Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Chapter 1233 Arrangements

"OK,"

Ruan Xiaowu immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, brother,"

"I will definitely find out everything about Moon Lake."

"We must not let anything go wrong on the day of the Green Forest Alliance."

...

Ruan Xiaowu went to be with Ye Chun.

They went to the shipyard owners to discuss purchasing ocean-going vessels and timber.

Zhao Yuan stayed in the courtyard for a while.

After thinking for a while, he decided to hold a gathering of outlaws at Wanghailou.

Then he sent someone to summon Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun.

"Brother, is something the matter?"

Ruan Xiaoer asked,

"Yes, you'll come out with me."

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Let's go to Wanghailou and have a chat with the Pang siblings,"

Having said that,

He looked at Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun with a puzzled expression.

The two people were soaking wet from head to toe.

It looked like they had just climbed out of the water.

"Did you two just come out of the water?"

"Um,"

Zhang Shun nodded.

"My second brother Ruan and I went swimming in Moon Lake ourselves."

"Brother, the lake is at least ten zhang deep,"

"From that estuary all the way to here,"

"We didn't find any rocks blocking the way."

"It's so cold, you're still going into the water like this. Be careful not to catch a cold,"

Zhao Yuan could only smile wryly.

“I didn’t hand this matter over to Fifth Brother,”

"You made him make a trip to escort the ship, didn't you?"

"Why do you have to go into the water yourselves?"

"How can we be at ease if we don't personally go into the water ourselves?"

Ruan Xiaoer laughed,

"Besides, the South is much warmer than the North,"

“Back in Shandong, we went into the water every day during the dead of winter,”

"The weather in the south is so warm,"

"Going into the water is nothing to worry about."

"By the way, brother, what are we going to do with the Pang siblings?" Zhang Shun asked, puzzled.

"Although Pang Wanchun seemed unwilling to submit to the Ming Cult while he was in Siming Mountain,"

Zhao Yuan said,

“But he has his sister to hold him back,”

"When the day truly comes that the Ming Cult sends troops to besiege Wanghailou,"

"If the Ming Cult threatens his sister's life,"

"There is a high chance that Pang Wanchun will choose to join the Ming Cult."

"So, where do we go now...?"

Ruan Xiaoer asked, puzzled.

"Give him a heads-up, let him know that joining the Ming Cult isn't the only path he can take in the future,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"That way, he'll take the lead when the time comes,"

"This always saved more outlaws from Jiangnan."

.....

After Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun dried themselves off,

Zhao Yuan brought two men and several personal guards with him.

We arrived at Wanghailou again.

We found a private room and sat down.

Zhang Shun went to the shop assistants to inquire about the whereabouts of Pang Wanchun and his sister.

quickly,

He then led the Pang siblings into the private room.

"Master Zhao, do you need something from us?"

Pang Wanchun cupped his hands in greeting.

He sat down on the left with a puzzled expression.

"What brings you here, sir?"

"It's about what Xie Fu, the dragon who played with the pearl, mentioned last time,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"It's almost time,"

"I wonder if Chief Pang has come up with a solution?"

"Are you prepared to rise up in resistance, or to obediently surrender and join the Ming Cult...?"

Chapter 1234 Can the Ming Cult succeed?

"this....."

Pang Wanchun frowned.

There was no immediate response.

Judging from his reaction,

Zhao Yuan immediately understood.

This little Yang Youji,

It wasn't as it appeared on the surface.

We will fight the Ming Cult to the very end!

Why are you asking this?

Pang Qiuyan, standing nearby, frowned and said...

"What decision is my older brother going to make?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Logically speaking, it really has nothing to do with me,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"But we have known each other after all,"

"So I don't want that either,"

"The two of you humbled yourselves and joined the Ming Cult just like that."

"Humph,"

Pang Qiuyan snorted coldly.

"The Ming Cult is currently the largest power in Jiangnan,"

"The number of people who believe in the Ming Cult is over a million."

"In the future, this world might belong to the Ming Cult,"

"If my brother and I were to join the Ming Cult,"

"Perhaps he will become a high-ranking official in the future."

"The Ming Cult is doomed to fail."

Zhao Yuan shook his head decisively.

"you....."

Pang Qiuyan was about to retort immediately,

Pang Wanchun, who was standing nearby, pulled her up.

Then, looking at Zhao Yuan with a puzzled expression, he asked...

"Master Zhao, I don't understand why you are so certain,"

"Then the Ming Cult can't succeed?"

"Throughout history, there have been instances of rebellion using religion,"

Zhao Yuan explained with a smile,

"Like Zhang Jiao at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun En and Lu Xun at the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Chen Shuozhen at the Tang Dynasty..."

Who are these people?

Pang Qiuyan blinked.

His face was full of confusion.

Zhao Yuan glanced at Pang Wanchun beside him.

He had a similar expression.

Then I remembered,

This is not the future.

This is an era in which basic education has become widespread.

Among the leaders of Liangshan,

Illiteracy accounts for the vast majority.

Although Zhao Yuan ordered them to learn some basic reading and writing from the teacher at the school.

But that's about it.

But what about the Pang siblings, who have fallen into banditry?
