Fortune-telling at Fuqiao Palace

In the Water Margin, Liangshan heroes demanded the return of Fang La. Yanqing went to see Lu Junyi privately, and advised him to retire quickly and remain anonymous for the rest of his life. Lu Junyi refused. Yanqing remonstrated with Emperor Gaozu about killing the hero, but Lu Junyi refused. He had to leave Lu Junyi, left a book for Song Jiang and left the army that night. From then on, the whereabouts are unknown. In fact, Yan Qing was prescient. Sure enough, Lu Junyi was soon killed by traitors, swallowed mercury and died in the water. This ending is really sad. What if Yanqing didn't follow Lu Junyi? Will it be poisoned together?

Yan Qing, a native of Beijing Daming Mansion, was raised by the Lujia family after his parents died at an early age. He is Lu Junyi's confidant servant. He is full of embroidery, good at using crossbows, proficient in sumo, skilled in martial arts, versatile, able to play, sing and jump, and can do anything in any place. Yan Qing is resourceful and versatile. He is actually more far-sighted than his master. In those days, Wu Yong pretended to be a fortune teller, and hung out among Rufu, telling Lu Junyi fortune, saying that if there was a mass annihilation, he would have to flee to the southeast.

Lu Junyi was convinced that he would take Gu Li, the housekeeper, to Taian to do business, so as not to get into trouble, leaving Yanqing to look after the warehouse at home. Yan Qing strongly discouraged him from going to Tai 'an, thinking that it was unsafe to take the water margin. He also pointed out that the fortune teller must be the middleman of Liangshan, trying to trick Lu Junyi into going up the mountain. Lu Junyi wouldn't listen. Yanqing wanted to go with him again, but Lu Junyi refused. It can be seen that Yan Qing is far-sighted than his master.

Later, Coulee reported to the government that Lu Junyi was colluding with the rebels and was going to attack Daming House from the inside. Liang Zhongshu ordered the arrest of Lu Junyi, tortured him and put him on death row. Entrusted by Chai Jin, the Cai Fu brothers spent a lot of money to get through the joints, and finally changed Lu Junyi from capital crime to stabbing death. Dong Chao and Xue Ba, officers, were bribed to kill Lu Junyi on the way to assassination, and were shot from behind by Yan Qing. Yanqing saved Lu Junyi and went to the water margin behind his back. While resting in the inn, Yanqing went out to play game, only to find that Lu Junyi was captured by the pursuing loyalist. It can be seen that Yan Qing was loyal to his master, and later saved people from danger many times.

After Liangshan was embraced, Yan Qing and Sung River fought in the civil war and were under the command of Lu Junyi. When conquering Wang Qing, Yan Qing admonished Lu Junyi before the Battle of Longmen Pass, telling him not to get cold feet face to face. After being rejected, he dispatched 500 infantry, cut down trees near Pingquan Bridge and built a pontoon bridge. Lu Junyi was defeated, and Pingquan Bridge was washed away by the disorderly army. Thanks to the pontoon bridge built by Yan Qing, the army was saved. It can be seen that thanks to Yan Qing, Lu Junyi, a loyal subordinate, escaped safely and set a new record.

Yan Qing, the prodigal son, was loyal to Lu Junyi all his life, but why did he choose to leave his most respected master when he pacified Fang La and returned to Korea successfully? The answer is that Yan Qing already has a bad feeling. Judging from Yan Qing's previous performance, his feelings are mostly right. This time will be no exception. If he doesn't leave, he will probably die with his master. It's just a matter of time.

Some people say that a smart man like Yan Qing can't save his master at the critical moment? Yes, but can you save it twice or three times once? Can you prevent the bad guys from breaking the injury once, and can you prevent the second time and three times? So Yan Qing's final choice is very correct. If he doesn't leave, there will be no good result. Either poisoned or assassinated.

In fact, Lu Junyi should be able to anticipate his own ending. It's just that he has too many things to let go of, fame and fortune, from obscurity to poverty. Yan Qing, on the other hand, has nothing, so he can put everything down and start a new life. What about you? Would you rather be like Lu Junyi or Yan Qing? I believe everyone has an answer in their hearts.
