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

But unexpectedly, his military orders had just been issued when...

Suddenly, a rider charged out from the ranks.

He spurred his horse forward and rode off.

"Brother, it's Cousin Liqing!"

"This girl is still so impatient!"

Zhao Yuan shook his head with amusement.

He then ordered Liu Huiniang to stay and oversee operations.

He, on the other hand, led a group of personal guards.

They chased after Chen Liqing.

...

at this time,

On the main road ahead,

More than three hundred government troops were pursuing and intercepting them.

And they were besieged and attacked.

They were four strong, healthy men.

Three of them,

It was during Chen Xizhen's earlier search for Liu Huiniang and Chen Liqing that...

The Gou brothers they encountered, Gou Huan and Gou Ying,

And there was also Zhen Xianglin, the former commander of Ma Xing Town.

And the remaining one

He was a good friend of Zhen Xianglin.

Fan Chenglong, the head of Lanshan County, Yizhou Prefecture.

It turns out that from that day,

After parting ways with Chen Xizhen

Zhen Xianglin then took the two Gou brothers with him.

I went to Lanshan County to stay with a friend.

Fan Chenglong was not only the village head in Lanshan County

The family also runs a mule and horse trading company.

This man is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and also possesses considerable wealth.

He usually enjoys making friends with heroes and valiant men.

Upon seeing Zhen Xianglin leading the two Gou brothers to seek refuge,

He naturally did not refuse.

They took the two brothers directly into their home...

Chapter 574 A Journey of Fleeing

unfortunately,

Although Fan Chenglong took in Zhen Xianglin

There are also the two Gou brothers.

But although he was wealthy,

In terms of status within the county,

But he was just a village head.

Furthermore, the corvée labor in Nalanshan County was heavy.

quickly,

Fan Chenglong made a mistake in a moment,

It delayed the completion of corvée labor.

He was severely punished by the county government.

Not only was a large sum of money confiscated,

He also received dozens of strokes of the cane from the county government.

After going home,

Fan Chenglong only learned this from his servants.

It turns out that this delay in the corvée labor was due to...

It turned out that the county government had deliberately arranged it all.

The purpose was because of the county magistrate and his officials in the yamen.

He coveted Fan Chenglong's wealth.

That's why I deliberately ripped him off.

Having learned the truth,

Even a clay figure has a bit of temper.

Not to mention that Fan Chenglong was never one to swallow his pride.

Enraged, the man...

He took Zhen Xianglin and the two Gou brothers with him.

They stormed the county government office.

The registrar, clerk, and county magistrate in that government office were all chopped into mincemeat.

Only the county magistrate was absent due to other matters.

This is how I escaped!

After causing a scene at the county government office,

Zhen Xianglin and the Gou brothers also obtained their identities.

And it was exposed by accident.

The three of them, along with Fan Chenglong,

Naturally, he could no longer stay in Lanshan County.

At this time,

That Zhen Xianglin and the Gou brothers

Thinking back to when I met Chen Xizhen before,

I once heard an old Taoist priest mention it.

He would settle down in Anle Village, Yanzhi Mountain, with Liu Guang's family.

The four immediately set off to seek refuge with him.

They had just left.

The magistrate of Nalanshan County also returned to the county office.

Upon discovering that the clerk, registrar, and county magistrate in the yamen had all been murdered...

Naturally, he was both shocked and furious.

He immediately ordered the cavalry and infantry captains in the yamen to...

They mobilized all the military horses and yamen runners from Lanshan County.

They chased after them all the way!

Fan Chenglong, Zhen Xianglin, and the Gou brothers,

Although their martial arts skills were all quite good.

But they fled all the way.

I was already hungry and tired.

They were then surrounded by government troops ten times their size.

They quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

In the midst of the chaos,

Fan Chenglong and Gou Ying were both injured.

It was all thanks to the protection of Zhen Xianglin and Gou Huan that

That's how they managed to save their lives for the time being.

"Brother, this can't go on!"

Gou Ying staggered.

He said, his face pale.

"Why don't you guys go first?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid none of the four of us will survive!"

Fan Chenglong, who was also injured, heard this.

He nodded in agreement.

"Brother Gou Ying is right!"

"We are both injured. If we drag this out any longer, it will only drag you down with us."

"Xianglin brothers, Gouhuan brothers, you two run!"

"My brother Gou Ying and I are here; at least we can help you hold off the pursuers!"

"no!"

Gou Huan shook his head and refused outright.

The Gou family was framed by Tong Guan.

The entire family, young and old, were either dead or had fled.

Now only the two brothers, Gou Huan and Gou Ying, have survived.

As the elder brother, De Gou Huan

Of course, he couldn't bear to leave his only younger brother!

"Second brother, now only the two of us brothers are left in the Gou family,"

"If I were to abandon you now, how could I face my parents in the afterlife!"

Gou Huan here is unwilling to leave.

They found a true auspicious unicorn over there.

He is a man of loyalty and righteousness.

Naturally, they didn't want to abandon their friends.

He escaped alone.

As the four people pulled at each other...

The government troops were pursuing them.

But they caught up again.
