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

"this......."

Chen Xizhen hesitated for a moment.

My niece and daughter ran away from their arranged marriage.

This is not a pleasant thing to hear.

But Shandong is such a large place,

He was 80% certain

Those two girls must have gone to Liangshan.

But Liu Huiniang was always cunning.

What if they do the opposite...?

Chapter 457 Everyone was stunned by the news

"Is such that,"

Chen Xizhen said, trying to cover it up,

“My daughter and niece got separated because they encountered bandits while traveling.”

“My niece’s family was also planning to settle in Anle Village, Yizhou.”

"It is possible that the two of them also went to Yizhou."

"If the three of you could search along the way when you go to Yizhou, I would be extremely grateful."

After saying a few polite words,

Chen Xizhen then gave the three men a brief description of the appearances of Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang.

after that,

Both sides wished each other well.

Chen Xizhen continued on his way to Liangshan.

The three people here,

Then continue on your way.

Following Chen Xizhen's description,

Inquire about Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang.

He went to Lanshan County, Yizhou to seek refuge with Fan Chenglong.

........

Jingyang Town

Yun Tianbiao obtained soldiers from his command,

Select five hundred elite soldiers,

It was handed over to Zhu Wannian and Zhu Yongqing.

His son, Yunlong,

He also excitedly put on his armor.

I'm preparing to go with my two cousins.

They went together to Liangshan to "make a name for themselves".

The group was about to set off.

But unexpectedly, at this moment,

Suddenly, a mounted scout galloped into the military camp.

Arriving behind Yun Tianbiao,

The scout hurriedly dismounted.

The words that followed

But this surprised the few people present.

My heart skipped a beat!

"General, the Zhu Family Village on Dulonggang has been captured by Liangshan. The other two villages on the hill, Hu Family Village and Li Family Village, have also surrendered to Liangshan!"

"What did you say?"

Yun Tianbiao thought he had misheard.

The scout could only repeat the message again.

He added,

"Zhu Chaofeng, the head of the Zhu Family Village, was publicly tried and beheaded by Liangshan."

"His three sons, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao, all died in battle when Liangshan attacked Zhu Family Village."

"Of the entire Zhu family in Dulonggang, only Zhu Longde, their youngest son, survived."

"This is impossible!"

Zhu Wannian grabbed the scout by the collar.

He roared, his face ashen.

"The Dulonggang area is strategically important, and the Zhujiazhuang village is protected by the Pantuo Road!"

"Furthermore, the manor has ample funds and provisions. Even if it were besieged, it should have been able to hold out for three to five months. How could it have been taken over by Liangshan so quickly!"

"Actually, the Zhu Family Village was captured by Liangshan in just one day,"

The scout swallowed hard.

He recounted all the information he had gathered.

Upon hearing that the Zhu family had believed Luan Tingyu's words,

Night raid on Liangshan camp,

Instead, they suffered heavy losses.

Zhu Wannian suddenly remembered something.

He hurriedly asked,

"What happened to Luan Tingyu, the martial arts instructor from the Zhu Family Village? Was he also killed by Liangshan?"

"Well, it's said that Teacher Luan has already surrendered to Liangshan!"

The scout had barely finished speaking when

A man with a square face and large ears walked out from the side.

A burly man with broad shoulders and a full beard,

He roared angrily, his face flushed red.

"You scoundrel, stop talking nonsense! My elder brother is the instructor of the Zhu Family Manor. He is loyal to the Zhu Family and will live and die with them!"

"How could we possibly surrender to those Liangshan bandits!"

This robust, burly man,

Even Luan Tingyu, the Iron Rod, had a twin brother, Luan Tingfang, the Double-Blade Swordsman.

He was also the mentor of the brothers Zhu Wannian and Zhu Yongqing...

Chapter 458 A Plan to Kill Two Birds with One Stone

"General, how could I dare to speak such nonsense?"

The scout quickly said to Yun Tianbiao,

"The news that Teacher Luan surrendered to Liangshan is indeed true, I..."

Before he could finish speaking,

The scout was then suddenly kicked by Luan Tingfang.

He was kicked unconscious.

"You bastard, how dare you slander my brother!"

"enough!"

Yun Tianbiao slammed his hand on the table in anger.

"Luan Tingfang! This is a military camp, where do you have the right to be so insolent!"

"Master, we will definitely investigate Teacher Luan's matter thoroughly,"

Zhu Yongqing pulled back Luan Tingfang, who was still somewhat indignant, and advised her...

"If this fellow is talking nonsense, not only will my uncle not be spared, but my brother and I will not be spared either!"

"Master, you should leave now!"

Zhu Yongqing forcibly dragged Luan Tingfang away.

Yun Tianbiao and Zhu Wannian watched Luan Tingfang's retreating figure.

The former asked in a cold voice,

What's your opinion on the matter of Zhujiazhuang?

"There's a serious problem with Luan Tingyu!"

May you live ten thousand years of hatred.

"Perhaps that fellow had already secretly surrendered to Liangshan, which is why my Zhu Family Village was defeated so quickly!"

Although Zhu Wannian and Zhu Chaofeng didn't get along very well,

But they are brothers after all.

Now, upon hearing that his elder brother had been killed by Liangshan,

Naturally, I still feel a bit sad.

Furthermore,

He's been racking his brains these past two days.

That's how he persuaded Yun Tianbiao to lend him five hundred elite soldiers.

Originally, he was hoping to return to Zhu Family Village in Dulonggang and compete with Zhu Chaofeng for the position of village chief.

Who would have thought that before they even set off,

The Zhu Family Village had already been captured by Liangshan!

How could Zhu Wannian not feel resentful?

"Regardless of whether Luan Tingyu had already joined Liangshan..."

Yun Tianbiao said with a gloomy expression,

"In short, Luan Tingfang cannot be allowed to live any longer!"

"Since his brother has become a bandit, he might drag him down with him at any time!"

"So what does my uncle mean...?"

Zhu Wannian raised his hand and gestured across his neck.

Why should we kill him?

Yun Tianbiao glared at his nephew, annoyed.

"Since this fellow's elder brother has already joined Liangshan, if he dies at our hands, Liangshan will definitely launch a full-scale attack. At that time, how can we resist with only the manpower of Jingyang Town?"

"Tonight, you two brothers go and invite Luan Tingfang to a banquet, get him drunk, tie him up, and send him straight to Yizhou Prefecture!"

Yun Tianbiao grinned maliciously.

"When the governor of Yizhou learned that Gao Feng was an incompetent fool, he often made things difficult for me in the past."
