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

Why did he let me leave so easily?

Am I not important to Liangshan at all?

......

Liu Huiniang couldn't help but have one question after another pop into her mind.

This is clearly another episode of paranoia.

"Alright, you can rest here tonight,"

Zhao Yuan said it casually.

"what?"

Liu Huiniang instinctively took a step back, quickly covering her neckline with her hands, and said with a surprised and uncertain expression,

"Chieftain, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"I'm going to rest in Jiao Ting's cabin,"

Zhao Yuan said irritably, "Why don't you go over there?"

Liu Huiniang quickly shook her head.

On this passenger ship, only Zhao Yuan's cabin was a single room, and it was even reasonably spacious.

The other cabins are all shared by two or three people.

And because the people living there were all men who didn't care about details,

The smell was incredibly strange; Liu Huiniang felt nauseous just from passing by it these past two nights, let alone going inside.

......

Zhao Yuan walked out of the cabin, just about to go find Jiao Ting,

Then I heard a noise around the corner.

“Come out, everyone,” he shouted.

Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, and Li Kui walked out one by one, and the last person was actually Shi Xiu!

"You guys really have nothing better to do?"

Zhao Yuan said unhappily, "You've come here to eavesdrop?"

"Brother, don't be offended. We brothers are just afraid that you'll be drained dry by that female demon," Li Kui said innocently.

"What female demon! The person inside is Ah Xiu!"

Zhao Yuan explained, "She also sneaked onto the ship. The commotion the soldiers heard these past two days, and the missing food from the kitchen, were all her doing!"

"So it's Lady Liu,"

Shi Xiu suddenly realized, "No wonder that voice sounded familiar just now."

"Huh? That was her just now?"

Li Kui's eyes widened immediately, and he glared at Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi with displeasure.

"If you are that little girl from the Liu family, why did you two just call her a female demon, making me worry about my brother for so long?"

"Tie Niu, it was so dark just now, neither of us recognized that it was Lady Liu,"

Zhang Shun chuckled and said, "We thought it was my brother who secretly..."

"I boarded the ship with you all, I don't have time for anything else!"

Zhao Yuan glared angrily at his brothers.

"No wonder we searched the entire ship but couldn't find anyone,"

Jiao Ting exclaimed, "Who would have thought that this young lady Liu would be hiding in my brother's cabin?"

"Brother, I heard that Miss Liu's parents are currently in Tokyo,"

Shi Xiu understood Zhao Yuan's thoughts and asked with some worry, "Could it be that she wants to leave Liangshan?"

"It's not a matter of whether or not, it's certain,"

Zhao Yuan sighed softly: "Besides, I've already agreed to it!"

“Brother! This Lady Liu has been on the mountain for over a month, and she knows the true strengths and weaknesses of Liangshan perfectly,”

Shi Xiu said, "Moreover, she is also proficient in mechanical devices. I heard from Song Wan, the brother of the Works Department, that Lady Liu improved the Divine Arm Bow and made many other mechanical armors."

"If she leaves Liangshan and is used by someone else, wouldn't that be..."

"I know everything you said,"

Zhao Yuan said helplessly, "But we can't just not let her reunite with her parents because of these things, can we?"

"Ah Xiu is only a teenager, still a child. If we keep her confined to the mountain and don't let her leave, how are we any different from other bandits and robbers?"

Chapter 250 Another girl appeared.

Shi Xiu wanted to persuade him further, but seeing the resolute expression on Zhao Yuan's face, he could only give up.

Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Jiao Ting, and Zhang Shun, who were standing nearby, largely agreed with Zhao Yuan's statement.

Li Kui, in particular, nodded repeatedly as he listened.

“Brother is right, it’s only natural for that young woman to go see her parents! Take me for example, if anyone tries to stop me from seeing my mother, even if they are the King of Heaven himself, I’ll chop them to pieces!”

That's settled then.

Zhao Yuan walked to Zhang Shun's cabin, intending to squeeze in for the night.

