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

Zhao Yuan agreed, "Brother is right. The only thing we need to do now is to go to Liangshan and rescue Instructor Lin's family. We will know the answers to the other questions when the time comes!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuan had made a decision, the others had no objections.

They put Zhou Wu in the water and soaked him for a while.

After he woke up, Zhao Yuan gave him two paths.

Either sink to the bottom of the pond and feed the fish!

Either lead Zhao Yuan and the others to infiltrate the Liangshan camp!

Although Zhou Wu was barely considered a minor leader in the village this week...

But he clearly wasn't very loyal to Wang Lun.

Naturally, he immediately chose the latter.

Now only two of the three small boats remain.

Zhao Yuan and the others then split up and rode in different carriages, led by Zhou Wu.

Rowing towards the golden sand beach.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered small boats patrolling Liangshan.

Zhou Wu handled everything, managing to get away with it.

Once they reached Jinsha Beach, the three Ruan brothers disguised themselves as Zhou Wude's subordinates.

They tied Zhao Yuan, Sun An, and Lu Zhishen up with tight knots and forced them up the mountain.

After passing three passes and the Broken Gold Pavilion, we finally arrived at Liangshan's main stronghold.

At this time, Wang Lun, who had already been informed,

They sent a thin man to escort Zhou Wu.

"Heroes, this man is Wang Lun's trusted fellow townsman, Wang Er!"

Just as Zhou Wu finished speaking in a low voice, Wang Er had already walked up to him.

After scanning the crowd, he asked arrogantly,

"Why are there only three? Weren't there supposed to be four men who were on good terms with Zhao Dalang?"

With the Ruan brothers watching over him, Zhou Wu dared not make any unusual moves.

I had no choice but to answer,

"In response to Second Master, four men boarded the small boat, but after entering the marsh, one of them resisted and was killed and sunk to the bottom of the water. We also lost two brothers!"

Wang Er nodded, without any suspicion.

"Which of these people is Zhao Dalang?"

"In response to your question, Second Master, this man is Zhao Dalang."

Zhou Wu dragged Zhao Yuan in front of Wang Er.

"Heh, is this the so-called hero who can kill a tiger with a single punch?"

Wang Er curled his lip and said disdainfully,

"I don't think he's anything special. I just used a little trick to capture this guy and bring him to Liangshan!"

"This success is all thanks to Second Master's divine foresight!" Zhou Wu quickly flattered.

Wang Er ignored Zhou Wu.

Instead, he stared greedily at Zhao Yuan, his gaze as if he were eyeing gold and silver.

"Alright, I'll personally take Zhao Dalang to see the leader! You take the others to the dungeon and lock them up with Lin Chong, to be executed tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Zhou Wu replied.

Zhao Yuan also gave the Ruan brothers a wink.

The three immediately understood.

This was to send them with Zhou Wu to rescue Lin Chong.

Although the three Ruan brothers were worried about Zhao Yuan,

But he still obeyed orders.

They escorted Sun An and Lu Zhishen, following behind Zhou Wu.

They headed towards the dungeon at Liangshan.

After they leave,

Wang Er then pushed Zhao Yuan and led him to the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

In the huge hall,

A man with a fair complexion and a beard, dressed like a scholar.

He was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing Wang Er push Zhao Yuan into the house,

The man immediately stepped forward and asked,

"Is this the Zhao Dalang?"

“That’s right, it’s him,” Wang Er nodded.

The scholar-like man sized up Zhao Yuan for a moment.

He then burst into laughter.

“Haha, hahahaha…”

"This must be Chief Wang Lun, right?"

Zhao Yuan asked in a cold voice, "I, Zhao Dalang, have never met Chief Wang before, nor have we had any conflicts. I wonder why you are inviting me up the mountain?"

"Zhao Dalang? Heh,"

Wang Lun scoffed: "At this point, you still think you can hide it from me? Zhao Dalang, who killed the tiger, is clearly the assassin who attempted to assassinate the current emperor, Zhao Yuan!"

"Is Chief Wang sure he hasn't mistaken me for someone else?"

