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

"I was able to plead for the general before Prime Minister Cai and the others."

Huyan Zhuo remained silent for a long time.

He could only nod and say,

"That's all we can do now."

Seeing Huyan Zhuo nod in agreement,

The featherless arrow also breathed a sigh of relief.

His current fear is that Huyan Zhuo will insist on returning to Tokyo.

if that is the case,

Huyan Zhuo will definitely be punished by the imperial court.

His punishment

But it certainly won't be light.

But if they sneak back...

The relationship between Zhang Qing and the Prefect of Dongchang Prefecture

Unlike the tense situation between Dong Ping and the Prefect of Dongping,

Although this time the Dongchang Prefecture suffered heavy losses, with most of its troops gone,

But Zhang Qing was confident.

The prefect of Dongchang Prefecture will definitely find a way to help him cover this up.

After all, besides a good relationship,

There were no bandits within the territory of Dongchang Prefecture.

It was all thanks to the featherless arrow.

If something happens to him,

Dongchang Prefecture will likely end up like the other prefectures in Shandong.

It became a place teeming with bandits.

.....

While Zhang Qing and Hu Yanzhuo were hiding in Yuncheng County to avoid being searched by Liangshan,

Song Jiang, who had long been eyeing them,

He had already led his henchmen into Yuncheng County.

The group was worried that their whereabouts would be exposed.

I dare not stay at an inn.

Only under Song Jiang's leadership,

They arrived at a secluded courtyard.

The owner of this courtyard is Wang Er.

He is a filial son.

When my mother passed away before,

The family was too poor to afford a burial.

In the end, it was Song Jiang who generously provided the funds.

He helped bury his mother...

Chapter 784 Slapping the Imperial Court in the Face

now,

When he saw Song Jiang leading his men to find him,

Although Wang Er was inwardly lamenting his misfortune...

But after all, the timely rain had done him a great favor.

Wang Er could only secretly hide the few people from Qingfeng Mountain in his own courtyard.

"Sir Song, how dare you come back at a time like this!"

Wang Er said to Song Jiang with a bitter face.

"The county magistrate has been transferred,"

"The two constables, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, who were originally acquainted with the clerk, have also become bandits."

"Now, Yuncheng is under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Liu, all because of his connection with Liangshan by the Liangshan Marsh."

"I hate the bandits to the core,"

"In this county town, every two or three days, constables go door-to-door arresting unfamiliar outsiders,"

"Sir Song, what will happen if you are caught by the authorities?"

"Brother Wang, don't panic,"

Song Jiang, however, remained calm and said,

"We have come from Liangshan,"

"I doubt that the magistrate of Yuncheng County would dare to offend Liangshan."

What he said was true.

But they were using Liangshan as a shield.

Let's raise the banner!

But Song Jiang had no choice.

Qingfeng Mountain is located in Qingzhou.

They have absolutely no reputation in Jeju.

Now, to put Wang Er's mind at ease,

We can only borrow the name of Liangshan for now!

"Liangshan? Clerk, you went to Liangshan too?"

Upon hearing that Liangshan had gained fame,

Wang Er's eyes lit up immediately as he asked,

"Since my mother passed away, I've had no more ties in this county town,"

"I've always wanted to go to Liangshan to join them,"

"But we just don't have the connections..."

Having said that,

Wang Er stared longingly at Song Jiang.

The meaning is obviously self-evident.

Clearly, they hoped that Timely Rain could take him along.

Let's go to Liangshan together!

However, Song Jiang himself was not a member of Liangshan.

Although he had been plotting how to take Liangshan for himself,

But that was still just a plan.

Now, how far away is it from being realized?

It's still a long way off!

How could they possibly agree to take Wang Er up the mountain like that?

In case of breaking faith afterwards

And then Wang Er spread the word.

He thus earned the reputation of being a timely rain.

Wouldn't we suffer losses?

"Brother Wang, please calm down,"

Song Jiang gently comforted him,

"We have come to Yuncheng on business,"

"Who has time to worry about anything else right now?"

"How about we finish our business first, and then we can talk about other things?"

"Okay, of course."

Wang Er thought that Song Jiang had already agreed.

He nodded repeatedly in haste.

"Of course I trust the clerk."

"I wonder what business the clerk has come to Yuncheng for?"

"If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask!"

"To be honest, Brother Wang, we've come here to find someone,"

Song Jiang didn't hide anything and said frankly,

"You must be aware of the battle that took place by the marshland these past two days, right?"

"Does the clerk mean the imperial court has dispatched a large army to conquer Liangshan?"

Wang Er laughed heartily.

"How could I not know about such an important matter?"

"A month ago, I learned that the imperial court was going to send a large army,"

"Our new County Magistrate Liu of Yuncheng is overjoyed,"

“Every day I would go up to the city wall and look westward, hoping that the government army would arrive soon.”

"Half a month ago, the imperial army really arrived,"

"Then Magistrate Liu even went so far as to requisition more grain in the county town,"

"Then they made us do hard labor to deliver the grain to the government army's camp."

"Back then, we thought the government troops were well-trained and had plenty of provisions,"

"I originally thought that Liangshan was really in trouble this time,"

"Who would have thought that it would only be a few days,"

"The government army of over ten thousand was completely wiped out by Liangshan,"

"Last night's fire... our Yuncheng is right next to the lake,"

"And I saw it very clearly!"

"Everyone initially thought that it must have been the government troops who burned down the towns of Liangshan,"

"Who knew that this morning, the Liangshan cavalry would arrive,"

"He rushed all the way to the city gate of Yuncheng and loudly recounted the details of last night's battle."

"Only then did we realize that the government had a large army,"

"In just one night, it was burned to ashes by Liangshan!"

"I heard that Magistrate Liu was on the city wall at the time,"