Little did he know, in the very corner where they had just been talking...

Liu Huiniang was leaning against the wall, standing there.

His expression showed both anger and emotion.

"I'm not a child anymore..."

......

Bianliang, Tokyo

Around this time last year,

Zhao Yuan transmigrated to this Water Margin world.

Now, revisiting this place, it's because of the assassination attempt on Zhao Ji.

He naturally couldn't use his original appearance.

He then smeared his originally fair face with black paint on the merchant's clothes.

They then attached a few more fake whiskers.

He aged ten years in an instant.

"Brother, I never knew you knew this!"

Liu Huiniang was stunned by what she saw.

Since that night when I agreed to let Liu Huiniang leave,

the next day,

After meeting Zhao Yuan, this girl changed her way of addressing him and started to imitate Qiong Ying.

You have to call him "elder brother"!

And her reasons were perfectly valid.

Liu Huiniang said she had already recognized Qiongying as her older sister.

Zhao Yuan is Qiong Ying's older brother.

Then it is only natural for her to call him "brother".

It's just a title; Zhao Yuan naturally wouldn't care.

But in the two days that followed,

He clearly felt that Liu Huiniang suddenly became much closer to him.

Back when we were in Liangshan,

Although this girl can also act cute and charming, and act coquettishly in front of Zhao Yuan,

But Zhao Yuan always felt that it was a deliberate act.

Unlike now,

Liu Huiniang, like Qiongying, seems to have truly come to regard Zhao Yuan as an elder brother.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you when we get back..."

Zhao Yuan only spoke halfway through his sentence.

Only then did I remember the girl in front of me; she had met her parents in Tokyo.

Why would he ever return to Liangshan?

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

Liu Huiniang said in a low voice.

"Okay, there's nothing to be sorry about,"

Zhao Yuan ruffled her hair: "I'm going to inquire about Brother Xu's situation later. What about you? Do you want to come with us first, or should I find someone to accompany you directly to your relative's house?"

"Brother, Ah Xiu will go with you first,"

Liu Huiniang said softly, "After we've found out about Scholar Xu, brother, you can accompany Ah Xiu to your uncle's house."

"What am I going to do?"

Zhao Yuan chuckled and said, "If your father sees me, I'm afraid it will be the same as last time—a direct confrontation with swords and spears!"

"Back in Chuzhou, if it weren't for my brother saving Ah Xiu's life, she might have perished in the Ji River long ago,"

Liu Huiniang blushed slightly and tugged at Zhao Yuan's arm, pleading sweetly.

"Ah Xiu should make sure her parents thank you."

"That's fine,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Liu Huiniang's invitation reminded him of something else.

Liu Huiniang's uncle in Bianliang, the capital of the Eastern Capital, was none other than Chen Xizhen.

This man was related to Liu Huiniang's father, Liu Guang, by marriage; their wives were their biological sisters.

Chen Xizhen also had a daughter who was infamous in the novel *The Tale of the Suppression of Bandits*.

It was Chen Liqing, who was known as the female version of Li Kui and nicknamed the Female Flying Guard!

It is said that this woman had fair skin and delicate features, and was more beautiful than any other woman.

In terms of appearance, she was in no way inferior to Liu Huiniang; she was also a stunningly beautiful woman.

But unlike Liu Huiniang, who was completely powerless,

Chen Liqing possessed superhuman strength and a violent temper.

Under the tutelage of his father, Chen Xizhen, he mastered martial arts.

Holding a pear blossom ancient Ding spear weighing thirty-six catties and fifteen feet long,

This woman possesses superb marksmanship and exceptional martial arts skills.

He was also incredibly strong and skilled in archery, his superb archery skills were no less than Hua Rong's.

He was also skilled in using a Tayuanbao carved bow, equipped with carved-feathered wolf-tooth arrows.

Piercing a willow branch and piercing a louse, hitting the target every time.

That's why she was called "Female Flying Guard"!
