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

Fang Baihua gave Fang Jie another hard flick on the forehead.

"Little brat, what do you know?"

"Quickly go and get me a pen and ink."

Fang Jie was given several sharp raps on the forehead by Fang Baihua.

His forehead immediately turned red.

He hurriedly covered his forehead and ran away.

Fang Baihua watched Fang Jie escape.

But then Zhao Yuan appeared before them.

Farewell in Tokyo

They've been separated for six months.

Countless nights, her dreams were filled with that heroic figure and their past memories.

Although the two did not spend much time together.

But it was so beautiful.

Children played carefree by the Liangshan Marsh and in the village.

A scene of two people holding hands while strolling through a night market in Tokyo.

When Zhao Yuan finally escaped Tokyo, he held up the gate with all his might.

There's also the love between the two, on the island in the lake and in Tokyo.

Everything seemed so vivid in my mind.

Thinking of Zhao Yuan,

Fang Baihua then took the small box out of her bosom.

She broke out of Fangla Cave that day.

The only thing I brought was this small box.

Open the box,

Fang Baihua then unwrapped the carefully wrapped cotton cloth.

Then I saw a clay figure covered in cracks.

After each reading, she would carefully wrap it in many layers of cotton cloth.

To prevent it from being damaged by collisions inside the box.

Although it wasn't damaged.

But over time,

The clay figure gradually cracked.

The originally lifelike clay figurines,

It had become covered in cracks by then.

Ugly.

But Fang Baihua still couldn't bear to throw it away.

Simply because Zhao Yuan made it for her.

Even if it turns into a pile of mud,

That was the mud Zhao Yuan had played with.

That holds their shared memories.

After Zhao Yuan and Zhong Shidao reached an agreement,

Zhao Yuan, along with Wu Song and Wang Jin, rode swiftly towards Tokyo.

Lu Zhishen stayed in Weizhou.

Zhao Yuan agreed to send 50,000 troops to support the Northwest.

We cannot use the entire 50,000-strong Tokyo Imperial Guard to make up the numbers.

They had no choice but to send Lu Zhishen and Li Congji, who were left to guard Tokyo, with 20,000 men.

Add to that the 30,000 Imperial Guards of Tokyo,

More than ten days have passed,

The initial reorganization should also be complete.

Although he still couldn't go to the battlefield

However, it should be fine for defending the city.

After all, the Imperial Guards who remained had been training for a long time.

The Western Army is also unable to engage in battle in the short term.

It would be good enough if we could just hold the city.

The military situation in the Northwest is urgent.

Fifty thousand troops will arrive as soon as possible.

Lu Zhishen had to return and immediately lead his troops to the Northwest.

Zhao Yuan simply let him avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth.

Zhao Yuan and his two companions rode at breakneck speed all the way.

They set off before dawn.

I only checked into the inn when it was late at night.

In less than three days,

He then returned to Tokyo.

Before Zhao Yuan returned,

Zhao Yuan and his entourage also traveled day and night to reach Tokyo.

After publicly executing the seven traitors and some corrupt officials,

Then the city gates were opened.

Tokyo had by then returned to its former prosperity.

All the shops on both sides of the street were open for business.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians.

There was no fear or panic that comes with a change of dynasty.

Tokyo was able to recover its prosperity so quickly.

All because of the strict discipline of the Liang army,

After the Liang army entered the city,

Therefore, soldiers were strictly forbidden from harassing the people.

A few clueless thugs took the opportunity to rob and loot.

After being captured by the Liang army, they were all beheaded and their heads displayed to the public.

This immediately intimidated all the restless people in the city.

Chapter 1742 New Tokyo

After Zhao Yuan killed the seven traitors,

Then the city gates were opened.

Most people are unwilling to abandon their families and leave their hometowns.

A few who wanted to leave were afraid of the chaos and unrest outside.

Lost his life

Therefore, very few people move out of Tokyo.

Zhao Yuan and his two companions entered the city.

They then headed straight for the palace.

The guards outside the palace had been replaced by Zhao Yuan's personal soldiers.

Seeing Zhao Yuan return,

He hurriedly straightened his back.

The spear in his hand was also held upright.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuanchong nodded to the guard.

He then led Wu Song and Wang Jin into the palace.

The three of them had just entered the palace.

Then they encountered Xu Ning, who was about to leave the palace.

Xu Ning saw Zhao Yuan and hurried over.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Look at General Xu, so smug!"

"Things in the palace must be going very smoothly."

Before Zhao Yuan went to the Northwest,

Xu Ning was then appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's patronage."

"The Imperial Guards have been fully integrated."

"The most crucial areas are all guarded by the Emperor's former personal guards."

"The Song Dynasty's Imperial Guards, apart from a few elite troops,"

"They've all been transferred to the Imperial Guard and handed over to Instructor Lin."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I trust General Xu to do things right."

The Hall of State Affairs, however, was the place where the prime minister and the vice-minister of state affairs worked.

Right there in the palace,

Zhao Yuan also strolled around the palace a few times back then.

I still have an impression of the Council of State Affairs.

The three had just arrived at the Hall of State Affairs.

Then a eunuch said respectfully,

"Your Majesty, please come inside."

Zhao De used to be a minor steward in the palace.

A few days ago, he was favored by Zhao Yuan.

He became Zhao Yuan's personal eunuch.

He also oversaw all affairs of the imperial palace.

However, the eunuchs of the Great Liang Dynasty no longer possessed the prestige of the Song Dynasty eunuchs.
