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

In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of them.

The man on horseback jumped to the ground, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...

"Greetings, Your Majesty, General Dong, and General Hua."

The newcomer had red hair and a yellow beard.

It was Duan Jingzhu, a golden retriever.

The horse that rode in was pure white.

Not a single stray hair was present.

It is one zhang long from head to tail.

The hoof to the spine is eight feet high.

Zhao Yuan also jumped off his horse and laughed.

"It's been a long time! How have you been?"

Duan Jingzhu watched Zhao Yuan dismount and speak.

Somewhat flattered, he quickly replied,

"This humble man travels frequently in the northern lands,"

There is no danger in traveling between the two countries.

Zhao Yuan saw that Duan Jingzhu was soaking wet.

"You swam across the river, didn't you?"

"Let's mount up, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Duan Jingzhu nodded and said, "The Liao people are keeping a close watch around the pontoon bridge."

"It can only come from other places."

"Your Majesty, ride this horse,"

“This is something I specifically stole to present to the king.”

"It was originally the mount of the Liao emperor,"

“The servants went out of the camp to let the horses graze, and I snatched them away.”

"This horse is a famous horse from the Western Regions,"

"Able to travel a thousand miles a day,"

"Because it has hair around its neck like a male lion,"

Therefore, it was named the Jade Lion Horse that Shines Through the Night.

Zhao Yuan had long been eyeing it with envy.

Hearing this, he smiled and said,

"Then I won't be polite."

Even as a cub, the Jade Lion Horse was known for its fierce temperament.

However, they will be driven out of the herd when they grow up.

Their temperament will become much more docile.

However, Zhao Yuan suddenly mounted his horse.

It was still restless, jumping back and forth.

He wanted to throw Zhao Yuan off the cliff.

Zhao Yuan has ridden countless spirited horses over the years.

Squeeze your legs together forcefully.

The Jade Lion Horse, feeling pain, calmed down.

Duan Jingzhu saw that the king was using violent horse-taming methods again.

He couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

He was skilled at judging and training horses.

Naturally, he is also a horse lover.

He was particularly fond of this jade lion that shone through the night.

However, he also knew that this horse would be of greater use to the king.

That's why I had to reluctantly part with it.

Riding on the Jade Lion Horse Shining at Night

He was noticeably taller than Zhang Qing and the others.

Zhao Yuan also wanted to try out the horse.

He gave the horse's flank a light kick and said, "Giddy up!"

The jade lion and horse, illuminated by the night, seemed to understand.

Immediately take off running!

Seeing that the owner did not stop them,

It then continued to accelerate.

Chapter 1782 Outside Xiongzhou City

At first, Zhang Qing, Hua Rong, and Duan Jingzhu were able to keep up.

But soon the king disappeared from sight.

Speeding like lightning

Zhao Yuan only had this one feeling.

Although the wind made it hard for him to open his eyes,

However, he still let the Jade Lion Horse gallop freely.

This is the real BMW.

But only a moment later...

Zhao Yuan then arrived outside Xiongzhou City.

The soldiers on the city wall saw a white horse galloping towards them.

While still considering whether to issue a warning,

The warhorses were already stopped at the city gate.

The soldiers at the city gate saw that it was the King.

They all straightened their chests and greeted him.

However, his peripheral vision was constantly drawn to Zhao Yuan's magnificent Jade Lion Horse.

Zhao Yuan was not in a hurry to enter the city.

When Zhang Qing and the other two came up,

They then headed to the military camp together.

Hua Rong and Zhang Qing looked at Zhao Yuan's jade lion with envy.

For military generals,

BMWs, armor, and weapons are always what they pursue.

However, Zhao Yuan was powerless to help him with this.

He finally managed to get this precious horse after a lot of trouble.

Naturally, they wouldn't let it go.

Zhao Yuan recalled where the horse had come from.

"Has the Liao emperor gone south?"

Duan Jingzhu nodded and said,

"The Liao emperor is going to personally lead the expedition,"

"He led five thousand cavalry south,"

"We should arrive at the Baigouhe camp in a day or two."

Upon hearing that the Liao emperor had arrived, Zhang Qing was intrigued and said...

"Your Majesty, we have launched a surprise attack and killed the Liao Emperor!"

"Wouldn't that make it easy to defeat the Liao Kingdom?"

Although Zhang Qing couldn't perform the legendary feat of taking the head of a general from a million-strong army as easily as taking something out of a bag...

But he was also a skilled fighter in battle.

If one were to form a sharp blade with oneself as the leader...

It is highly likely that they would directly penetrate into the Liao army's ranks and kill the Liao emperor.

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said,

"The Liao Dynasty is already in its twilight years,"

"The Jin state is showing signs of sweeping away the fallen leaves like autumn winds."

"If we kill the Liao emperor,"

"I fear this will cause internal strife within the Liao Dynasty,"

"Let the Jin Kingdom reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

"The Jurchens are tyrannical, and we still need the Liao people to help us resist the Jurchens for the time being."

Zhang Qing said, "Are we really going to have to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "No, the cost of a decisive battle with the Liao people would be too high."

"We just need to scare them into submission. We'll talk about it back at camp."

Then there's the Liao Kingdom's Baigou River camp.

Yelü Dezhong had already cleared away all the weeds along the way.

Sprinkle water on top to prevent dust from flying around.

The Imperial Brother, Prince Yelü Dezhong, had sent his four sons to welcome Emperor Yelü Yanxi well in advance.

Hearing that one of the emperor's warhorses had been stolen...

They dared not be negligent.

He led the camp's generals out ten miles to greet them.

Yelü Yanxi indeed had a dark expression on his face.

He enjoys hunting.

There are also several thoroughbred horses.

However, the Jade Lion Horse was still his favorite.

Therefore, the guards had to let the horses out to graze every day.

Let the horse run free for a while.

Unexpectedly, it was robbed within the territory of the Liao Kingdom.

This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him.

The emperor's horse,
