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

Zhang San chuckled and said, “Master, I dare not take credit for this. If it weren’t for Master Zhao’s arrangements, we wouldn’t even know where to go after leaving Tokyo!”

Does hard work equate to merit?

Lu Zhishen glared at him, then burst out laughing.

After meeting acquaintances here,

Zhao Yuan pulled Lin Chong aside and introduced him to Sun An, Qiong Ying, and the Ruan brothers.

Sun An, Qiong Ying, and Ruan Xiaoqi greeted Lin Chong.

When it was Ruan Xiaoer's turn,

Lin Chong laughed and said, "This brother is quite skilled, but he's a bit too impatient. As soon as he heard that I was from Liangshan, he immediately wanted to fight me!"

"Instructor Lin truly lives up to his reputation as the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards of Tokyo. His marksmanship is superb. If I had known it was Instructor Lin earlier, I would have immediately surrendered!"

Ruan Xiaoer also cupped his hands in greeting.

Zhao Yuan saw that although the two of them looked normal,

However, their conversation clearly revealed some lingering resentment towards the fierce fight they had just endured.

“Brother, you may not know this, but Shijie Village makes its living by fishing. The government is forcibly demanding big fish, but those big fish are all in the depths of the marshland. Liangshan does not allow outsiders to go in to fish. If they can’t catch big fish, Shijie Village cannot give thanks to the government. Naturally, they are forced and bullied. That’s why this Brother Ruan harbors resentment towards Liangshan.”

After explaining the reason for his attack to Lin Chong, Zhao Yuan smiled and said to Ruan Xiaoer,

"Brother Ruan, don't worry about the outcome of the battle just now. You are a dragon in the water, while my brother is a tiger on land. Once you, the dragon, come ashore, you are naturally five parts weaker. How can you be a match for a tiger! One day, when my brother boards a boat and goes into the water, he will probably be the one to surrender to you!"

Chapter Seventy: Lin Chong (Available tonight, please subscribe)

Zhao Yuan received a few words,

This made Lin Chong and Ruan Xiaoer both laugh.

The two put aside their pride and greeted each other again.

After everyone got to know each other,

They then returned to the Ruan family's courtyard and enjoyed a hearty meal and drinks together.

When the wine was half-finished, Lin Chong asked Zhao Yuan and Lu Zhishen about their plans for the future.

After learning that the two had nowhere to stay,

His face showed some discomfort, and he let out a long sigh.

“Commander, Brother Zhao, if I were in charge of Liangshan, I could keep you here immediately. But now the leader of this stronghold is Wang Lun. That fellow is narrow-minded. Master Chai was kind to him. When I first came up the mountain, I had Master Chai’s letter with me, and he still made things difficult for me in every way.”

“If I beg him to let you stay, he will surely think that I want to use you to seize his position as the leader of the mountain stronghold!”

Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi said angrily, "Wang Lun's reputation for being narrow-minded has spread throughout the martial arts world. How can such a person be worthy of being the leader of Liangshan?"

"In my opinion, we should go up the mountain tonight. If Wang Lun is willing to take us in, fine. If he is not, we should just kill him. Then we can take over Liangshan. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"this......"

Lin Chong hesitated for a moment. Although he was also extremely dissatisfied with Wang Lun,

But in the end, Wang Lun took him in at Liangshan.

Seeing the conflicted look on Lin Chong's face, Zhao Yuan naturally didn't want to press him further.

He's not Chao Gai; why would he force Lin Chong to take the blame for the fight with Wang Lun?

They were going to Liangshan.

Zhao Yuan also wants to seize the position of leader of Liangshan in a fair and square manner!

"Brother, don't worry too much. The world is so vast, there will always be a place for us to find refuge!"

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "With my and my brother's abilities, why would we have to worry about where we can't go?"

Lin Chong didn't answer, but silently downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.

He immediately stood up and called to Zhang San, who was standing beside him, to return to Liangshan together.

"Instructor Lin, why are you in such a hurry?"

The Flower Monk scratched his bald head: "I haven't had enough to drink with you yet!"

"Commander, please wait half a day,"

Lin Chong said resolutely to Zhao Yuan and Lu Zhishen,

“I’m going back to the mountain stronghold to find Wang Lun right now. If he’s willing to take in the commander and Brother Zhao, that would be great. If not, I’ll just take my family down the mountain and wander the world with the two brothers!”

After saying this,

Before Zhao Yuan and Lu Zhishen could ask him to stay, Lin Chong rushed out the door.

After he leaves,

Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but say, "This Instructor Lin is highly skilled and also quite loyal, but sometimes he's not very efficient in his work."