Zhao Yuan was startled, but his expression remained unchanged as he spoke.

“I have also heard of Zhao Yuan. He is only twenty years old, with a fair complexion and no beard. I, on the other hand, have a dark complexion and am much older than him.”

"Although I don't know what methods you used to change the color of your face, at this point, don't waste your breath."

Wang Lun laughed smugly, "When Zhang San came back and was drinking with Li Si, he revealed your identity in detail!"

"But the net of heaven is vast and inescapable; their entire conversation was overheard by my trusted family member!"

"I never expected that Lin Chong would actually know a daring traitor like you! Now, it's just a convenient gift for me!"

As Wang Lun spoke, he reached out and took out an official notice.

After opening it, he read it directly to Zhao Yuan.

"Zhao Yuan of Dongjing is a traitor who attempted assassination. Everyone in the world has the right to kill him... Now, no matter who you are or what your status is, as long as you capture Zhao Yuan and Li Shishi and hand them over to the authorities, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and granted official titles and ranks!"

"I, Wang Lun, have failed the imperial examinations time and again. I had given up all hope of a career in government. But unexpectedly, after becoming an outlaw, I have been given this tremendous opportunity!"

As Wang Lun spoke, he looked with emotion at the plaque in the center of the hall that read "Hall of Gathering Righteousness."

"As long as I hand you and that famous courtesan Li Shishi from Tokyo over to the authorities, I can not only clear my name as a bandit, but also directly enter officialdom. How could I not be happy about such a wonderful thing?"

"Happy? Of course I should be happy!"

Zhao Yuan's voice came from behind Wang Lun.

"Actually, I'm very happy right now."

"Heh, what do you have, a dying man...?"

Wang Lun turned around, intending to launch into a tirade of mockery at Zhao Yuan.

But after seeing the scene behind him clearly,

But his expression suddenly froze, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Crack!"

That's the sound of a person's neck being snapped!

This sound made Wang Lun involuntarily swallow.

"Zhao...Hero, Wang...Wang Lun know they were wrong. I agree to Instructor Lin's request. You can join Liangshan!"

"It's a bit late to realize this now, isn't it?"

Zhao Yuan, with a grim face, threw Wang Erde's corpse on the ground.

He strode towards Wang Lun.

As he approached step by step,

Despite it being the dead of winter, in this Hall of Gathering Righteousness,

It wasn't exactly warm either.

But beads of sweat still appeared on Wang Lun's forehead!

"Hero Zhao, give me another chance, and I'll relinquish my position as leader of Liangshan to you! Please, you must spare me..."

Before Wang Lun could finish speaking, Zhao Yuan covered his mouth.

He sneered.

"You know what? Chief Wang, I really wasn't lying to you just now! I'm truly happy right now!"

"Originally, I didn't intend to take over Liangshan now, because that would inevitably give people something to say."

"But now, thanks to you, I can finally openly and legitimately seize Liangshan!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lun's eyes widened instantly.

His eyes were filled with regret and pleading.

But it was too late; the next moment...

Then there was a "click," and he, like Wang Er,

His neck was broken!

At this moment, a commotion arose outside the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

Immediately, someone outside announced: "Chief Wang, Instructor Lin has rebelled! He's leading those we captured tonight, charging towards the Hall of Righteousness!"

Zhao Yuan ignored the people outside and put away the official notice.

Then, on the weapon rack inside the Hall of Righteousness,

He found a waist knife and cut off Wang Lun's head.

Outside, someone spoke again.

"Brother, I am Du Qian! Instructor Lin has rebelled, and we can't stop him. What should we do?"

"Come in!" Zhao Yuan said loudly.

Du Qian immediately pushed open the door and entered.

But what I saw at first glance was...

That's Wang Lun's head, which has already been cut off!

"Who are you! How dare you harm my brother!"

Du Qian looked alarmed and grabbed his broadsword, ready to fight to the death!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan casually tossed Wang Lun's head over!

Du Qian quickly reached out to take it.

Zhao Yuan then said, "Your Chief Wang sent someone to lure me up the mountain, intending to assassinate me! How could I not kill him?"
