid I will not be able to help you.

Sun Tu nodded clearly and said, "Thank you for the pointer, I understand what I need to do. In fact, this played out like this of the eagerness to make money and repay the debt. Now that the debt is paid off, there will be room for compromise. "

"That's the best." Song Jiang glanced at Sun Tu approvingly, which made him more happy than just discovering that he could defeat Zhang Chuan and the others by himself.

When Chao Bao saw this, he smiled again, and he pulled Song Jiang to his table: "Constable, when the business is over, then come and taste the wine from the Sun's Inn. I promise that the wine here will not disappoint you. ."

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaohe hurriedly gave them a bottle of wine again. Song Jiang, curious, poured a bowl of wine, only took a sip, and then nodded in praise.

"It's really a rare and good wine, no wonder..." No wonder the business of other inns has plummeted recently, but he didn't say that. That was too straightforward.

Sun Tu hurriedly stepped forward and said a few more words of flattery, and had a bowl of wine with him as they chatted. This scene was observed in the eyes of the people outside, which made everyone feel different as they gazed at the small inn of the Sun's.

After drinking a few bowls with Chao Bao, Song Jiang got up and left under the pretext that there was still something in the county office. Afterwards, Chao brought his companions to pay for the drinks and walked away. Before leaving, he kindly patted Sun Tu on the shoulder, as if he meant to befriend him.

Sun Tu watched the two of them leave, and after a long while he breathed out slowly, muttering: "Heroes of Shandong, the name of Song Jiang is not a fluke."

From the other party's words and deeds, he can already make a judgment. Song Jiang came to know that Zhang Chuan and others wanted to come here to find trouble early in the morning. But after doing Sun a favor, he also reminded Sun Tu not to think about monopolizing the hotel business in the city. It can be said that this advice meant everything.

No wonder that Song Jiang was able to be renowned later, so that so many heroes and heroes would respect and admire him, this person is really extraordinary. In contrast, Sun Tu acted too hastily.After all, he was just a young man who has no power and no backing...