"Alas, if he didn't have this kind of personality, he wouldn't have ended up in Liangshan!"

Lu Zhishen took a sip of wine and sighed.

Zhao Yuan had the same idea.

He was not worried that Lin Chong would clash with Wang Lun on this trip.

In the original timeline, Lin Chong had lost all his relatives and was left all alone.

He was oppressed by Wang Lun again, and then instigated by Wu Yong.

That's how the Liangshan bandits clashed!

But in this current timeline, Lin Chong's family is reunited at Liangshan.

He had someone to care about, and no one to instigate him.

They probably wouldn't gamble everything!

......

After Lin Chong left, the group drank and ate until late at night.

Afterwards, the Ruan brothers arranged accommodations for everyone to rest.

The group had been traveling for days, and today they were well-fed and satisfied.

After lying down, they all fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Yuan was no exception.

He had planned to sleep until dawn.

Unexpectedly, he was woken up in the middle of the night.

When I opened my eyes, it was Ruan Xiaoqi.

His expression was solemn as he spoke in a low voice.

"Brother, there may be some trouble at Liangshan. A man has come from outside, saying that he is on the orders of Instructor Lin and invites you to come to Liangshan to meet him!"

Chapter 71 Zhao Dalang Goes to Liangshan Under the Moonlight (Please Subscribe)

Lin Chong sent someone to persuade him to join Liangshan?

Zhao Yuan hurriedly got up, threw on a piece of clothing,

Upon entering the courtyard, they found that Sun An, Lu Zhishen, and Ruan Xiaoer were already up.

Only Li Shishi and Qiong Ying's side

It seems no one has notified them yet; everyone is sound asleep.

There were three other people standing in the courtyard, but they were all unfamiliar faces.

After seeing Zhao Yuan come out,

One of them, who had three tufts of beard under his chin, immediately bowed and said...

"Is this Brother Zhao? Instructor Lin has already fought Wang Lun at Liangshan. Please come up the mountain quickly and take charge of the situation!"

What? Lin Chong killed Wang Lun?

Zhao Yuan was completely stunned.

"I didn't expect Instructor Lin to be so decisive this time!"

Lu Zhishen laughed heartily.

"When I heard what Instructor Lin said last night, I thought he couldn't bear to do anything to Wang Lun, but I never expected that Instructor Lin would do something so big all by himself!"

Ruan Xiaoqi also said with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, something's fishy about this. We need to find out more!" Ruan Xiao'er wasn't as optimistic as the other two.

"I also feel that something is not right,"

Sun An also shook his head.

"Judging from Instructor Lin's attitude last night, he was clearly willing to take his family down the mountain rather than fight Wang Lun. How could he have changed his mind in just half a day?"

"In my opinion, it must be that Instructor Lin went back to persuade Wang Lun to accept my brother, but Wang Lun made excuses and angered Instructor Lin, which led to this result!" Ruan Xiaoqi said dismissively.

"In any case, let's find out the details first."

Zhao Yuan looked solemnly at the three people in the courtyard and asked,

"Who are you? Where are Zhang San and Li Si? Why didn't they come to deliver the message?"

"Brother Zhao, Zhang San and Li Si are currently on the mountain, assisting Instructor Lin in controlling the situation."

The man with the three strands of beard replied, "My name is Zhou Wu, and I am one of Instructor Lin's men. That's why I was sent to deliver this message."

"Since Instructor Lin invited me to the mountain, is there any letter?"

"The 977 Incident happened too suddenly; we were unprepared!"

"Is there a token?"

"I left in a hurry and didn't bring it with me!"

"Fine, you go out first. I'll change my clothes and then go to Liangshan with you!" Zhao Yuan said expressionlessly.

"Please hurry, Brother Zhao, or something might go wrong!"

Zhou Wu left those words behind and then left the courtyard with his two henchmen.

After he left, the people in the courtyard split into two factions.

Lu Zhishen and Ruan Xiaoqi felt they should hurry up and go to Liangshan, and take advantage of Lin Chong killing Wang Lun to seize the leadership position.

Sun An and Ruan Xiaoer, however, felt that something was amiss and that they should wait until they had investigated the matter thoroughly before speaking.

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment, and finally decided...

Go to Liangshan!

"Brother, this matter still needs to be..."

Ruan Xiaoer wanted to persuade him further, but Zhao Yuan shook his head and said,

"Brother Ruan, whether it's true or not that Instructor Lin fought Wang Lun, I must go up the mountain!"

Sun An, who was standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood what Zhao Yuan meant.
