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

Before it could be chopped down,

The long spear in Dong Ping's hand

He then flicked forward with his wrist.

It pierced straight through the bearded general's throat!

"Bang!"

The machete fell limply to the ground!

The bearded general clutched his throat forcefully.

But the blood was still oozing out.

But it just wouldn't stop!

"You! You bastard, you actually dared to kill..."

Before he could finish uttering a hoarse sentence,

The bearded general then fell from his horse to the ground.

After twitching a few times,

Then there was no more movement!

.....

Seeing the bearded military general,

It only took two or three moves.

He died at the hands of Dong Ping.

Military officers and government troops were stationed around the drill ground.

There was an uproar!

"This guy actually dares to kill someone?"

"In such a short time, he killed Wang Hu on his horse. This guy is really something!"

"Wang Hu is considered one of the top experts in Qingzhou, yet he lost so decisively!"

.....

Amidst the uproar of the government troops...

Many Qingzhou military officers were displeased.

They were both green and white.

Qingzhou has not experienced war for many years.

On weekdays,

At most, they'll suppress bandits in the vicinity.

To deal with the peasant bandits wielding wooden clubs and iron forks

These military generals had never fought against a master like the Twin Spears Master!

The thought of what it would have been like if it had been me on stage...

At this moment

The person lying silently beneath the horse,

Isn't that also...?

Thinking of this,

The officers and soldiers exchanged glances.

They then unexpectedly arrived together in front of Murong Yanda.

He knelt down in worship!

"Your Excellency, Wang Hu has rendered meritorious service in suppressing bandits in Qingzhou on numerous occasions, and has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the imperial court."

"Now he's been stabbed to death on horseback by that bastard Dong Ping,"

"I beg Your Excellency to uphold justice for Wang Hu! Make that scoundrel Dong Ping pay with his life!"

"Please, Your Honor, make the decision!"

The generals had barely finished speaking when

The government troops below, who had already received their instructions,

They all knelt down on the ground.

"this....."

Murong Yanda looked at the generals and soldiers who were kneeling in neat rows before him.

He immediately wavered.

Although before the competition,

He had said that deaths and injuries were not a concern.

But ever since Qin Ming defected...

Because there has been no suitable candidate for the position of Commander-in-Chief.

Murong Yanda gradually lost control over these government troops.

Now they are being coerced by these generals and government troops.

Murong Yanda immediately felt a little guilty.

Fearing that they might displease these government troops,

They might then do something disrespectful.

After all these years,

For various reasons

And thus a mutiny broke out.

The assassination of the superior officer was accomplished.

There are already quite a few of them.

This was also a problem caused by the official system of the Song Dynasty.

As per Song Tingde's request

To guard against military generals causing trouble

High-level generals,

Every two or three years,

Then he will be transferred to another place!

But lower-level generals

However, they cannot be moved at will.

Over time,

This resulted in high-ranking military officers.

A general who doesn't know his soldiers, and soldiers who don't know their general—that's the situation.

And lower-ranking generals

However, because their families had served as generals in the same place for generations,

They gradually became like holdouts in the military.

If these people are not handled properly...

This makes it very easy for trouble to arise.

"But as I said before, once I step onto the field, then..."

Murong Yanda wanted to say something more.

In order to preserve one's prestige,

But before he could finish speaking,

He was interrupted by a general.

"Although the lord has spoken beforehand, martial arts competitions in the training ground are ultimately different from battles, so how can we casually attack our comrades!"

"Not to mention, Wang Hu has also rendered meritorious service to the country!"

"you....."

Murong Yanda stared at the low-ranking generals before him with a dark expression.

At this moment,

He missed Qin Ming, who had already defected, terribly.

If there were Thunderbolt,

With him keeping these government troops in check,

These low-ranking generals,

How dare you speak to Murong Yanda so disrespectfully!

Murong Yanda sighed.

"Fine, since that's the case, then..."

Chapter 674 Dong Ping's Promotion

Although because of the competition just now

Murong Yanda was quite surprised by Dong Ping's martial arts skills.

But anyway,

Ultimately, maintaining stability is still the most important thing.

In that case,

Then naturally, we can only make do with the dual-wielding general!

Murong Yanda had already made up his mind.

Just as he was about to speak,

Dong Ping, who was standing to the side, noticed that something was wrong.

If Murong Yanda were to hold him accountable...

To appease these government troops from Qingzhou

So, his trip to Qingzhou...

Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?

Thinking of this,

The dual-wielding general quickly rushed ahead of Murong Yanda.

He gave a cold laugh at the government troops and generals of Qingzhou.

"Hmph, that fellow's martial arts were lacking, he was defeated and died, who can he blame?"

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, how dare you bring your soldiers to threaten the prefect!"

"But you don't have the guts to challenge me!"

"No wonder Qingzhou is now teeming with bandits, yet it's impossible to eradicate them completely!"

"You! How dare you humiliate us like this!"
